Fair use rationale for Image:Whosfamily.jpg

Image:Whosfamily.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

(C) review

Removed this per copyvio:

Beginning with a traditional nuclear family and ending with blank spaces in which the child reader is instructed to "draw a picture of your family", this slight book catalogues multicultural contemporary family units, including those with single parents, lesbian and gay parents, mixed-race couples, grandparents and divorced parents. Kevin and his brother like their kimono-clad grandmother to help them with their jigsaw puzzles, while Ricky lives with two families. "Aunt Amanda and Uncle Stan", pictured riding in a blue convertible with their pets, "don't have any children at all" but are "still a family", says the narrator, because "they say Mouser and Fred are their 'babies.'" Because "animals have families, too", the text describes elephant, lion, chimpanzee and dog families as well as human families. (A human family headed by a mother is "like the chimpanzee family. Mama chimp raises the babies by herself, with the help of any older children she may have".) Ages 3-7.

Proposed Changes

After thoroughly reviewing the article, I find many content gaps regarding the book itself. I am planning to add multiple sections to the page, such as background, summary, analysis, genre, and reception sections. If you want to access my sources, they are in my sandbox on my page.

Changes Made

I have added all of my information from my sandbox to the actual page. I think the page has a more whole explanation and description of the book and answers basic questions surrouding Skutch's book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gvvic (talk • contribs) 20:51, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
