Fair use rationale for Image:Alamut1.jpg

Image:Alamut1.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.

Assassins Creed

There is no mention of the Assassins Creed video game (an adaptation of this novel) in this article. Needs rectifying? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.36.249 (talk) 16:24, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assassin's Creed used elements of the novel as inspiration for its story, but is not an adaptation of the novel. The novel doesn't feature a machine that sends people into the bodies of their distant ancestors. Nor does it feature a conspiracy by a group of historical figures that are secretly working for the Knight's Templar. The novel also involves different characters (Al Mualim is not based upon Hassan ibn Sabbah, but Rashid ad-Din Sinan) and different locations (Arsuf, not Alamut), and a different time period (1192, not 1092). In fact, other than Al Mualim ordering people to jump to their deaths at the start of the game (which is later revealed to be a hoax to scare their enemies), and the fact that both are about the Hashshashin, there is hardly any similarity at all between novel and game.
