Fair use rationale for Image:Rainbow television.jpg

Image:Rainbow television.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.

Stock replenisher

"...he took a job working as a stock replenisher for ... Sainsbury's" - sorry, but the internet is allergic to humour and subtlety: if he worked as a shelf-stacker, it's probably best to just say that he worked as a shelf-stacker Dom Kaos (talk) 22:27, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

As a previous employee of Tesco (though Sainsbury's may be different), I was a Stock Replenishment Operarative, and can say with a degree of certainty that shelf-stacking itself is simply one (albeit the most visible) of a number of distinct duties an SRO has. Unless we know for certain that Geoffrey just stacked the shelves, sticking to his job being referred to as Stock Replenishment Operarative is probably both safer and more accurate.

Anyone unclear as to what a Stock Replenishment Operarative is can always find a Wikipedia entry with a full description of the job role. Pobatti (talk) 20:00, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Jimmy Saville connection

Given the recent situation regarding Jimmy Saville's alleged activites, and that there are various other (as yet un-named) public figures and celebrities under investigation in connection with Saville, I believe that something needs to be altered regarding this line:

"This led to him missing the funeral of close friend Jimmy Savile."

While a pretty innocent note at the time, the situation has changed concerning the public's perception of Saville, and it's currently difficult to read this without immediately reaching certain (potentially libellous) conclusions. Given current circumstances, is this line even noteworthy enough to deserve a place on Wikipedia given that the phrase is no-longer as innocent sounding as it once was. I believe the note should be removed or re-worded in some way, at least until the police investigation into Saville's activities has concluded, on the grounds of taste and fairness to Mr Hayes.

This line has returned with the words "close friend" dropped, but still absolutely no source, and per WP:BLP: "Contentious material about living persons (or recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." - we should not imply that Hayes was invited to but unable to attend Savile's funeral unless we have a reliable source that states this.

I've cut it pending a source. --McGeddon (talk) 17:27, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
