Image vs. Reality

That's a great image provided of Archie Goodwin. Of course, everyone's mental picture may vary. Archie admitted that Orrie Cather had something on him in the looks department, and Archie was no fop or dandy, but as a lady's man he was attractive and knew how to dress.

Fair use rationale for Image:FrameUpArchie.jpg

Image:FrameUpArchie.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 ensure 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.

"partner"

Archie is Wolfe's live-in employee and partner in the private investigation business ...

"Partner" implies an ownership interest. Is there any evidence of that? Though I haven't read the books recently, it seems clear that he's on salary. —Tamfang (talk) 01:46, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reduction in pic size

Having trouble with my keyboard and two revisions were made via misclick on 4/30/11. My intention was to restore the size of the image of Archie after someone had reduced it. I saw, and see, no rationale adduced for the reduction other than an utterly personal preference. Perhaps the editor wishes to provide a more substantive rationale than a snarky "a bit damn large."
