Fair use rationale for Image:Runaround1931P.jpg

[edit]

Image:Runaround1931P.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit]

The image Image:RioRita1929.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
  • That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Sources for release dates

[edit]

Hi. Another editor, Koala15, thinks that it is less than desirable to state the source for the release dates in this list. Because some of them come from less reliable sources than others, I felt it was important for someone glancing at the article to know exactly where the date came from, without having to look it up themselves in another source. Rather than get into an edit war, I'm asking others who have contributed to the page to chime in with their comments. Be happy to follow the consensus. Other editors (and by no mean all, just the first several I saw: Welsh, FilmandTVFan28, Dewritech, BD2412, Topbanana. I only went back a couple of months, sorry if I left anyone out.Onel5969 (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is pretty much always useful to state the source from which a bit of information in a Wikipedia article comes. Where a particular fact is in question it is generally better to state all positions on the matter, taking extra care to provide sources for each. If no reliable source exists to back up a given fact, it may not belong in an article at all. - TB (talk) 07:55, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in List of RKO Pictures films

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of RKO Pictures films's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "S&S":

  • From List of films considered the best: "Sight & Sound – Top ten". Retrieved 2010-08-18.
  • From Citizen Kane: "Sight & Sound – Top ten". Sight & Sound. Retrieved August 18, 2010. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:30, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Highlighted release dates

[edit]

This is an awesome article, but can anyone explain (here or, even better, within the text) what the asterisks (*) behind some of the release dates mean? I looked but couldn't find an explanation for this anywhere on the page... or did I miss it? Desdenova (talk) 00:21, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I just found the explanation at the very top of the article. It might be a good idea to move this to a more traditional spot, as readers will typically look for the explanation at the bottom of a table and not the very beginning of an article encompassing multiple tables. Just a thought. Desdenova (talk) 00:24, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
