thread_title: Credit for fair use image

message: :Image:Azkadellia-wicked witch-possession-scifi pulse-20071208.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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Azkadellia-wicked witch-possession-scifi pulse-20071208.jpg

message: So much discussion about minor things, how about this? I would like to know who she really is? Can she have been the wicked whitch of the west? Because when they go to the cave they say there was a battle between evil and good and the light prevailed something like that.. could it have been doroty against the which and somehow her spirit survived? Do you guys know anything about this..?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.90.176.166 (talk) 02:06, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The miniseries does not reveal who she "really is". Without such explanation, it's left up to your own interpretation. I suppose it could be the wicked witch of the west, if you really want it to be, and I think that's the general idea that the writers meant to imply. But again, it's a matter of how you choose to interpret it. That said, please remember that article talk pages are not general discussion forums; they are for discussing improvements to the article only. --IllaZilla (talk) 06:10, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Who is "the evil whitch of the dark???"

message: I question the statement that Azkadellia intended to use the Emerald to consolidate her rule. My impression was that she simply wanted to destroy the OZ which she would have done had she succeeded in her mad plan to blot out the suns as it would do away with photosynthesis, not to mention warmth and light. The Mystic Man himself states that the purpose of the Anti Sun Seeder is 'the complete destruction of the OZ.' --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 00:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm...I don't recall the Mystic Man saying that, but it's been a while since I last watched it. These are Banazir's words, so maybe you should ask him what he meant by it. My impression was that covering the O.Z. in darkness would increase her magical powers (since she's posessed by the "Evil Witch of the Dark"...I assume the witch's powers are in some way related to darnkess; there's a whole "light vs. dark" thing going on throughout the story). I'm relatively certain that "do[ing] away with photosynthesis" wasn't her main goal, though of course scientifically speaking that would have been one of the effects of a permanent eclipse. I mean, what would she have had to gain by completely destroying the O.Z.? Then she wouldn't be the ruler of anything. I think the idea was that permanent darkness would banish the "light", leaving the witch the supreme power, thus "consolidating her rule" because she doesn't at the moment have complete control over the O.Z. (ie. the Eastern Guild who still oppose her, & the various other forces & locales not under her control). --IllaZilla (talk) 01:04, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's what I thought at first. With regards to the destruction of the OZ, my impression was that Azkadellia was insane, therefore there probably wouldn't be much logic to her actions. After all Morgoth from The Silmarillion ultimately wanted to destroy every creature in Arda despite the fact that he didn't have much to gain from it. Nevertheless your theory is probably more likely than mine, I just wanted to make sure the article was accurate. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 12:12, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
