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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Phantomunmasking.jpg

message: "Chaney pulled his eyeballs out from their sockets with thin wires, so that his eyes appeared to bulge out and their sockets became very deep." How exactly do you pull your eyeballs out from their sockets with thin wires? Emanresu27 (talk) 21:52, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that Chaney ran a wire around his head just beneath (or maybe just above) his eyeballs, and tightened it to make them bulge, disguising the wire with makeup.  It would seem that this might have the intended effect, but I really don't like to think about it for very long. WHPratt (talk) 20:07, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Make-Up

message: Universal Pictures never intended to tear down the soundstage containing the opera house. instead it was used in many other movies, for example in dracula or in the remake of the phantom in 1943.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.180.67.83 (talk) 13:14, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Citation 

message: I cannot recall the source , perhaps "Famous Monsters of Filmland" magazine , but , the "stage hand" , whom goes into great detail about "The Phantom"'s physical appearance - frightening the chorus girls - is said to be Lon Chaney. I watched the scene several times , and the performer does bare more than a passing resemblance. ( It would've also made for a great in-joke to have him describing his own make-up! ) 75.104.163.77 (talk) 18:40, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
