message: :Image:Infpectordumbafs.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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Infpectordumbafs.jpg

message: The article before my last change had contained the sentence
:Doyle used the name (originally pronounced in the French way: l'estrade "less-TRAHD") of an acquaintance from his days at the University of Edinburgh, a St. Lucian whom Doyle disliked.
That threw me on first reading: if Conan Doyle "originally" pronounced it correctly as "less-TRAHD", was the article implying that Doyle's preferred pronunciation had changed over time (perhaps to "less-TRADE")? But I concluded after a while that the article was just trying to say that the Saint Lucian had pronounced his own name that way (and since Doyle's Inspector Lestrade was a character in a printed work, maybe we don't even know how Doyle pronounced the Inspector's name). Still, it's far less confusing to put the "right" pronunciation first in the article, and let the unverified Saint Lucian fend for himself. --Quuxplusone (talk) 22:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There's obviously some confusion, 'cause while I (& many) would say "luh strahd", French-fashion, it's likely at the time, Brits would've said (as Jeremy Brett did on at least one occasion as Holmes) "luh straid". (IMO, it's the more period authentic.) Is there anything authoritative, & citeable, saying which Doyle preferred?  TREKphiler hit me ♠  22:41, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently Basil Rathbone said .  We need some sort of citation before we can go one way or the other in the article; if there's no definitive answer, we should just say that.  garik (talk) 11:07, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In the 2009 Guy Ritchie movie, Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.) pronounced it "Les-TRAHD". (Of course, maybe he had seen the Wikipedia page!) Nuggetkiwi (talk) 19:57, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
