thread_title: Removing word

message: Recnetly, an issue came up concerning the external links.  Apparantly, the following pages weren't considered reliable sources mostly as they're pretty much fan sites.  The links involved were:
* Spook Central: The Ghostbusters Companion 
* Ghostbusters Prop Archive
* Ghostbusters.net
* Proton Charging - Ghostbusters news and information
* Ghostbusters Headquarters
Spook Central: The home of a lot of in depth information and behind the scenes photographs of both films.  Material which can't be found elsewhere.  I'd consider this site worth keeping within the external links as it provides behind the scenes material not available to a site kept in such high regard such as IMDb.
GBProps: I suppose the worth of this one is up for debate... however it (and the not mentioned www.gbpropject.com) provide information for replicating the props from the movie, and for where to find reference material.  An item surely to come in handy with people with Halloween approaching.
Ghostbusters.net: Sadly part of it's draw... the online episodes has thus since been removed.  But it was never about drawing traffic to the site.  Ghostbusters.net is one of the oldest fan forums around, one of the main fan forums around which... under rhe rulw "Links to be used occasionally: 3. On articles about topics with many fansites, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate, marking the link as such."
This effectively justifies the inclusion of at least one major fansite.
Proton Charging: A manjor GB news outlet which has helped to break down the recent rumours where people believed Ghostbusters 3 was being made.  The site also contains interviews with people involved with the films, cartoons and other materials which are not a part of the Wiki article.
Ghostbusters HQ: Similar to Ghostbusters.net in regard, it is a major fan site which contains a number of interviews and media for the cartoons and films.
I can understand the reasoning to keep the external links clean and controlled, and to vet some of the entries which get put in as some are only out there for the visitor numbers.
If you feel the links should once again be removed, please consult this section and add to the discussion before removing them again.Kingpin1055 22:22, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

message: As part of a general clean-up effort, I've removed the uncited criticism section and placed it here in case proper citations can be found and it can be restored to main page. The original text is below. Annie D 00:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Some Ghostbusters fans often criticize the show for its new graphic style and also for abruptly replacing the original Ghostbusters with a new team. Other detractors of Extreme Ghostbusters have criticized the show for "pushing political correctness" due to how diverse the new team members (a black person, a latino person, a female, and a disabled person) were. It was also heavily criticized for being somewhat graphic and "too dark" for a show aimed at a young audience.
No citation for that?  I remember thinking the tokenism was a little ham-fisted when watching the show.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.156.70.57 (talk) 21:47, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

message: :Image:ExtremeGhostbusters.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:ExtremeGhostbusters.jpg

message: Everything familiar to the previous series needed to be retooled design-wise as the character likenesses were owned by Columbia Pictures Television. That meant a new Ecto-1, different looks for Egon, Slimer, Janine and the Firehouse, along with all-new background layouts consistent through Sony cartoons at the time.
This whole production section doesn't make sense. According the Columbia Pictures Television article , the company became a Sony company in 1989. As a result, Sony would have owned the copyrighted characters of this show and should have had no problem in re-using the character designs. --Jtalledo (talk) 01:00, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure where this was, but it doesn't seem to be based on any sort of fact.  I do like the comment currently in the article, that the show changed character designs to demonstrate passage of time.  Hewinsj (talk) 14:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I inserted :Image:Two Generations of Ghostbusters.png, a screenshot taken from an AVI recording of the program, to give some idea of what the original Ghostbusters look like in this years-later time period (showing how they've aged).  The episode mentioned in the text is apparently considered notable, hence the matching image.  The image was un-linked from the article, claiming it was "unnecessary" and contained an "unsourced claim".  Wikipedia's non-free guidelines seem to suggest that this use of this non-free image is valid, so I would appreciate an explanation.  Vanessaezekowitz (talk) 02:41, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: An unsourced statement claiming the episode was notable (when it in all likely was not) does not validate adding the image. Nor is it necessary to show what the "original" Ghostbusters looked like for readers to understand that they have aged. Non-Free images are to be used sparingly, and beyond the one infobox image, must be supported by sourced, critical commentary showing that the scene itself is notable enough for fair use to apply. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 02:52, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
