message: :Image:Operation crossbow53.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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Operation crossbow53.jpg

message: "Sure enough, he is arrested, but released after being blackmailed into becoming an informer."
I just watched this film last night and I could have sworn they blackmailed him into becoming an engineer for the Third Reich (they were desperate for engineers, right?), not an informer.  Did I hear that wrong?  --ScreaminEagle (talk) 17:53, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. He was freed because he "promised to do his duty" in reporting any disloyal engineers in his new job as an engineer, which he already had. David Spector (talk) 16:34, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blackmail 

message: I have rewritten this section. It was not written as a statement of fact, but as a not too subtly disguised campaign to get the film released on DVD in the United Kingdom. AlbertSM (talk) 20:45, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you know anyone in the UK with a DVD player that will only play Region 2 DVDs? The vast, vast majority of them can play DVDs from any region so why not just buy the DVD from abroad like I did? Put the make & model of your DVD player into Google along with a term like "region free" and you'll probably find out how to make it play DVDs from any region. If perchance you do have one of the few DVD players that can't play DVDs from any region then you can play it in your computer. As long as you play it with a player like the VLC player that ignores region codes and not the Micro$oft media player which locks you in to one region. That's just the programme doing that, your DVD player can still play DVDs from any region. All this region coding is of dubious legality anyway. It's a restraint on free trade and all the countries involved have signed up to various free trade agreements -- SteveCrook (talk) 01:50, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

message: As I had just finished watching the film, I thought I would look it up on Wikipedia only to find this very crudely cribbed article. Instead of scrapping the whole thing, I will attempt to make some changes. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 04:18, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Badly cribbed from the IMDb site

message: After some back-and-forth on which is the suitable image, I reverted back to one that is the most representative of the artwork employed and includes a "tag-line from the movie", as I felt the earlier image was a a poor image encompassing a lot of blank or dead space, and being washed out, as well.  Comments. FWiW, how about this version as a compromise, still the same artist, just a different version. Bzuk (talk) 14:51, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:NFCC #9 says, "Non-free content is allowed only in articles (not disambiguation pages), and only in article namespace", and this does not qualify to any exceptions. It's not something with any wiggle room; someone else would be coming here to make sure a copyrighted image does not display in this non-mainspace. I would recommend copying both poster images into MS Paint and uploading it to Imgur and providing the link here. Erik (talk | contribs) 17:48, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
