Talk:List of Beast Wars and Beast Machines characters

message: :Image:Waspinator.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Waspinator.jpg

message: I have removed the fair-use images on this page per non-free content guideline: "images on a list normally [do] not significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic," and the display of a fair-use image is permissible "only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic." These images are fine appearing on these characters' individual pages, but here they are decorative. This is also in keeping with the RfC at Talk:List of Beast Machines characters. --EEMeltonIV 22:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removal of fair-use images 

message: Nearly the entirety of this list in its previous form was plot summary with very little real-world context or information. Given that this is a List of..., I removed the text (some of it word-for-word from the individual characters' pages) but left links to the various character articles, where hopefully more real-world information is provided. Please see WP:WAF. --EEMeltonIV 22:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Trimming

message: The image :Image:Csairazor.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here.  In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page.  Please check
:* That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
:* That this article is linked to from the image description page.
The following images also have this problem:

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Csairazor.jpg

message: This article has way too many non-free images; per WP:NFC, even five images would be pushing the limits. Since I am unfamiliar with this show, I urge other editors to remove the images of the characters who are not as important (leaving no more than five); otherwise, I'll remove all but one (which should later be replaced by a group shot) in about one or two weeks. – sgeureka t•c 07:49, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of the images in this article are also found on the pages of their individual characters. With the exception of Optimus Prime's image (not sure what to do with that), I'd suggest removing all the images from this article, and placing those that aren't in their character pages on those pages. --Thunderbird8 (talk) 15:35, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
