message: :Image:Karloovx8.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:Karloovx8.jpg

message: * Some believe that there are variant types of Drekavac (different regions having different breeds).  Consistently though, its size is said to be one meter or more (on four legs), but never less. According to some stories Drekavac can live in packs, in caves and tunnels.
* Generally it is believed that Drekavac can not be killed or pass on until its soul finds its peace (or through baptism).
* In some parts of Serbia and Balkans it is believed that one must first have a dream about Drekavac to actually encounter one. Also Drekavac can strangle people while they are sleeping, if they did something bad to it in life.
* It is believed that when a Drekavac screams all night long someone from the house that heard it will die.
* Also, it is believed that if the shadow of Drekavac falls upon some person that that person will turn sick and die.
* In some places it is believed that Drekavac's cry is due to his long fur, on which it steps often, and then yells in pain.
* It is also believed that the Drekavac is afraid of light to some extent.
* Drekavac likes to move in areas that are covered in fog, according to folk tales.
* While the word "Drekavac" can mean "the yeller" or "the screamer", a more correct meaning is "one that cries while yelling" taken from verb "drečati" (commonly means to cry like a baby). This is due to belief that Drekavac is a soul of an unbaptised child.
The above is unsourced and heavy with weasel words. The last point even contradicts the lead (while reading like OR), and should absolutely be sourced.98.223.96.49 (talk) 07:58, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
