Fair use rationale for Image:Operationsmagazine.png

Image:Operationsmagazine.png 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.

Absolutely idiotic and unfair application of the fair use nonsense - isn't fair use implied in the case of a magazine cover, used to illustrate an article about the magazine itself? What a thoughtless and stupid use of an automated system to thoroughly trash the hard work of other editors.139.48.25.60 (talk) 15:51, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

The problem is you/they didn't properly create the Fair Use template, it's perfectly fine so long as you know the procedure, look at other magazine articles for the template on how to do it. Green Cardamom (talk) 18:17, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Listcruft. WP:NOTDIRECTORY applies. ("However, Wikipedia is not a directory of everything that exists in the world or has existed.") Information on article contents in Operations are also available on any number of other websites, so I've deleted it as it does not seem terribly encyclopedic.198.161.2.241 (talk) 19:25, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
