Fair use rationale for Image:1969film.png

Image:1969film.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 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.

Outset?

The Plot section currently begins with this sentence: "In 1969, two best friends, Ralph Karr (Robert Downey Jr.) and Scott Denny (Kiefer Sutherland) live in a stuffy, upper-middle class suburban town in Maryland at the outset of the Vietnam War, and are both in college."

"Outset" means "beginning". In 1969, the Vietnam War had been going on for a decade. In fact, the Tet Offensive was already a year in the past. Describing 1969 as the outset of the war makes no sense.--Pat Berry (talk) 18:17, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've corrected the problem as part of a copy edit of that section.--Pat Berry (talk) 04:04, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
