Fair use rationale for Image:C1a0d0001.jpg

Image:C1a0d0001.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.

Cassarole?

Is it really a cassarole? In source, when you overdrive the microwave, a small shrimp hand comes out of the bowl. Can this be that in Source that they changed it from a cassarole to a shrimp? --RobertLeBlais 19:46, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the original HL when I played it you could see a pot rotating inside the microwave and if you pressed the button enough times some gib would spawn. Could have been anything in the pot but as it turns out it was a casserole. I haven't played HL:Source though so I don't know how the scene was depicted in that. --Meridius 23:06, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"A Kleiner model" in HL1

The article said that Magnusson's character was 'A Kleiner model'. In fact, both Kleiner and Magnusson were 'Walter' models, and I changed this appropriately. I am not aware it was ever mentioned whch 'Walter' was, in fact, Kleiner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.19.75 (talk) 15:46, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Magnusson wasn't a Walter model, he was an Einstein model. He was the scientist arguing with a Slick model scientist who lets you into the test chamber. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris Mathers 3501 (talk • contribs) 05:08, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Real-life appearance

I'm very troubled. He's so similar with the Belgian politician José Happart!! Were they inspired by his face? I really wonder!!

Norwegian/Swedish

"Arne Magnusson" is a typical name in Norway and Sweden. Like, very typical, it's nearly a joke. Anyone know why they made him Scandinavian? Could it be a stab at anyone in the gaming community? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jens Schriver (talk • contribs) 01:11, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know why that particular name, but the fact that Magnusson is the total opposite to Kleiner may have had something to do with it. "Magnus" is Latin for large or great, and "Klein" is German for small. Coincidence? I think not! (Well OK, maybe :) Deszmond (talk) 03:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish-American

removed the swedsh-american cat. as there are no references for this, even though both arne and magnusson are common swedish names. magnusson is a also a typical icelandic name, and it may be spelled that way for english-speaking people as the icelandic form of arne is arni.
