Fair use rationale for Image:Boyshorts2.jpg

Image:Boyshorts2.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.

Boxers or briefs?

In the article in mentions the similarity in appearance between boyshorts and men's shorts, but doesn't state whether the "men's shorts" mentioned are boxers or briefs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parmadil (talk • contribs) 01:48, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Multiple Issues

This article has multiple issues, so I've tagged it.

• Needs sections.
• No refs or citations.
• History omits mention of hot pants, although there is an obvious connection with booty-shorts as outerwear.
• No pictures.
• Lumps boyshort briefs together with booty-shorts outerwear, which are similar looking, but a different garment.
• Contradiction: They cannot be as described, and also be thongback lingerie.

I'll make a start at tackling these. Centrepull (talk) 08:53, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Location of article

Why does the article appear at Boyshorts when Boy shorts is more commonly used? The intro even starts "Boy shorts ...." The article should be moved to Boy shorts! 67.40.215.107 (talk) 19:43, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
