Fair use rationale for Image:DeathWishV.jpg

Image:DeathWishV.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 00:27, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting Plot Synopsis: suspected copyright violation

I am deleting the plot synopsis added by User:Pinots on May 12, 2007, because it appears to be plagiarized from the tvguide.com review of Death Wish V [1]. If you have information that this is not a copyright violation, please revert. Baileypalblue (talk) 08:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious

I have marked as dubious the uncited claims that the main reason for the film's failure in the video market was the 1994 earthquake. I can think of two obvious rebuttals: (1) 95% of the US population was unaffected by the quake; (2) more likely it flopped simply because the film was very poorly received. Adpete (talk) 02:01, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's a bit of history to this claim. Previously the article stated that the film's performance was negatively affected by the earthquake, but not that it was the main reason for its failure, and this claim was cited to the Talbot book. An editor removed that claim, and the citation, in March 2021. Searching for "earthquake" in the Talbot book on Google Books produced no relevant results, but maybe another editor should take a look at this. Martin IIIa (talk) 22:58, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
