Fair use rationale for Image:Duffysmovie.jpg

Image:Duffysmovie.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 ensure 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.

Facts?

Back when Stan Freberg hosted the syndicated radio nostalgia series When Radio Was, he frequently said (reading copy credited to Anthony Tollin) that Gardner moved Duffy's production to Puerto Rico!!! Of course, they also repeatedly said that Walter Winchell narrated The Fugitive (it was William Conrad), and that the two 1950s British radio series that Orson Welles starred in, The Adventures of Harry Lime (from the film The Third Man) and The Black Museum, were made by a pirate station located in Belgium challenging the BBC's then-monopoly; two different books on Welles, Citizen Welles by Frank Brady and This is Orson Welles, transcripts of conversations between Orson and Peter Bogdanovich, attributed both programmes to the BBC in their respective appendices' very detailed Welles career listings. (Interestingly, the Wiki-articles on these shows do attribute both to an outside producer, with Museum broadcast by Radio Luxembourg (Belgium), its signal covering England but no mention of pirate status, and Lime actually being on the Beeb; I find those two books very difficult to discount.) So I am definitely open to this being wrong. Can anybody confirm (in a manner citable in the article) or refute this reported move to Puerto Rico? --Tbrittreid (talk) 21:33, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Good News of 1940 - Duffy's

FYI - Pre-dating the show itself was the sketch with Archie (Ed Gardner) on "Good News of 1940" airing November 9, 1939. Information at: http://radiogoldindex.com/cgi-local/p2.cgi?ProgramName=Good+News+Of+1940 Hope this helps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.59.203 (talk) 07:31, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Change in licensing for File:Duffyst.jpg

As a result of some research, I found the copyrights for these images were not renewed. Full details can be found on the file. Because of this conversation, am changing the licenses of the images in the NBC Parade of Stars portfolio to public domain-copyright not renewed. We hope (talk) 19:34, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Influence

This section lacks references and essentially has a disclaimer to the lack of proof. "Duffy's Tavern may have inspired a number of TV series set in neighborhood taverns:" One could easily say "may not" which calls into question why an item that may or may not have been inspired by the series is there. Secondly, not all the items in the list that follows is a TV series. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtgelt (talk • contribs) 16:29, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

I also struck *Whether or not they were inspired by the radio show, there are numerous bars across the United States today that call themselves Duffy's Tavern — from Wickford, Rhode Island, to Monterey, California." If we have no idea if the taverns were named for the show, why is it relevant?

The article list seems to have been written from the point of view of someone familiar with the radio show making judgement calls on other appearances of taverns on popular culture. I did not call for citations where the reference is clearly playing off the well known catchphrase from the show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtgelt (talk • contribs) 16:46, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
