Fair use rationale for Image:Pale cocoon.jpg

Image:Pale cocoon.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 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 05:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

The plot summary seems to be a bit erroneous to me. They're not above Earth's surface, for starters, they're on the moon (they even say as much when speaking of how they came from the Sea). And what's with the conclusion? Why not just say he finds a record which when restored claims that living on the Moon was just an expedient until it recovers, and then he goes and verifies that yup, the Earth looks pretty recovered & we can go back now. --Gwern (contribs) 12:18 28 June 2008 (GMT)

Well, from what I saw, I think it's like this: It's implied they're below the now-ruined earth for most of the OVA, but in the end, they suddenly find out that they're actually on the moon and the earth is still fine. They never mentioned they're on the moon, and in fact referred to the beautiful world of the archives as 'above here'. VDZ (talk) 21:01, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you're on the bright side of the moon, then often the Earth would be 'above here'. The Apollo astronauts looked up to the Earth because obviously if they looked down they'd only see lunar dirt. --Gwern (contribs) 01:54 4 April 2010 (GMT)

I have to agree with VDZ here - all the time, it seems like the archive is on earth. While it might not be a "shocking" revelation to the protagonists, who probably know this, it is one to the audience. 178.1.50.31 (talk) 21:24, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
