Big Stoop

Yes, I certainly think that the Big Stoop article should be merged here. Some day when I have a lot of time, I would like to add a list of characters to this article.

And, by the way, I'm not at all sure that Big Stoop was a caricature of the Yellow Kid. The only Google references to this are from Wikipedia. BayBoy 02:57, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support, that is, if this character is even notable. --Chris Griswold 08:11, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support, the char is notable (he's in a lot of the strips), but the article is too small to justify itself at the moment. He wasn't a caricature of the Yellow Kid, IIRC, but my reprints are in another state. Time to call home! -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 14:50, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Terryprts.jpeg

Image:Terryprts.jpeg 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.

It's ammended. It seems the bot is triggered when the article isn't correctly wikified in the rationale. MURGH ^disc. 12:14, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Dragonlady.jpg

The image Image:Dragonlady.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

– The comic strip is the primary topic for this title: its pageviews have consistently superseded those of any of its adaptations, barring a brief surge for Terry and the Pirates (serial) in 2020. (See comment below for a direct link to the stats.) The comic strip has also had a lasting reputation as one of the greats in the adventure comic strip genre (the Library of American Comics describes it as "the greatest comic strip of all time", and several of Caniff's original strips are held in the Library of Congress), while the adaptations do not appear to have comparable long-term significance.
