Fair use rationale for Image:TheLakeHouse.jpg

Image:TheLakeHouse.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 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.

Egg Laying Mammals and Breasts

Under "Differences" it says "In When the Wind Blows and The Lake House, Max in oviparous, meaning her children will be born in eggs, therefore, Max did not have breasts". There are egg laying Mammals i.e. Monotremes. There is nothing about egg laying that prevents an animal from lactating. Human breasts are mostly ornamental fat deposits, more of an affectation than a biological necessity. If you look at cats, dogs, and horses you don't see great big breasts hanging off them. Monotremes don't even need nipples to produce milk for their young. But I didn't read the book. Did the book actually say that Max doesn't have breasts because she lays eggs, or is that just an opinion? Sheherazahde (talk) 11:51, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
