Image:Santorum splash.JPG (talk | delete)

Uploaded by JDoorjam (notify | contribs). OR, UE, possibly inappropriate fairuse rationale as the article Santorum (sexual slang) does not document this website. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 22:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. The article does discuss the web site. In fact, there's an entire paragraph dedicated to its use in Google-bombing techniques to popularize the term "santorum". It's completely appropriate in that context, and is only an orphan image because you removed it~~without discussion from the article~~. You also say it may be an inappropriate fairuse rationale, but you don't explain why that would be the case. Clearly it's illustrative of the unsubtle techniques used in the campaign to spread this term. JDoorjam Talk 01:02, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - There is no reason to link to a screenshot of a web-site that is only incidentally mentioned in an article about an act of political protest by Dan Savage. The fair use rationale for web-site screenshots is for "identification and critical commentary". There is no critical commentary of that site in the article; merely a mention of its purpose. There isn't even any discussion of the obviously scandalising intent of the image. The image and the text are certainly not necessary to identify this site as the url satisfies that role. Unless I am very mistaken, there is no WP guideline that says links to external web-sites should be accompanied by images of the web-sites. On a less lawyerly note, the image gives undue prominence to a nn site, which appears to me to be a sympathetic instead of a neutral POV. Finally, a point of fact: I didn't remove the image without discussion. You have already found the comment I left on the article's talk page. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 03:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - My apologies: you are right, you did comment (though I said without discussion. But I suppose that's semantics). Please show me a guideline that says that web sites shouldn't be accompanied by images. I agree that there's more to be said about the image — why not work on expanding those things you just pointed out? There are sources out there discussing the site; help me find good sources to talk about the points you've raised in a neutral, referenced way. JDoorjam Talk 04:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      - The guideline that says web sites shouldn't be accompanied by images is Wikipedia:Fair use criteria. Powers ^T 13:11, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        I can't find the word "web" anywhere on that page, Lt; where exactly do you mean? JDoorj a m Talk 16:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        Fair Use criterion number 8, primarily. The article Santorum (sexual slang) doesn't "contribute significantly to the article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text)" and appears to "serve a purely decorative purpose." Yes, the web site is described in the article, but it's incidental to the subject, and the splash screen doesn't show any useful information. Powers ^T 21:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - a screenshot of the website might be appropriate as fair use ... but this is just artwork from their splash screen. The reason we use a screenshot from a website is in order to identify the website or because the image provides some kind of context for discussing the website. I don't see how this image does either - it's artwork. I would suggest, if you, or other editors of this article, believe that it would be helpful to have a screenshot for identification purposes, that you take an actual screenshot of the main page. BigDT 01:53, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - That is an actual screenshot of the main page. That's all there is on the main page. Look for yourself. I just cut out the IE window. Nowhere does the fair use policy say that screenshots of web sites must contain the browser in which the page was viewed — see the screenshot for the Slashdot article. JDoorjam Talk 03:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - It's a screenshot of the splash screen ... not the main page. This [1] is the main page. If a screenshot were appropriate (which I am persuaded by the above discussion that it is not), this would be the page to use for a screenshot. I can't imagine many circumstances where displaying splash screen artwork would be appropriate. BigDT 10:44, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      - Can you supply quotations of the policies that you're referring to when making these assertions? JDoorj a m Talk 16:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        If you're looking for a policy that says, "don't take a screenshot of a splash screen to use for the artwork and claim that it is a web screenshot", well, for WP:BEANS reasons, you're probably not going to find it. Template:Web-screenshot says that a screenshot of a website can be used for identification and critical commentary. You are not offering commentary on the image and the splash screen doesn't really identify the page. If, 20 years from now, that website no longer exists, seeing its splash screen isn't going to tell me anything about what was on it. Seeing the main page, on the other hand, would. As far as I can tell, the use of this image as opposed to the main page is preferred because it provides artwork to illustrate the ... umm ... substance. That isn't fair use. BigDT 03:30, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The owners of this website would most likely have absolutely no complaints about the image being used in the wikipedia article. Furthermore, the image contains the first known online definition of the word, so it is definately relevant in a historical context.
Keep. That splash screen is the primary vehicle defining the word under discussion. It is the most relevant screenshot from the site to the WP article contents. SchmuckyTheCat 18:56, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not deleted. I'd never heard the term before, and when reading the article that gives a description of the splash page, I found it very helpful to have the image to reference. Given that the splash page may not stay there forever, it seems its use in the encyclopedia is warranted. howch e ng {chat} 18:49, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
