The one thing Jack did in the film that he should have known was not "kindhearted" was having Santa kiddnapped. Granted, he didn't mean for Santa to be tortured, and he did put himself in harm's way to save him later, but still, do you think his willingness to do something wrong to get what he wants should be mentioned under the "personality" section?

: Considering his intent, I don't think that the kidnapping disqualifies the kindhearted part of the description. He greets Santa Claus with open arms and makes specific note to make sure that Santa was comfortable as he was detained (though the kids completely ignored that). By all indications, Skellington thought Santa would appreciate the break and he treated the entire affair like it was a surprise party. The actions could hardly be described as malevolent. Even calling them selfish would be rather iffy, as his interaction with Santa indicated an "everybody wins" mindset. I'd say that at best he could be described as misguided or overeager, both of which are already fairly well represented in the article as a whole [[Special:Contributions/141.166.234.196|141.166.234.196]] ([[User talk:141.166.234.196|talk]]) 03:42, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Zerodog.JPG

Image:Zerodog.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 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.

Two links were deleted - one to a blog and another to a page with a Jack Skellington pumpkin carving. Per Wikipedia's "Links to Avoid" list, the first link was a blog - an external link generally discouraged by Wikipedia for inclusion. The second link contributed nothing to the subject of Jack Skellington. Further investigation of the external link found that the host site was a for-profit product page that sold software enabling customers to carve pumpkin images.
