Fair use rationale for Image:Showcase4.JPG

Image:Showcase4.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.

Is WTZ-Zone reliable under WP:IRS?

The source that is currently cited in the article for this passage:

After consulting with screenwriter Mario Puzo on the plots of both Superman: The Movie and Superman II...[1]

...seems questionable. The citation, which was added two days ago by editor DoctorSivana, is described as an interview between Infantino and someone named "Bryan Stroud". However, there is no explicit evidence on that webpage of anyone by that name, merely a signature at the bottom of someone whose initials are B.D.S. Where does the name Bryan Stroud come from?

Going to the main page of that website, WTZ-ZONE, reveals that the site not owned or operated by any journalist or writer that I've heard of, nor by anyone named Bryan Stroud, but a husband and wife named Larry and Kari Bumeder who are described on the main page and on the Who Are We? page a being experts in computers, customer service, with an interest in Web television.

Unless reliability of that site can be established, it should not be kept in the article. Nightscream (talk) 00:36, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

WTV-Zone is evidently a web hosting company aimed at WebTV users (huh, what — those folks still exist?!), and is indeed owned and operated by the married couple you mentioned. I do not believe they have anything to do whatsoever with Bryan Stroud or his long list of comics-related interviews. His name can be found on his Silver Age Sage homepage, where he has indexed all of his interviews with well-known comic book creators. Though I certainly can't vouch for him personally, I have read his interviews over the years and I did just notice that if you Google "bryan stroud silver age," you'll see several other Wikipedia entries that cite his interviews.

However, in researching this reply to you, I did find a passage that essentially mirrors Mr. Infantino's response to Mr. Stroud. It's from page 125 of the previously-cited book "Carmine Infantino: Penciler, Publisher, Provocateur". Should we just go with that instead? --DoctorSivana (talk) 03:21, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Are you Bryan Stroud? Nightscream (talk) 06:01, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

No, and as I mentioned previously, I can't vouch for him personally. I just happened to have bookmarked his "Silver Age Sage" interview page quite some time back while doing research on "Superman: The Movie," and that was the first place I recalled seeing Mr. Infantino ever comment on his actual involvement with the film. That led me to clarify the unattributed sentence that was already on Wikipedia and provide the initial citation. DoctorSivana (talk) 07:31, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Bryan Stroud is a recognized writer on comics for his contributions to Alter Ego magazine. Self-published sites are allowable under Wikipedia guidelines if the author is a published, recognized writer in a given field. His name and credit appears at this page: "© 2000-2013 by Bryan D. Stroud. This feature was created on 05/01/00 and is maintained by Bryan D. Stroud." --Tenebrae (talk) 09:26, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification, Tenebrae. I'll change the citation in question to reflect his sole authorship and remove mention of WTV-Zone since they're just the host of the page. DoctorSivana (talk) 09:36, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

The reason I asked is because the WTZ-Zone interview only said "B.D.S." at the bottom, so I wondered where you got the full name from, since that webpage didn't mention it, and also because after I brought up the point here, I noticed that it was changed from "B.D.S." to "Bryan D. Stroud", which seemed odd to me. Anyway, if he's a recognized industry writer, than it should be okay. Thanks for the clarification. I also added, as an additional cite, the book you mentioned above. Thanks again. :-) Nightscream (talk) 18:54, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Name

Is he /ˈkɑːrmɪn/ or /ˈkɑːrmaɪn/? 93.180.54.66 (talk) 13:57, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

did he draw really BATMAN?

I thought he drew Detective Comics. I mean for the very first time he drew Detective Comics #327 "The Mystery of the Menacing Mask" (Cover Date: May 1964) and also the cover he did. What made he for Batman #165?? But I could be wrong with my old brain......89.0.3.222 (talk) 17:11, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
