Fair use rationale for images

File:Torchy5.jpg, File:Pussycat-BillWard images.jpg 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.

These images seem to have been taken care of. MURGH ^disc. 00:33, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Propose that the article be moved per the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics) guideline, to fall in line with all the others using (comics). Considering that Bill Ward was not a "caroonist" in the sense that he didn't produce single panel cartoons, but was a comics artist of comics strips and comic books, I feel this article shouldn't be named as it is.

Anyone have strong feelings and good reason why not? MURGH ^disc. 00:33, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's incorrectly named when compared to other similar articles. Move it. -Freak104 (talk) 17:43, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's done. thanks for making up consensus. MURGH ^disc. 00:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And it was moved back again a few years later !

Perhaps (comics artist) would be better ? But there is also Bill Ward (British artist) who worked in some vaguely similar areas. (American artist) ? -- Beardo (talk) 02:29, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Murgh, @Freak104 - though I note that https://www.toonopedia.com/torchy.htm refers to him as cartoonist. -- Beardo (talk) 17:15, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems Toonopedia uses that term for comic book artists even not in the cartoon discipline. I'm no longer up on current naming conventions, but back in the day we tried to homogenize the sorting. Murgh (talk) 00:19, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not to be confused with...

I found this article when looking up Bill Ward for the drummer for Black Sabbath and I think the "Not to be confused with" title should be added to both since I was mistakingly brought here... --Mrmoustache14 (talk) 21:07, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. And there's more than them two. That's why the disambiguation pages William Ward (disambiguation) and Bill Ward (disambiguation), along with Bill Ward (musician). Tally ho! --Tenebrae (talk) 22:40, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Judge Dredd

I wonder if the Judge Dredd story is actually by Bill Ward (British artist) and not this one. The British one had worked for mainsteam British comics earlier in his career. -- Beardo (talk) 02:41, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
