Fair use rationale for Image:DepartmentS.jpg

[edit]

Image:DepartmentS.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 Wikipedia articles 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.

Description

[edit]

This series in the article is described as British espionage/science fiction. This can not be right, only a couple of stories involved spies and the British secret service and I can not think of any stories that would fall under the science fiction catergory. Detective/Crime/Mystery would be more appropriate...Any comments?REVUpminster (talk) 09:43, 29 January 2009 (UTC) I just noticed espionage/science fiction was used for The Champions, maybe it was used in error on Department SREVUpminster (talk) 19:11, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To further cut costs, the series was produced back-to-back with Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased).

What does that mean exactly? They shared sets and crew? —Tamfang (talk) 23:07, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
