Fair use rationale for Image:War04.jpg

Image:War04.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Article improvement

I have been discussing with Warrick Sony in email how best to improve this article. Here are some questions; do we need separate articles here and at Warrick Sony, or could the two be merged? Are there free photos we could use to improve the article? Are there more high-quality sources we could use? --John (talk) 10:03, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After having a look at the sources I am inclined to have it at Warrick Sony (465,000 Ghits) and have Kalahari Surfers (166,000) as a redirect. --John (talk) 13:27, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Musician Warrick Sony of the Kalahari Surfers (Interview 1998) argued that: I didn't really support the whole idea of a cultural boycott... I supported the sports boycott because I think that hurt, but ... I think of how much I've learnt from listening to records. For people like Billy Bragg not to have had their records available in South Africa is ridiculous. It is. He's not a huge seller but his ideas needed to come here.

New article

~~I'm working on a new article at User:John/Warrick Sony if anyone's interested. --John (talk) 19:41, 9 February 2013 (UTC)~~[reply]

That's done and the new article is in place at Warrick Sony. I have redirected this article to there as well, having merged material from here to there. --John (talk) 21:19, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
