Fair use rationale for Image:The Pink Mirror.jpg

Image:The Pink Mirror.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

LGBT?

Nowhere in this article does it state that Rangayan is gay. There are no references to support that claim. So why is he in the Category:LGBT directors? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 21:41, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rangayan is gay -- all trustees of [The Humsafar Trust www.humsafar.org] are self-identified gay men. I speak as one of the trustees and someone who knows Rangayan.--Nitinkarani (talk) 10:50, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You may know Rangayan, which is great, but Wikipedia needs verifiability. I have not been able to find any sources that state Rangayan's sexuality. Per WP:BLP, until and unless there are, he cannot be labeled or categorized as such. Let me know if you can find a reliable source for this? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 01:02, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rangayan is gay filmmaker and gay activist. You can check articles: http://www.melonfarmers.co.uk/thread00331_gay_freedom_in_india.htm#A_Kick_up_the_A_4483 , http://issuu.com/gaylaxy/docs/gaylaxy_april_issue (pg 17)

Image copyright problem with Image:Yours Emotionally.jpg

The image Image:Yours Emotionally.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.
