Fair use rationale for Image:Children'sHour.jpg

Image:Children'sHour.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 20:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reception Section

Why is that long paragraph criticizing the film not balanced by a long paragraph of critics who liked/admired it? Seems a little off. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.110.224.43 (talk) 23:32, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The confession

"When Martha learns about the break-up, she confesses she always had felt more than friendship for Karen and, upon hearing the false accusation, she finally realized she loves her."

Okay, this is a little too timid. Martha doesn't just realize she loves Karen, she completely breaks down, dissolving in the most heartbreaking case of self-loathing I've ever seen on screen. Wouldn't some stronger wording be in order? Martha says:

"I feel so damned sick and dirty I can't stand myself!"

A whole generation of gays and lesbians saw this film and understood what she was talking about. Doesn't it merit mentioning here? Jfulbright (talk) 20:35, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
