Fair use for Steve Irwin[edit]

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

1. it is a photo of a notable campaign of a famous individual;
2. it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality)
3. the photo is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article and his character depiction is an important component of understanding his popularity and other reactions that his character inspired. pfctdayelise (translate?) 10:25, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
