It shouldn't say his mother never gives up on him, as she does (albeit breifly) when they go to the zoo when he is a small child. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eujin16 (talkcontribs) 14:18, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Marathon Poster.jpg

Image:Marathon Poster.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 ensure 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.

  • Marathon (2005 film)Marathon (film) — Preemptive disambiguation. No other articles exist for films of that name. — PC78 (talk) 11:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • But there are 5 films named Marathon, and they need to be distinguished, whether or not there are Wikipedia articles about them. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Erm, no they don't, unless you can point me to a guideline that says otherwise. We disambiguate when necessary, not out of habit. PC78 (talk) 23:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Even you agree that disambiguation is necessary here. Given that, it is cheap and appropriate to do so in a way avoid future renaming which is clearly indicated as a possibility by he disambiguation page. Gene Nygaard (talk) 14:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • If we disambiguted everything in this manner, there would be no end to it. Dab pages exist to aid navigation between similary named articles, and this one in its present state serves no such function. PC78 (talk) 15:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm with PC78 here. Pre-disambiguation should be avoided at all costs. ☆ CieloEstrellado 07:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think I found some South Korean sources citing that the title of the movie is Malaton, instead of Marathon. If I can find some verifiable information about the topic, I will load the sources on the talk page if possible. Mydoctor93 (talk) 15:22, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I couldn't exactly find Google hits about Malaton. Also, when I searched some South Korean portals, it turned out that it was just another way of spelling the movie in English. Mydoctor93 (talk) 15:38, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
