Release date?[edit]

Why 2003 is indicated as the film release date? My research shows that it is first released in either in 1990 (according to amazon.co.uk and to one eBay seller) or in 1991 (according to amazon.com). IMDB indicates 1994 for some reason. Both UK and US editions of Amazon indicate Feb 3 2004 as the DVD release date. --BeautifulFlying (talk) 22:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The DVD came out in 2003. The DVD has significant extras that, to my knowledge, did not appear on, e.g., VHS releases. However, in light of the dates you provide and the fact that I first saw the VHS in 1996, I find it ridiculous that this says "2003". I say we should go by the copyright date given in the on-screen visuals in the closing credits of the main documentary. — President Lethe (talk) 04:39, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All available sources point that VHS version was released on Nov 13 1991, as well as that DVD was released on Feb 3 2004. Don't know what 2003 is about, but my guess is that's when the copyright was legally registered before the official release. Many Laserdisk editions currently auctioned are marked as released in 1990, but, similarly, that might be the copyright date, not the release date. Alas, no official info on the LD release date :(. --BeautifulFlying (talk) 23:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:First US Visit.jpg[edit]

Image:First US Visit.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.
