Fair use rationale for Image:Daddys Roommate.gif

Image:Daddys Roommate.gif 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages 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.

Proposed Revisions to Article

-I will create a new section titled “Summary” to detail the plot of the book

-I will create a new section titled “Genre” to address the form and style of the book, as well as how it compares to Willhoite’s other works

-I will change “Response” to “Reception”. I will then break this portion into two subsections, one for reception for the book itself, and one for the controversy and political debate surrounding the book

-I will create a new section titled “Analysis” that acknowledges the key themes portrayed in the book, citing scholarly articles and reviews for Daddy’s Roommate

-I will create a new section titled “Publication” to acknowledge Alyson Books and how the publisher is known for producing books that address issues of gender identity and sexuality

-I will update the Infobox with any information about the book’s publication that is not already mentioned

-I will add citations to improve the article’s reliability, an important element of Misplaced Pages’s guidelines for quality articles

-I will create a new section title “Other Works” to list Willhoite’s other publications. I will add a picture of the author Michael Willhoite, and I may add a picture of Daddy’s Wedding in the “Other Works” section as well

-I will add content to the lead section to adequately reflect the main ideas of the new information I will be adding

-If I find more information about Willhoite's motivations behind creating the book, I will add a "Background" section in between the lead and summary
