[edit] Year of birth should be 1972?

In all the sources I've come across the birth year is given as 1972. [1] [2] [3] Even the french wikipedia reflects this, so I'm going to correct this if no one objects, eh? jibun_{~~παντα ρει~~} (keskustele!) 21:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Changed per above as it appears that the German WP concurs, too, so to me that seems like a consensus (two out of three). Personally, I think the sources for biographical info of many screen actors are often not of primary, secondary, or even tertiary kind — they're just "general knowledge" which means the info trickles down from entertainment tabloids (interviews etc.) and generally can't be pinned down to a single source unless the actor is well known. And this is compounded by the fact that in Hollywood women actors are in many cases compelled to obfuscate (ie. lie about) their real age for marketing purposes. I digress — this article was started by User:Redreth and in April 2006 he seemed to think that the correct birth year was 1972 but then came along anonymous user User:70.81.84.202 with his/her only contributions to the contrary. So I reverted. —jibun_{≈παντα ρει≈} (keskustele!) 23:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Maximroy.jpg

Image:Maximroy.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.
