There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |

Description
This template facilitates creating a fair use media rationale with the necessary components.
Note that fair use images also require pointing out the source and author, which can be easily done with Template:Information.
Syntax
{{Fair use | username = <!-- Your user name --> | title = <!-- The title of the article you want to use the image --> | deceased = <!-- Enter "yes" if the image is a person and they are deceased. Adds, "The subject of the photograph is deceased, therefore a "new" image can not be created of this person." --> | low resolution = <!-- Enter "yes" if the image is of low resolution --> | other = <!-- Add more information to help justify the images FAIR USE --> }}
Example
{{Fair use | username = SusanG | title = User:SusanG | deceased = | low resolution = yes | other = * The screenshot does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the book in any way. * The screenshot is related to, and is intended to represent, the Story of SusanG's boring life. Its inclusion in the article is important because it represents a significant point in the person's career that is overviewed in the article. Additionally, the image helps to illustrate the circumstances surrounding the incident. * The screenshot is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original book in any way. }}
