Fair use rationale for Image:AntwoneFisher.png

edit
 

Image:AntwoneFisher.png 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.

Not based on a book

edit

The film is not based on the book Finding Fish. The plot is original, written in 1993 and sold to Fox in 1994, and converted into the book in 2001. According to AFI: [...] in 1993, Fisher began taking a screenwriting class taught by Chris Smith. Smith, a screenwriter who would eventually make his debut as a producer with Antwone Fisher, introduced Fisher to his former college roommate, Sony producer Todd Black. Impressed by Fisher’s story, Black and his producing partner, Randa Haines, gave Fisher enough money to quit his security guard job and bought him a computer on which to write his screenplay. After working closely with Black for approximately a year, Fisher was able to sell his screenplay to Twentieth Century Fox in Aug 1994. Fisher later used his screenplay as the basis for an autobiographical book, published in 2001 as Finding Fish: A Memoir.

Category and text should be fixed. I am a Brazilian editor and my English is not that good to do this. Yanguas (talk) 15:42, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
