Fair use rationale for Image:Gregmorris.jpg

Image:Gregmorris.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

I've added a fair use rationale to this image specific to this article. - Dravecky 21:45, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Dick Van Dyke Show

I've seen two episodes with Greg Morris. The first is a mind blower, along the lines of the surgeon (who is not the patient's father) who says, "I can't operate on him; he's my son!" (hinging on the preconception that a surgeon must be male):

• Rob Petrie (a white man, like all other characters in the series up to this point) becomes convinced that the inept hospital staff have switched his baby with that of another couple having a similar last name. Even over the phone, they can't settle it. Finally, the other couple visits the Petrie home and we see that they are Negro (black). The audience laughs because we all assumed the baby was switched with another (white) couple. No such mix-up could occur with a black couple; both mommies would notice the different skin color.
• In another episode, Morris has a bigger role. He's the co-writer (with Rob) of a hit song, for which someone else is trying to take credit. --Uncle Ed (talk) 18:38, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

It says that Morris died of lung cancer. Did he smoke cigarettes?
