Fair use rationale for Image:Kaidoh.jpg
editImage:Kaidoh.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
Telling the tale
editThis whole article sounds like a personal opinion, no sources cited. It should either be rewritten or erased. WP:NOR Corvato (talk) 16:59, 5 February 2008 (UTC)Corvato
- Wikipedia consensus has long held that for a basic plot summary of what happens in a work of fiction/art, the work itself can be considered a reliable sourse... however, for any interpetation or analysis of that plot we need other independant reliable sources. The "Telling the tale" section is essentially an analysis. Thus, it does need sources to back it's claims. Without such sources it amounts to OR. Since the material is not all that controvercial, I think we should give people a chance to rewrite the section and/or include these needed sources before we opt to delete. I would recommend giving it a few months. If no sources are provided by then, we can revisit the issue. Blueboar (talk) 21:54, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- I have moved the section to the talk page until it can be adequately sourced. This is to avoid all appearances of original research. --Farix (Talk) 02:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Telling the tale (section)
editThe story of Kai Doh Maru, or Kentoki, is a bit hard to follow—in English, at least. Much of the actual plot is often confirmed only by reading the preview, descriptions, or reviews of the movie. The viewer is often left to assume the outcome of certain events, some more obvious than others.[citation needed]
Ohni Hime, Kentoki's cousin, is perhaps the actual driving character in the movie. While the story of Kai Doh Maru states that Ohni is under a spell by an Ogre, the movie reveals slightly more than a very sedated acting princess accompanied by a young evil swordsman.
A soft pastel theme is used throughout most of the feature, picked for its prevalence in Heian-era art. Bolder colors appear on occasion, standing out from the softer palette, providing a powerful contrast and emphasis. Special attention was paid to the coloring, using entire themes to present different ideas or emotions throughout the movie.
Many images of the temples and cities, and a few less integral objects such as statues or ox-carts, are CG artwork, or 3D models, allowing for a strict adherence to proper physical proportions and construction, into which the characters are seamlessly animated.
Rewrite
editI have rewritten the "story" section of this article due to its confused nature and frequent misunderstandings, which I think are attributable to the poor quality of the English translation/subtitles. The rewrite also adds proper references and internal links to related pages. --Rakuyou (talk) 14:35, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
