Fair use rationale for Image:Doctor detroit.jpg[edit]

Image:Doctor detroit.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.

Unsourced material[edit]

The following is unsourced information:

The Illinois license plate on Dan Aykroyd's car ("BDR-529"), is the same plate that was on the "Bluesmobile" in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers.

The end of the film promises a sequel, Doctor Detroit II, the Wrath of Mom. It's possible that this was merely a joke, parodying The Wrath of Khan.GEE, YA THINK??

Futurama's villainous "Mom" appears to reference the "Mom" in Doctor Detroit, in that her henchmen are all-clad in grey, double breasted, chauffers uniforms, much like the henchmen in Doctor Detroit.

The film was shot on location in Chicago, including campus scenes in Hyde Park, at the University of Chicago.

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) ^talk 10:14, 6 October 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
