Fair use rationale for Image:Waldo Astounding SF Aug 1942.jpg

Image:Waldo Astounding SF Aug 1942.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.

Image copyright problem with Image:Wami94.jpg

The image Image:Wami94.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

"Waldo" as Slang Term

Can anyone please site the slang use of "waldo" aas coming from this story? 24.160.242.185 (talk) 16:30, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On page 39-40 of Stephen Baxter's Manifold Time, it says "we have a number of Waldo-driven instruments" and I was wondering if this is where it came from. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.234.71 (talk) 08:44, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

missing description of health issues

A major sub-plot of the story was that broadcast power was causing wide-spread health problems similar in symptoms to Waldo's own, and the solution of the technical problems of broadcast power solved both the health issues it caused in society, as well as eliminating Waldo's own health issues. Why was this left out of the plot summary? Sparaig2 (talk) 19:47, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
