[edit] Should Basque-Latin Americans be labeled as Basque-Americans?
I notice that Cuban talk show host Cristina Saralegui was labeled as a Basque-American? In my opinion, a Basque-American is a person of Basque descent who's family came to America directly from the Basque Country, not from Latin America. I see Cristina Saralegui as a Cuban-American than Basque-American because her Grandparents(or Great-Grandparents) immigrated to Cuba than the United States. I think she, Carlos Alazraqui, Fernando Bengoechea, Hector Elizondo, and Robert Goizueta should be removed. I also believe these people are more likely to see themselves as Hispanic-Americans than Basque-Americans. Majority of Basque-Americans see themselves as White than Hispanic. If they are labeled as Basque-Americans, that means Tiago Splitter, a German-Brazilian basketball player, should be labeled as a German-American and Pablo Mastroeni, an Italian-Argentine soccer player, should be labeled as an Italian-American.

[edit] "Amerikanuak"
The introductory statement reads: Basque-Americans, or (Amerikanuak) in Basque.... Apart of the parenthesis that should be "" or rather italic type, I am of the understanding that the term Amerikanuak applies to all Basques that migrated to America-continent: the Americas, as it's usually called in English, including those who returned to the Basque Country. I.e. someone who migrated to Cuba or Argentina would also be an amerikanu, including those that returned, often rich, to the motherland.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong in this but, otherwise, the name should be dealt with somewhere in the article. --Sugaar (talk) 15:05, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NABO Logo Color.jpg
Image:NABO Logo Color.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.
