[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bnhs-logo.gif

Image:Bnhs-logo.gif 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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 03:21, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox?

I think this article would be improved with an infobox, as per my last revision. Looking back at this revision a week after it was made, I still think it's neater than the current article layout, with all the pertinant information being organized to the right, and the photos pushed to the bottom. This also focusses attention on relevant articles which might need creation eventually (biodiversity research, Hornbill House). As there is a general lack of information on this organisation (apart from its history) at the moment, the infobox also puts all the relevant information into a single location, making it easier for the reader to pick up information about this organisation quickly and easily.

The counter argument is that it only adds to the mess, and that the article would benefit from a general cleanup rather than an infobox, which is only a "band-aid solution".

I don't want to get into an edit war, so I'm not going to make any changes to the article on this issue, but I'm putting this up here to spur discussion (and to ensure that my revision is easily accessible, if anybody wants to copy my infobox). Gaurav (talk) 06:48, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
