[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Cherwell wk3 ht07.PNG

Image:Cherwell wk3 ht07.PNG 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.

[edit] Lists of past editors

I've removed these lists as unencylopedic; whilst I hate to bash people around the head with policy, they violate WP:NOR and WP:SOURCE due to lack of sources or anything establishing the notability of the persons listed, WP:INDISCRIMINATE per What Wikipedia Is Not, and WP:COI given that it seems to be a vanity list.

The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth — meaning, in this context, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or the material may be removed.

The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation.

from Wikipedia:Verifiability

Per this policy, I have removed the list. However, even if the list were well sourced it would probably not be encylopedic given the other issues noted above, which should also be addressed before restoration. --129.67.162.133 (talk) 08:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
