[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ken1.jpg

Image:Ken1.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 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] Should the Irish Kennedys be called a clan?

The clan system doesn't exist in Ireland in the same sense as it does in scotland, although the government recognised a Irish clan charity in 1989, it's more of a retrospective idea. I'm removing the word clan in references to the Irish family unless anyone has an objection. Other articles on other common Irish surnames e.g. McCarthy, O Brien don't use the word clan in their articles at all. Everytime (talk) 15:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I dunno what they should be called - but i think the Irish and Scottish content should be moved to separate pages, atleast. It seems like the article was originally about the Scottish clan, dunno how the Irish stuff crept in.--Celtus (talk) 06:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Ya its more a scottish page with Irish comments as afterthoughts, i mean an image of a man in a kilt has sweet fa to do with the Irish Kennedys, whom by my reckoning are the more numerous of the Kennedys. Everytime (talk) 13:47, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
