[edit] Centre-right

Whether the liberal party is truly the 'best-fitted' centre-right party or not (compared to the DAB) is a judgement call - isn't it a POV? Also, referring to your article comments, how can the HK Liberal Party be changing the CCP politically? It's simply not feasible, realistic or true. Jsw663 17:44, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

The CCP is reinventing itself, and has been since Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms. I never said the liberal party was changing the CCP. All I'm saying is that due to the ideological transition the CCP going through, they are much more willing to accept a party like the LP as long as they do not oppose their rule in the mainland. The CCP of the Maoist days would never tolerate a party like the Liberal Party, because they would consider a party like that a "bourgeois" party. No, stating that the LP is 'best fitted' as centre-right is NOT a judgement call. Their policy consistantly reflects that political spectrum. If you think it's a POV, maybe you should also go edit every political party article in wikipedia where the article classifies a party as "centre-right" or "centre-left". I have inserted that text back into the article. --Candid1982 07:27, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I am objecting most to the phrase 'best-fitted' here, not 'centre-right' (the latter seems to put me in the minority). The phrase 'best-fitted' is opinion, although the description 'centre-right' may not be. If you disagree on this point - and this is different to the previous disagreement - then perhaps we need an third-party arbitrator. Jsw663 10:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I think removing the phrase 'best fitted' is a good compromise. I do see your point on how that phrase can make it look like a POV statement.--Candid1982 07:16, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Lplogo.gif

Image:Lplogo.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 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 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.
