I think the nominator is a little too speedy on the delete tag. He should try rewriting the sentences that he thinks are copyrightable instead of slapping on a delete tag. You can't copyright facts, and putting facts in chronological order is not a copyrightable concept either. Copyediting is harder than adding a tag, but more useful. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 06:36, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Thats not the way WP works. You are never supposed to add copied articles onto WP in the first place. Wickethewok 06:39, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

So long as you edit it down to bare non-copywritable facts you can.

  • If you are taking care of it, thats great. Wickethewok 06:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

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

Image:Papd.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. ---Security Police?--- Why is the Port Authority Police Department list as "security police agency"? As far as I know they are a full service police agency. Matthewbrownny (talk) 21:38, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
