Talk:Public Relations Society of America

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the November issue of the PRSA Newsletter Tactics the editor's corner by John Elsasser discusses PR professionals contributing to Wikipedia.1 According to his statements, founder Jimmy Wales has said PR professionals should adapt a "hands off" approach to Wikipedia stating that it is "deeply unethical behavior." I have been looking for a wikipedian ethics page to show where this is policy for Wikipedia and have not been able to find anything. I am interested in finding out how it could be unethical if the norms of Wikipedia are followed. I do understand that there is an inherent bias in being paid by an organization, but there are inherent bias in anything a person likes or chooses to learn more about. Please assist in documenting this question and where and how people can participate in the discussion. Thanks. USSTRATCOM PAO 14:34, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PRSA.JPG

Image:PRSA.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 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 00:31, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
