At this moment, only 4 of these have Wikipedia articles of their own. Can anyone create articles so that we can have a template for the seals similar to the one for the state flags?? 66.245.9.242 16:21, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] JPG and PNG
Someone has been copying the original JPG format seals into PNG. Their file sizes are usually larger than the originals. And the source information has seldom been included. The source information is very important. Mackerm 07:17, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Center
The text below the seals might look better centered. What's the syntax for that? CoolGuy 18:12, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- I just fixed that using the "center" tag. I couldn't find a better way to do it since the "gallery" tag doesn't seem to support any options --CapitalR 06:36, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:New Hampshire state seal.png
Image:New Hampshire state seal.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 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.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Connecticut state seal.png
The image Image:Connecticut state seal.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
-
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
- That this article is linked to from the image description page.
