From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] america-centrism

this page is extremely american centric. surely other countries had war bond schemes? --naught101 09:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I guess not. I'm going to remove the banner. One alternative is to rename the article. I don't see the immediate need to do that, but wouldn't oppose someone doing it. - Bevo 20:51, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Canada, China, Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany and Romania issued similiar bonds during the Second World War. There may be others. 71.92.157.249 (talk) 19:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

Image:Pyat rublei 1997.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] no citation for "inflation" rationale

"The government used the hype of the war to market the bonds to the country as a way to raise money for the war, when in fact they were used to take money out of the economy so inflation would not occur." Z1perlster (talk) 23:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
