Fair use rationale for Image:StPaulsCathedral.jpg
Image:StPaulsCathedral.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 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.

Churchill's V for Victory sign
Churchill's V for Victory signn photo was taken of Churchill on his return from the Third Washington Conference (TRIDENT) Washington, D.C. in May 1943 -- not in 1940. I was prompted to research the date as I remember reading that he took to the hand gesture V sign later in the war not early on. Quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_sign Section 2.1 "in July 1941, Churchill referred approvingly to the V for Victory campaign in a speech, from which point he started using the V hand sign. Early on he sometimes gestured palm in (sometimes with a cigar between the fingers). Later in the war, he used palm out." With this in mind I shall remove the image from this wikipage.--Brenont (talk) 23:26, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
