Fair use rationale for Image:FP120891.gif
Image:FP120891.gif 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.

Interesting 2013 opinion poll...
...about August 2013 support for independence can be found here. But a total of 2,000 Ukrainians aged 18 and older were polled, for me this is too few to make this poll reliable. —  Yulia Romero  • Talk to me!  15:22, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * 2,000 is pretty standard for political opinion polls. Number   5  7  17:50, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

+ another interesting poll, but right now I am too tired to judge if them 2 polls deserve a place in a Wikipedia article.... —  Yulia Romero  • Talk to me!  15:44, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * + another interesting poll, but I still to tired right now... —  Yulia Romero  • Talk to me!  16:54, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

+ another interesting poll, but I still to tired right now (this should not be a surprise to you... ). —  Yulia Romero  • Talk to me!  17:08, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi there,

you wrote that the people in Donetsk Oblast voted 83.90 % for yes, but your source says 76.85 %. If you take a look on this document, you can convince yourself, that 83.90 % should be correct. But why tells us the Ukrainian Weekly wrong results? Best regards --Yoursmile (talk) 14:51, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Percentages
I feel like there's something right in front of me that explains this and I'm just not noticing, but, even by the automatic calculations done by the templates in the infobox, the total "yes" is 92.26%. 28,804,071 out of 31,891,742 total votes were "yes". $28,804,071⁄31,891,742$ = 90.32%... not 92.3%. Likewise: 2,417,554 were "no", and 670,117 were invalid, $(2,417,554 + 670,117)⁄31,891,742$ = 9.68%. 100% - 9.68% = 90.32%, again. How is it that the "yes" votes are calculated as 92.26% when the math shows its 90.32%? 216.165.95.188 (talk) 18:37, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * You're using the total votes (including invalid) to calculate the percentages, but only the total of valid votes should be used, so the correct calculation is $28,804,071⁄31,221,625$ = 92.26% Number   5  7  18:46, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * ...yeeeeeup, that'd do it. I did say there was something right in front of me that I just wasn't noticing, haha. 216.165.95.188 (talk) 18:46, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
