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

City, District, Province, disambiguation page
Recently the articles on the province, the city, the amphoe and the disambiguation for Ayutthaya were reshuffled. I did a small sample and saw that Surin already follows the pattern as now established here. However Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima) and Chiang Mai do not. Should we bring them (and all the others) in line? &minus;Woodstone (talk) 18:30, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think so, just yet. Factors involved in the discussion for Ayutthaya included the prominence of the Ayutthaya Kingdom as the primary topic. I don't think there are Chiang Mai or Nakhon Ratchasima Kingdoms. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:42, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Definitely not. As Paul_012 says, the key thing in Ayutthaya was the argument that the historic kingdom was the primary topic.  In the case of Chiang Mai, and probably in the case of Nakhon Ratchasima, it is the city that is clearly the primary topic. Skinsmoke (talk) 22:29, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

So what about Surin? Was there a Surin Kingdom? &minus;Woodstone (talk) 22:43, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Doesn't really matter whether there was or not, as the disambiguation for Surin is not only with other Thai entries, but also with two places in France. That's why the settlement is at Surin, Thailand. Skinsmoke (talk) 22:53, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Ayutthaya → Ayutthaya (disambiguation) – As discussed above, the kingdoms is clearly the primary topic. It's time to move it back 67.149.246.163 (talk) 00:38, 16 August 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. —  Newslinger  talk   09:21, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: Previous discussion is at Talk:Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya (city). --Paul_012 (talk) 15:41, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I don't think there's enough evidence in the (10-year old) discussion as to why that might be in the case. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:36, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
