Fair use rationale for Image:Joserlindley.PNG
Image:Joserlindley.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 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.

British in Peru
The majority of British settlers are thought to be English, but keep in mind the United Kingdom has Scotland, Wales and Ireland (later the Republic of Ireland broke off from Great Britain), as well the current-day country of Northern Ireland. Peru has a historical bond with Scotland, starting with the failed "New Scotland" colonies stretching from Panama to southern Argentina in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Pacific coasts had a few Scottish castle fortifications like in Darien province, Panama and the legacy of Scotsmen in Punta Arenas, Chile; but the Lima metropolitian area was said to be a favored "quinta" or rest stop for the British navy on their way from Guyana or Africa (i.e. Ghana or Nigeria), to Australia or New Zealand at the height of the British empire. + 71.102.11.193 (talk) 22:48, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Numbering Peruvian Presidents
The first two entries in the list of notable (British-Peruvian) people are former Presidents of Peru. This article lists them as:


 * Guillermo Billinghurst, 31st President of Peru       (or 37th?)
 * Nicolás Lindley López, 56th President of Peru       (or 48th?)

But their respective Wikipedia articles accord them the numerical position of 37th and 48th Presidents of Peru, respectively. These discrepancies are visible with just a mouse hover, without even leaving this article.

I am far from being an expert on numbering the Presidents of Peru. I can certainly imagine circumstances that would render this topic contentious. But related Wikipedia articles ought to be consistent ((in my opinion). If you know or can determine the correct numbering, please fix the article(s) that is/are incorrect. Thank you.
