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

LGBT controversy
In this set of edits, an IP belonging to California Baptist University appears to be attempting to minimize the mention of a recent controversy regarding the school, by repeatedly removing mention of the expelled student's gender identity and the controversial circumstances of the expulsion. IP, can you explain why you feel the gender identity of the expelled student, which is the basis for the expulsion, should not be mentioned in the article, and why you're removing discussion of the legal circumstances of the expulsion and relocating the disputed paragraph to a section outside the main body of the article?

 * I've done a quick redo of the transgender expulsion. We cannot say that the expulsion is against the law because the law seems to exempt CBU from such laws. Let me put it another way -- it is illegal to cross an intersection without stopping at the limit line when the light is red; but suppose you are an ambulance driver responding to an emergency. In that case the law exempts you from stopping, so it is not illegal for you to enter the intersection without stopping. Besides the HuffingtonPost reference, there was a blog reference. I removed the blog. In any event, this particular bit of news is subject to further tweaking. (BTW, I have no connection to CBU and, in general, have a minimum of regard for religious bodies.) --S.

Link to CBU Online in "External links" section
Waylonrobert is insisting that this article include in the "External links" section a link to the Official CBU Online website. I contend that the link is unnecessary; we already have a link to the university's official website and we have a long-standing guideline that "More than one official link should be provided only when the additional links provide the reader with significant unique content and are not prominently linked from other official websites." The CBU Online link doesn't provide readers with "significant unique content" that isn't already on the main university website and it is "prominently linked from other official website." This editor specifically insisted that this link be retained because CBU Online is a "separate business unit" but that doesn't seem relevant at all; the institution's business and marketing interests are not our problem or our concern.

(This editor also raised an objection to the link to the Official athletics website. These links are ubiquitous on U.S. college and university articles and I have also asked about whether these links are appropriate or necessary (citing the same guideline as above).  I don't recall exactly where the discussions have taken place - I suspect they're in the archives of WT:UNIGUIDE or WT:UNI - but as I recall the consensus was to include those links if they're on a separate domain from the main university website.  I think that the prominence of intercollegiate athletics at U.S. institutions and the fact that those websites are large, complex, and contain unique information not on the main university website were the driving forces behind that discussion and its conclusion.)

 * It's been nearly a year with no response so I have removed the link in question. ElKevbo (talk) 19:58, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
