Fair use rationale for Image:Viet Cong posing.jpg
Image:Viet Cong posing.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

A possible source - Tucker
Tucker "The Encyclopedia of the Vietnam War", pp. 952 onwards seems like it could be a useful source (only preview available on Google books though). Does anyone have access to this source? Anotherclown (talk) 00:07, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

PAVN loss
Please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First_Battle_of_Qu%E1%BA%A3ng_Tr%E1%BB%8B&oldid=619141544

And later version: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First_Battle_of_Qu%E1%BA%A3ng_Tr%E1%BB%8B&oldid=631121798

The first number is "2000 KIA, 4,169 WIA" (this number was quoted in PAVN history book). But IP changed it, became "14,000 KIA", without any source or reason. So, why you don't want to revert this number? (P/S: 26,000 is ARVN CASUALTIES (KIA+WIA+CIA), not only "KIA" as you thought, the loss ratio 4:1 is not seem highly unlikely, ok)27.72.40.71 (talk) 05:04, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

If you can read Vietnamese wiki (http://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi%E1%BA%BFn_d%E1%BB%8Bch_Tr%E1%BB%8B_Thi%C3%AAn), you can see: IP wrong first battle's casualties and TOTAL CAMPAIGN (firt battle+second battle+Battle of Cua Viet) casualties 27.72.40.71 (talk) 04:05, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
