Fair use rationale for Image:Greater Melbourne.gif
Image:Greater Melbourne.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 ensure 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.

Solomon Islands
The stars on the flag of the Solomon Islands are supposed to represent the five main islands and not the southern cross. "The blue section represents the water of the Pacific Ocean; while the yellow stripe symbolizes the sunshine and the green section stands for the fertility of the nation. Originally, the five stars represented the five administrative districts at the time of Solomon Island's independence. When the number of districts in the country increased the meaning of the stars was then said to represent the five main groups of islands groups that form the Solomon Islands." worldflags101.com -- neon white talk 16:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

 * If it's not an official flag, we can't list it. The islands apparently have no organized local government or permanent population, so it's doubtful it has an official flag. If it does have a flag approved by the NZ government, then we'd need a reliable source for it, not to mention an svg file depicting the flag, and a suitable image license.
