Fair use rationale for Image:Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum topheadE r1 c1.jpg
Image:Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum topheadE r1 c1.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 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.BetacommandBot 04:50, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

List of notable visitor
The list becoming quite long and hard to digest. There are also names not well known nor have wiki page. I believe every one visitor to the museum is notable regardless of famous or not, however the list should be kept in short. It may be better to have column indicating his/her social title.

 * I added flag and remark to the table. While filling cells, I noticed that there are too many Japanese Prime minister for whom visiting the Memorial park became ritual. Too keep the list short, I propose deleting all JA PM lines except first PM. And also deleting names did not have their own page. User who added those lines, please create their page or at least stub.--Masaqui (talk) 01:30, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * In order to keep the page(list) short, I am deleting the line of all JA's prime ministers except first one from the list also names which are questionable in their notability. P.S. PM Sato was the first prime minister of Japan to attend the peace ceremony of August 6th on 1971, 26 years after the A-bomb.--Masaqui (talk) 03:38, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

As per WP:BOLD, I moved the list of notable visitors to its own page. Please see List of notable visitors to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, and feel free to add more names to the list. Boneyard90 (talk) 14:38, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Any critical views?
I've never seen the museum, but have heard reports from friends and colleagues who have. They are from the Allied countries and say that, although the museum is well run and professional, there is little to suggest that Imperial Japan was an aggressor or a totalitarian state, and that the dropping of the bomb(s) might have hastened the destruction of the regime.

In reading the Talk comments, and the article itself, I get an impression of PR language and/or special pleading. I'm interested in the views of anyone who has visited the museum who can comment on how the Second World War is presented therein.
