Fair use rationale for Image:Ksa2.GIF
Image:Ksa2.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.

Merge of Cathedral School in Turku
In my opinion, it is unnecessary to have two stubs on the topic of this educational establishment. The present-day Katedralskolan has a continuous history that dates back to the medieval Cathedral school. The school existed as a Cathedral School until reformation, after that it was a gymnasium and a trivialskola. When the Royal Academy of Turku was founded, the gymnasium ended its existence, while the trivial school remained as the only lower-level school of Turku until the 19th century. Then, the Turku trivial school was expanded into a lyceum which included both school levels. The most recent change of form occurred in 1979, when the school was transferred from state to Turku municipality and became a comprehensive school and a lukio. In all changes, the pupils and the staff have retained continuity. Thus, both the medieval and contemporary institution fit into the same article. --MPorciusCato (talk) 16:46, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
