Fair use rationale for Image:NstLogo2005.gif
Image:NstLogo2005.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.

Plagarism row
I'm suprised nothing is mentioned abou the recent plagarism scandal regarding NST editor Brendan Pereira copying certain passages from one of Mitch Albom's Detroit Free Press articles. Here's a few sources on the topic:

 * http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6108666.stm

Someone may want to put this in. - Two hundred percent 17:51, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and added it myself. The lack of response only proves my point. No one around here cares. - Two hundred percent 08:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Why was the plagiarism section, which was well sourced, removed, and all the unsourced political garbage was left in? Rees11 (talk) 18:26, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
