Fair use rationale for Image:Coast guard flag.gif
Image:Coast guard flag.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 Wikipedia articles 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 06:29, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Can an image of just the O.D.D. be added to the page? Also, can it be used with ribbon devices to be put on images of Coast Guard ribbons? Allen (talk) 17:49, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Template?
Why does the template "reqphoto" have to be put on the talk page? It makes more sense to me to put it on the article page. Allen (talk) 04:54, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
