Fair use rationale for Image:RMS.jpg
Image:RMS.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 00:24, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Needs more info
What I have listed is info for the Athletics & Band programs. If someone can add info on the other programs, such as Choir, Technology Education/Systems, etc., that would really help this article. Thanks! --StitchPedia (talk) 03:54, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Proposed merger to BISD
In accordance with WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG, middle schools should be merged into the district page unless there is significant coverage in reliable sources. Richland Middle School is only linked to from the Birdville High School page (and several redirect pages). Though there has been some work in describing the school like its colors, newspaper, and yearbook, this can be easily incorporated in the main district page with a short paragraph. NOTE: this is just a notification, any discussion should occur on Talk:Birdville Independent School District page.The Jacobin (talk) 15:37, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * There being no discussion, this issue is closed and the merger will happen today. The Jacobin (talk) 15:53, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
