Fair use rationale for Image:Thora-logo.gif
Image:Thora-logo.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 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.

The Crest
The image in the article (Thora-logo.gif) is actually the school crest of my school, S. Thomas' College. No one makes money off of it, as it's not trademarked and not used in commercial enterprises. I can upload a higher resolution image if anyone is interested. Schools in Sri Lanka do not mind their crests being used online, and it's traditional for old boys and present boys alike to wear this crest on clothing, especially to the Royal-Thomian matches...

October 2008
Recent edits have weighted the article with overly specific content. Of greater immediate concern has been the continuing insertion of promotional material copied from the school's website, for instance, text taken from http://www.sthomascollege.com/about_the_college.htm. Wikipedia can not accept copyrighted material, nor does it condone overtly promotional content. JNW (talk) 16:54, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Moving the article
I have reverted an inappropriate cut and past move of this article to another location. Please never do this as it causes lots of problems. I have no opinion on the location of the article but if the article is moved it should be done via the "move" button. If a move requires admin assistance please make a request at WP:RM.

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: moved  to S. Thomas'   College, Mount Lavinia  Calmer   Waters  07:43, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

St Thomas& → S. Thomas' College, Mt. Lavinia — Official name of the school. Based on an old Latin rule the college does not use St. but S. in its name. Hence not St Thomas’ but S. Thomas’ – please refer to the school website for further info. User:Uvants2 12:46, 22 February 2010 (UTC)


 * The school does not appear to use the abbreviation "Mt." either, so "Mount" as on the school website should probably be used instead. It is common on Wikipedia for schools in some countries to put the location on the end of a school name after a comma for disambiguation purposes, even when it is not part of the school name. This case is a little different however as the school uses Mount Lavinia as part of its school name almost consistently without a comma, so arguably this should be removed as well. My conclusion would be to move it to S. Thomas' College Mount Lavinia. Camaron · Christopher · talk 18:15, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
