Fair use rationale for Image:Som1.jpg
Image:Som1.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 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.

Added fair use rationale to image pages

Assumption of Movation: Any Sources?
I'm curious about this phrase: "after he had enriched himself in the process of expelling over 22,000 Protestants from Salzburg."

The Schloss Leopoldskron website attributes his motivations as a desire to rebuild social standing after expelling the Protestants: "Although Firmian was highly educated in the sciences and had a fine appreciation for art, he was nevertheless responsible for the expulsion of 22,000 Protestants from Salzburg, which greatly harmed his family’s reputation. Thus he instructed the Scottish Benedictine monk Bernhard Stuart to design the rococo-palace as a prestigious family residence in an effort to partially restore the family’s social standing."

Is anyone aware of sources that can verify his motivations for commissioning the Schloss?

Edit: I had an opportunity to speak with a PhD student who studies Austrian history about this. She recommended Kleine Geschichte Salzburgs (A Short History of Salzburg) by Heinz Dopsch. Dopsch demonstrates that Schloss Leopoldskron was an expression of Firmian's absolute power. I don't have a copy of the book available in order to use it to improve the article, but I thought I'd include the note in case someone else out there can take this further than me.
