Fair use rationale for Image:Zhp bialy.jpeg
Image:Zhp bialy.jpeg 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.

Description
I'm confused here...

"The letters ONC on the wings of the emblem stand for "Ojczyzna, Nauka, Cnota" (Polish for "Homeland, Education, Virtue"). The middle wing with the letter N also symbolizes the compass that should guide every Scout through his or her life. The fleur-de-lys on the Scouts Cross does not bear the letters ONC, which have been replaced by two stars, emblematic of a Scout's wide-open eyes."


 * Why is this discussing the ONC letters that are not on the emblem?
 * Looking at the emblem, it has CZU and WAJ— what do these mean?
 * There are no stars on the emblem.

 * This part about ONC should disappear form the article -- it relates to a fleur-de-lis used in Polish Scouting as a separate symbol. Polish wiki article pl:Lilijka (scouts' fleur-de-lis) says:
 * W 1927 na ramionach lilijki używanej przez Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego umieszczono litery ONC (...). Były eksponowane na lilijce do 1965, kiedy decyzjami nowego regulaminu zmieniono jej kształt i usunięto litery.
 * In 1927 letters ONC (...) were placed on arms of a fleur-de-lis used in Polish Scouting. They were exposed there until 1965, when new regulations changed the fleur-de-lis' shape and removed letters.
 * In 1981 'ONC' came back to the symbol (see pl:Odnowa harcerstwa).
 * However the miniature fleur-de-lis in the scouting cross central part has no ONC marking.
 * And "CZUWAJ" is explained in the article. --CiaPan (talk) 11:41, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah- it was not obvious that CZU and WAJ are Czuwaj. ---— Gadget850 (Ed)  talk 13:37, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
