Fair use rationale for File:StanislausSeal.gif
File:StanislausSeal.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.

Economy
This is kind of a weird paragraph....it says "Agriculture is Stanislaus County's number two industry, with wine grapes being the primary agricultural product." Well, that's nice, but then what's the number one industry? 24.6.66.193 (talk) 11:45, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

You know, I was going to ask the same exact question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.19.12.68 (talk) 20:53, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Updated Politics section
Updated Overview paragraph in the Politics section. It incorrectly asserted that Stanislaus is "generally a Republican county in Presidential and congressional elections" when the data presented in the table does not bear that out. It shows Democrats have won more times than Republicans, both recently and historically.

Old: Stanislaus is a generally Republican county in Presidential and congressional elections. In 2012, however, Barack Obama won the county with 49.9 percent of the vote. The last Democrat to win a majority in the county was Jimmy Carter in 1976, although Barack Obama won a plurality in 2008 and 2012, as did Bill Clinton in both 1992 and 1996. Just like the neighbouring Merced County, Stanislaus is considered a bellwether county. It voted for the winning candidate for president in every election from 1972-2012.

New: Just like the neighbouring Merced County, Stanislaus is considered a bellwether county in presidential elections. It voted for the winning candidate for president in every election from 1972-2012. In 2012, Barack Obama won the county with 49.9 percent of the vote. The last Democrat to win a majority in the county was Jimmy Carter in 1976, although Barack Obama won a plurality in 2008 and 2012, as did Bill Clinton in both 1992 and 1996. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the county but lost the election, the first time Stanislaus backed the losing candidate since 1968 when it voted for Hubert Humphrey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwehman (talk • contribs) 14:48, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Etymology
I'm not sure if this is actually named after Estanislau. It might be for St. Stanislaus Kostka, and there is a St.Stanislaus Catholic Church in Modesto. — Preceding unsigned comment added by General I80 (talk • contribs) 05:29, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
