Talk:Surigao City

Fair use rationale for Image:SurigaoSeal.JPG
Image:SurigaoSeal.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 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.

Lead image
An anonymous IP editor keeps on removing the lead image, shown at right, as well as the city's nickname. The reason given is that "Photo of NEMCO is NOT representative of Surigao City" (no reason given why the nickname is removed along with it). But clearly the photo is not just of the NEMCO building but of a busy downtown intersection. That makes it certainly a suitable lead image for Surigao City, especially since there is no other free image available. Removal of valid content is vandalism, so if this image is not suitable, let's have a discussion here before removal. I invite comments whether or not this image should be removed from the infobox. Even better would be if Surigaonons would take more photos of the city and upload them to Commons:Category:Surigao City. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:35, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
