Fair use rationale for Image:Nl-coat-thb.gif
Image:Nl-coat-thb.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 15:56, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Greatsealofnewfoundland.jpg
The image Image:Greatsealofnewfoundland.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
 * That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

Rmm553 here;

The reason the great seal would be used here is because the Great Seal was created before copyright and is an identifying National Symbol used on the Flag from 1907-1970's. As a generic image, and on a page with photos of Newfoundland and Labrador symbols and emblems, it absolutely falls under fair use to display an example of The Great Seal on a page dedicated to symbols such as the great seal — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmm553 (talk • contribs) 08:11, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
