Fair use rationale for Image:FieldLogo.JPG
Image:FieldLogo.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 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 07:23, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Possible namesake?
I came across the biography for Lieutenant Stewart Leon Thompson, a U.S. Army aviator killed at Kelly Field in June 1924. While I have not found historical documentation with which to verify, I believe Lieutenant Thompson was likely the namesake for Thompson Field. It was often the practice in the early days of aviation to name air fields for the unfortunate victims of early aviation pioneers. The "Patterson" in Wright-Patterson AFB is such an example. Leaving this here in case someone can confirm in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KMJKWhite (talk • contribs) 14:16, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Page title
I believe that the title should omit the word “field” or to be changed to “place” Naftikos (talk) 22:00, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
