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.

Article Naming
Per guidelines for using titles, shouldn't this article be moved to just "Thrangu" or something that omits the "Rinpoche" title? If there are no complaints, I will make the move. - Owlmonkey (talk) 18:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
