Fair use rationale for Image:Old Ottawa Flag.png
Image:Old Ottawa Flag.png 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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"New city of Ottawa"
I realize people do casually refer to the "new" city of Ottawa in conversation, but the term is a little informal for the template (not to mention it increasingly ceases to be "new" the more time that passes since 2001). Either we could distinguish between the various incarnations of the city by years (e.g. Bytown (1847-1855), Ottawa (1855-2001), Ottawa (2001-present)), or refer to the latest incarnation of as "Amalgamated city of Ottawa" (or a combination of both approaches). There may be other ways of doing it. But the reference to "new" isn't great. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 17:35, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
