Fair use rationale for Image:Camino icon.png
Image:Camino icon.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 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 18:47, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey!
Paul, wow and here I am assuming I'm logged in on EVERY computer I have. Yea, I have so many because some people dont know what theyre throwing away. I fix 'em and sell 'em. Anyway, I log in tonight (to make a change to tonights Soprano's episode, referencing the Blue Comet) and I get the message. Will definitely keep your suggestion in mind!

As you may not be aware, the International Symbol of Access (more commonly known as "the wheelchair symbol") is not in public domain, but is a copyrighted image and may not be used in templates according to Wikimedia guidelines. Most international symbols are in public domain (men/women restroom icons, recycling symbol, etc.), but the wheelchair symbol is an unfortunate exception. I do not agree with the policy and I think that the image should be allowed to be used, and believe me when I say that you and I are not the only ones who feel the same way. Earlier this year, debates took place in the Village pump and went on for literally months (you can see one of them here). Eventually, a consensus was developed that the symbol would be used in the form of a unicode character for a perticular computer font, however the symbol showed up as a question mark (?) on 95% people's computers because they didn't have the font installed, so the idea was scrapped. What it comes down to is this – we cannot go against Wikimedia guidelines, so a free (and rather tacky) alternative must be used. A user contacted Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales on this issue, and you can read his response here. I hope this cleared things up for you. – Dream out loud (talk) 19:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
