2662:, or in fact anywhere on Knowledge, is rule #8: "Significance: Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." There have been so many hotly contested debates on how to judge "significance", that some users including me have been reluctant to enforce it. These debates are like dealing with different Supreme Court justices who either want to strictly enforce the rules by requiring very detailed explanations or who are only looking for anything reasonable. 1054: 539: 3364: 1125: 1065: 621: 550: 2614:

one. Take the usage of the real NFL Logo on 4 separate pages (including a list), any user could easily add the same identical fair use rationale for any article and it would go un- noticed. Quite the riddle isn't it? Which scenario really adheres to the guidelines / rules / policies of the wiki? Copyrighted images are everywhere because someone simply stated "Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:"

I thought it was a rather special occasion (after all, a girl only has a 250th birthday once in her lifetime) but had no idea about the procedure for suggesting it for the main page. Thanks for spotting it, tweaking the wording, and increasing her prominence. I owe a great debt of gratitude to Mary; perhaps you do too? Now we can give her some birthday cake! 1076: 561: 513: 1260: 2419: 3468:). My guess is that any article about Obama is more likely to get posted next year because his story has more international interest since he is the first African-American to become U.S. President. Blagojevich probably comes across internationally as the average corrupt politician – nothing relatively out of the ordinary there. Cheers. 1253: 2726:, which occurred in 2006.

Your opinion of "looks like an unprofesisonal, poor man's version of the NFL logo on mirror sites" is just that and Opinion. and your blanket removal of the image is un-sportsman like especially considering your level of contribution within the series of draft pages. This MASS removal is really the

Do we need the box listing control cities on California articles, such as Interstate 205? California is like, the only state that uses them, and that box was never sourced. It's probably better that you actually go and take a picture of the sign in Tracy, if you live around there. That'll probably

I just need to say this somewhere... The use of copyrighted images on WP is so convoluted that it's mind boggling. Take the removal of HeismanTrophyLogo.png from every single draft page because there was no listed fair use rationale for the article (or list), however it would be very simple to add

Bold is always good IMO specifically to individual articles. I'll point out that the discussion pages for each of these articles / lists which use the image have requests for more appropriate art, creating a new image rather than deleting the existing would have been bold. Thank you for your

Though I understand the need to edit my block, please be careful. You accidentally re-enabled the anon-only feature, which was intentionally disabled. It was funny that you did that after I accidentally re-enabled the ability for him to edit his own talk page. :-)

3083:, where editors' substitutes for fixing content and tone are, it appears, to nominate entire articles for deletion, based upon just 1 paragraph that they think is inappropriate (but that they have made zero effort to actually edit out themselves) and some vandalism. 3610:. My watchlist was flooded by these changes, so it's not like anybody didn't notice this change. I only requested that the control cities be removed because 1) they're unsourced, and 2) they leave a lot of blank space between the lead and the route description. -- 2056:. At least there is another editor who offered an alternative: leave one article about the CDP, and create another one on the community itself – because the community may not encompass the entire territory that the Census Bureau defines as the CDP.

So to sum up, one reason why "any user could easily add the same identical fair use rationale for any article and it would go un- noticed" is that there are some like me who decline to strictly enforce the hotly debated subjective rule
