Fair use rationale for Image:Christlightgb.jpg

Image:Christlightgb.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 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 Wikipedia: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 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.

See is vacant until installation

The appointment of a new bishop does not change the governance of the diocese. Until Barber's installation on May 25, the see is vacant, and the infobox should reflect that. It is acceptable to discuss the new appointment in the text of the article, especially with a reference to reliable secondary sources, but it is a violation of WP:CRYSTAL to anticipate his taking canonical possession of the diocese. Elizium23 (talk) 15:12, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I really don;t think sede vacante is a more useful link than apostolic administrator, which it replaced. In any case what WP:CRYSTAL says is that "scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." Is there any serious doubt? Sparafucil (talk) 19:48, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You can write all you want about the appointment in the article text. The infobox is for at-a-glance, current information, so it is not good to clutter it with speculative information that is not easily understood by the public (as clearly this situation is, since we have been having this conversation for a couple years in six different places and with many different editors.) Elizium23 (talk) 19:58, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now we have a case of the current information missing from the infobox, as the apostolic administrator still holds his office until Barber's installation, so how many lines do you want to cram in there? Elizium23 (talk) 20:54, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, infoboxes are often controversial. Looking at Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco there seems to be plenty of room, so why add a separate field for A-A? Btw, if including the Holy Father illuminates a hierarchy (I can't see another reason), why is the ordering in all the articles I've peeked at Pope-Bishop-Archbishop? Sparafucil (talk) 23:28, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That is a discussion for the appropriate Template talk pages, or for WT:CATHOLIC. Elizium23 (talk) 02:47, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

July 2021 Latin Church revision

As of July 2021, this article was modified to eliminate the nondescript term "Roman Catholic" in favor of the more precise distinction of "Latin Church" (the sui iuris church) and "Catholic Church" (the denomination). If you believe this edit to be in error or improper, please make the relevant reversion and open discussion on this talk page or my personal talk page. Thank you. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:13, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

High Schools

I presume that this section is intended to list high schools that are owned and governed by the Diocese of Oakland. If so, then St. Mary's and De La Salle should not be listed, as they are both owned and governed by the Christian Brothers order, not by the Diocese. Same for Carondolet, which is owned and governed by the Sisters of St Joseph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.71.185.176 (talk) 17:13, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
