Removal of fairuse image

Image:Scientology new style logo.png is tagged as {{logo}}, and is used under fair use rules. However, Wikipedia:Fair use states:

Fair use images should only be used in the article namespace. Used outside article space, they are often enough not covered under the fair use doctrine. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages. They should be linked, not inlined, from talk pages when they are the topic of discussion. This is because it is the policy of the Wikimedia Foundation to allow an unfree image only if no free alternative exists and only if it significantly improves the article it is included on. All other uses, even if legal under the fair use clauses of copyright law, should be avoided to keep the use of unfree images to a minimum. Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis if there is a broad consensus that doing so is necessary to the goal of creating a free encyclopedia (like the templates used as part of the Main Page).

So, obviously use in a template, that's in turn, used in a talk page, is doubly invalid. So, I'll be removing it. Note, my removal of the image is premised on the assumption the tag of the image is correct (e.g. it is covered by a non-free copyright). If I'm wrong about that (and this image is PD or otherwise useable), then please change the tag appropriately before re-adding it. --Rob 07:06, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Small parameter

Please review Talk:Tom Cruise to see how this template is currently distorting the display of the table of contents. If the 'small' parameter is implemented like in other similar project banners, this problem would go away. If you need any assistance in implementing this, please ring me up. Thanks! Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 20:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
