Please see my response to your comment at Talk:Grameen Foundation. No ill-feeling, but it's important to beware of USA-centricism (or any centricism for that matter).

I would like to also suggest that you check out Appropedia which among other things provides a way for organizations to network and collaborate with likeminded individuals and organizations. --Chriswaterguy talk 02:20, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:GF Logo with tagline.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:GF Logo with tagline.jpg. 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 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. 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 10:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
