Fair use rationale for Image:Coast guard flag.gif

Image:Coast guard flag.gif 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 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 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 06:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

reverting for discussion

This edit with the edit summary "moved USCG Long Range Interceptor to Long Range Interceptor (boat): more appropriate dab (dab seems necessary as LRI could be an aircraft or missile)".

I moved it back, as this explanation doesn't make sense to me. All the instances where the link is used make clear, from the context, that the Long Range Interceptor is a boat. Further, anywhere where it is linked, if we used the other name as the base name, it would end up being a piped link. Well heck, it would only be once a reader arrived at the page that they would see the disambiguator, and, by that time disambiguation would be unnecessary.

"USCG Long Range Interceptor" is a bad title, though. We don't disambiuguate with the "USCG" leading - the disambiguation format is uniformly "Articlename (dab)". "USCG Long Range Interceptor" implies that that is the full and complete name of the boat, which it is not. So it needs to be (perhaps) at Long Range Interceptor or Long Range Interceptor (USCG). - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 05:03, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Either of the alternatives you suggested above sounds acceptable to me. Geo Swan (talk) 05:30, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Going to go with the former then. :) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:23, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
