Talk:Aerogram

message: The text of this article refers to "Rhodesia", the country now known as Zimbabwe, in listing countries that once sold aerogrammes without postage.  If this practice ended before Rhodesia became Zimbabwe (circa 1980), the reference should be changed to "Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe)".  If it continued in Zimbabwe after that time (whether to the present or otherwise), it should read simply "Zimbabwe".  --RBBrittain 02:39, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: "Rhodesia" or "Zimbabwe"?

message: :The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
===Rationale===   
*There is no documentation in this article that the term "aerogram" is used anywhere in the world; though it would be consistent with American English style, the United States Postal Service used the seemingly un-American spelling "aerogramme" right up until they were discontinued earlier this year.   
*Apparently, the proper term for this item is "air letter" in the UK and "aerogramme" elsewhere, including the U.S.  The picture in this section (from the UK) suggests "aerogramme" is originally a French term; it uses that term below "par avion" and "air letter" below "by airmail", consistent with Universal Postal Union conventions for airmail (which call for the endorsement "airmail" in English and/or "par avion" in French).
*"Air letter" is not preferred for this article because that term is sometimes used in the U.S. to refer to letters delivered by FedEx or other overnight couriers. Therefore, the best title for this article is "aerogramme", recognizable in both American English and (from its usage in French on the actual items) British English. --RBBrittain 03:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Rationale

message: :Image:GB Christmas Aerogram.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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:GB Christmas Aerogram.jpg

message: An image used in this article, , has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations 
;What should I do?
Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.
* If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
* If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
* If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request
