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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:~YWLA-logo22.gif

message: There are a number of statements claiming the YCL's membership has greatly expanded in recent years, but I can see no references, not even to primary sources. I think these statements need to be backed up by reliable secondary sources, because these claims are likely to be quite controversial. --Beneficii (talk) 10:35, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article mentions that in 2019 the CPUSA proposed reforming the YCL. I believe this has now happened, the website is back up and running and YCL USA members have spoken at events. Extua (talk) 16:33, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: As YCL is obviously still or again alive, the article should be updated – especially the introduction. As I am far off in Europe, someone elses (Your ?) task. AVS (talk) 06:11, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  YCL USA reformed 

message: In the intro section, the final paragraph states:
:"Although independent, in its final years the organization came under direct control of the CPUSA. After a backlash by members towards the suspension of elections and ideological shifts towards the right, membership plummeted." (emphasis added)
Specifically, is this statement trying to claim the shift towards the right came from:
* a critical mass of CPUSA members, encouraging other members to leave for greener (or rather, redder) fields
* the CPUSA leadership/party itself, likewise encouraging members to leave
* society as a whole, which in turns affects new party membership rates
* or some combination of the above?
The closest reference link doesn't mention anything about this, and nothing else in the intro is mentioned to add extra context to this statement. The article does explains some general overall shifts to the right in society, but even then it doesn't say anything about that being an "ideological shifts towards the right". In fact, it seems to imply the reverse, with how Republican George W Bush was replaced with Democrat Barack Obama; Democrats may be more right relative to the CPUSA, but definitely left relative to Republicans. In any case, these "ideological shifts towards the right" that killed the YCL is vague at best. So clarification would be appreciated. Thanks! -- 66.60.148.2 (talk) 17:10, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
