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.

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.

message: While Rivne is in the "Ukrainian" zone of Ukraine, there are still a significant number of Ukrainians who know and recognize "Rovno", even when they are from the Rivne oblast and speak Ukrainian.  About half of my university students in Rivne list Ровно as their residence in vKontakte.ru and they all grew up in the Rivne oblast or in the city itself.  The residents, therefore, still use both forms with ease.  (Taivo (talk) 00:24, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: So what what the residents think? WP:COMMONNAME states that articles should be named after the names they are known by in the English speaking world. vKontakte.ru pre-settings are all in Russian so that doesn't proof a thing (maybe they are just lazy). How big is this group anyway? 20 students doing something does not proof the whole city thinks like them... — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 09:04, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No one's talking about changing the name of the article.  We just don't want to remove or relegate information in the first sentence that will be important to English readers (see the following section where actual numbers can be placed).  (Taivo (talk) 09:26, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

text: On vKontakte.ru, about half my contacts in Rivne write Рівне and the other half write Ровно, so it's not at all about whether the website is Russian or not, it's about what the residents of Rivne use when they are writing there, where they otherwise always write in Ukrainian.  So even the residents of Rivne accept both names for their city.  No one is trying to change the name of this article to Rovno, but the Russian alternate name is in use in English language sources and in Slavic-language sources.  Indeed, when I found out I would be living in Rivne for a year, I got on the internet to find out about it.  I searched for Rivne and found very little information.  It was only after a friend told me to search for Rovno that I got most of the information I needed.  So it's not about pushing any nationalistic agenda, it's about providing useful information for our English-speaking readers (who don't care whether the name of the town is in Ukrainian or Russian or Swahili).  --Taivo (talk) 22:29, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Many residents of Ivano-Frankivsk use name Franyk in Vkontakte, should we add it as well? --Dƶoxar (talk) 13:58, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Without in any way wanting to downplay the terrible tragedy of the ethnic and religious cleansing carried out by the Third Reich (in Rivne/Rovno in this case), it would surely strike any balanced person as odd that in the section about the approx. 800-year-long history of the settlement, more than half its length is spent on the mass-murder of the Jewish inhabitants there during WW2 (incidentally, without even a token mention of the other inhabitants murdered by the Nazis at the same time), while the remaining 800 yrs is covered cursorily in the other half. Sometimes one feels a little more balance may go a long way towards disarming a lot of the residual a-s that may exist.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.147.235.161 (talk) 11:32, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
