message: :Image:Logo of IUR.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 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 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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Logo of IUR.gif

message: The article is filled with texts promoting the importance of this university thus providing a (IMHO) unbalanced view. Nothing of it is referenced. Claims made concerning status (University title is protected in Dutch Law) need to sourced. Consider for example the opening history section (it is not limited to this, just as an example):
:The presence of Muslims and Islam in the Netherlands is a social and historical fact.Comment: why is this relevant? Since the 1960s, Muslims have been allowed to establish mosques, foundations and organizations by virtue of Dutch law.Comment: is there any pre 1960 law forbidding this?, if so mention and reference In accordance with constitutional rights, Muslims have recently founded Islamic primary and secondary schools within a framework of financial support from the Dutch government and under laws organizing the educational system in the Netherlands. In 1997 the IUR was founded as a result of initiatives taken by Muslims living in the Netherlands. Since then the IUR has established itself as a Dutch UniversityComment: was it recongised as University according to Dutch law (that is not easy!, and if it was this needs a reference) and more importantly as an intellectual contribution of Muslims to Dutch society. There has been general agreement among the founders as regard the IUR as a social necessity for Muslims and non-Muslims in Dutch society.Comment: POV of the founders is hardly neutral.
This article needs a lot of work. Arnoutf (talk) 18:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV

message: The article was deleted except for intro 2 lines by an anonymous editor 83.83.224.127 in July 2009. He/she has no other edits (just this drastic delete), no talk and feedback, no message, no follow up. Of course I am not a fan of this type of article at all, and it needs a huge amount of re-edting. But deleting a huge amount of data in a 10-second job never to revisit Wikipedia again doesn't fair well with the editor's behaviour and intentions. Now the article is here again and it is for everyone to discuss and edit, and hopefully people more commited to Wikipedia to deal with its multiple issues. werldwayd (talk) 04:19, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Reinstated article

message: I am trying to bring some order in this article, and remove some of the items that seem to have been copied directly from the website. I have started with the intro. Put in a reference to said website, removed not really relevant poorly referenced organizations, and put some more emphasis on the fact that only one course is actually accredited (search on https://apps.ib-groep.nl/MCROHO/pages/zoeken.jsf brin = 30GW).
