Talk:Flag of Singapore/Archive 1

message: I've excised this from the article:
...is Singapore's most visible symbol of statehood, symbolising sovereignity, pride and honour. It reflects the ideals, beliefs and values, that Singaporeans stand by as a nation amidst their rich and diverse make-up. It forms a crucial element of their national identity. As such, the national flag is to be treated with dignity and honour.
That bland list of patriotic assertions sounds like it's copied from a propaganda site. Jpatokal 12:03, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Symb flagpost.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:Symb flagpost.gif

message: The "Gallery of flags" section in this article seems out of place, as this article is about the national flag. There should be some explanation of what they are doing in this article. Cheers, Jacklee 02:26, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gallery of flags 

message: This article could do with a few more photographs of the flag in use (displayed outside buildings, waved by National Day Parade audience members, etc.). If you have any that can be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons, please do so and add them to this article. Thanks! — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 01:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I did about the construction sheet; I made some slight changes to the flag image we are using and also changed the red to match the law. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 00:27, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: About the photos, I only looked for stuff that has an acceptable CC license already. Just make it easier for the both of us. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 00:31, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

text: This article has enough images (and images are not a GA requirement). Adding more will simply encourage the anti-fair use brigade to come here and delete them all. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 13:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm part of that "anti-fair use crowd" and we can have as many images as we want. As long as they are freely licensed, like Creative Commons, we can have all of them. The fair use people cannot, and will not, delete a Creative Commons image unless the license was false. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 18:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
