message: :Image:HIT logo.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 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.BetacommandBot 06:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:HIT logo.gif

message: I did some improvements on the lead where statements are reorganized for clear expression and the claim of "secret projects undertaken by the university affecting its international rank" was removed due to the lack of direct & verifiable sources and the insufficient importance to be highlighted like that. Some grammatical problems are fixed as well (i.e consistently rank --> has been consistently ranked).Biomedicinal (contact)
:Hitmanager and 马兴毅 (probably the same user), I've sought to collaborate with you by asking for your reasons of reversion but you just turned a blind eye to me. Your edit of the lead is problematic and I've pointed it out several times via different talk pages, including yours.
:Again, please do realize you're adding something that doesn't seem to be constructive: 
*You've kept adding irrelevant and redundant stuff to the lead.
:The counterparts of "Ivy League" (like what you added the Russell Group in UK and Go8 in Australia) aren't really relevant to HIT and probably shouldn't be added to the intro here.
:By the way, as I've repeated many times, Ivy League is actually athletic in nature, unlike the C9 League. 
*You've kept adding clumsy sentences with obvious grammatical problems.
:Ranked among the top 5 instead of topping the league table you cited, the institute should be " among the best science and engineering universities ".
:The "consistency" of its ranking positions probably requires the use of perfect tense instead of past tense.
:The word "HIT" is used repeatedly within few statements which are clumsy to read. 
*You've kept emphasizing the institute's "top status" without proper citations (it seems you're a student, graduate or even teacher there).
:Wikipedia's pages aren't a promotional leaflet. 
:Prestige descriptions require relevant, robust, multiple and verifiable sources to support since otherwise people can simply add such claim to their own Alma mater or school they're studying at (even MIT or more locally Tsinghua don't have such stress of "being the best engineering research university" at the first sight of their page).
:To be more accurate, the whole "recognition" statement should be changed to "it is widely ranked among the best engineering and technological universities in mainland China" since you provided sources of rankings (not review or other types of articles) only and those rankings merely take mainland's institutions into account, excluding other Greater China's.
*You've kept adding an irrelevant reference.
:I really don't know why this page is directly a supporting source for your claim of rankings.
