message: :Image:Lebanese democratic left movement.jpg 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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Lebanese democratic left movement.jpg

message: The following are additional comments I intended to raise at the peer review, which was closed before I got back to it:-
*History section - Foundation
**Suggest change section name to "Early history", as it only deals with the foundation in September 2004, and the assassinations a year later. 
:
**To avoid repetitions of the full title "Lebanese Communist Party"  I have introduced the acronym "LCP" a few times, or otherwise referred to "the party" 
:
**"These activists and intellectuals who split from the LCP..." Is this the same group who, in the previous paragraph, called itself  "the reform and democracy forces in the Lebanese Communist Party"? When did they formally split from the LCP?
**You refer to the DLM being established at a ceremony "in September 2004". Can we have the actual date of this ceremony?:
*Assassinations: Why the multiple citations in the first sentence? Simple matters of fact need only a single, reliable source. As it stands, the sentence is difficult to read. Same point arises in the second paragraph. 
*The Structure and composition section has one brief subsection on internal elections, but tells us nothing of the DML's structure and composition. In the Internal elections subsection:- 
:
**The word "own" in the first sentence is unnecessary :
**The term "National Assembly", in this usage, needs a bit of explanation. I take it to be the ruling committee of the new party, but this needs to be clarified.
:
**Rather than "not lose", say "retain":
**"...while insisting on being a part of March 14." What does this mean?
:
**Final sentence needs further clarification. The voting percentages don't really tell us anything - you haven't given percentages for Atallah's lot. How many seats in the Assembly did each group win?
*Political stances
**Ideology: "Thus, the DLM's ideology is a broad leftist platform that forms the common denominator among its constituents." Whose summary is this? If it is part of the Majed interview, it ought to be attributed to him.
**Domestic Policy: Wording like "one of the few parties", "vehemently", "strongly" give this section a POV feel. You need to remove non-neutral adjectives to remain encyclopedic. :
*Political activities
**Cedar revolution: POV - suggest delete "unprecedented" and change "meddling" to "interference". Also, is "presumably from Syria" part of the stated goal, or is this editorial assumption? :
**Electoral results: "Representing the Maronite seat of Tripoli..." doesn't make sense (a seat representing a seat?) Rewording required. Also, this is the fourth mention of the March 14 Alliance, without any explanation of what it is. :
Hope these comments help. Brianboulton (talk) 19:46, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
