message: :Image:FIRELOGO.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, 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:FIRELOGO.gif

message: The information below was removed since there is no historical evidence that St. Florian ever had such symbolism. Just because St. Florian is a patron saint of firefighters does not enable anyone to invert this association and say that any firefighter symbolism is owned or historically the official symbolism of St. Florian.

message: Is there any evidence of him being a patron saint of Poland? No such information is present on the Polish version of this page, and he appears nowhere on the Polish wikipedia page listing the patrons of Poland (http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katoliccy_patroni_Polski - unfortunately no English version of that), so I'm not sure where this comes from. I grew up in Poland and only ever heard of him as a patron of firefighters and related professions... --Weronika 69.181.198.206 (talk) 18:41, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

message: This article mentions that "calls for firefighters often are made as Call for Florian" I think that is supposed to mean the radio call signs that are officially reserved for fire departments ... and there it is in all of Germany ONLY the call sign Florian which is used for fire departments (see also here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funkrufname#Kennw.C3.B6rter_der_Beh.C3.B6rden_und_Organisationen List in the german Wiki of all official call signs) except in some remnants of 2m wave frequencies where Florentine is used... but as most of the departments have modernized to digital CB... Florian is the official call sign for them.  --5.146.47.75 (talk) 01:53, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
