message: :Image:Arms-w-yorks.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 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.

replies: text: I believe the colour is controversial. The flag registered by the YRS at the Flag Registry has background of Pantone 300, and that is what is shown in the article

replies: text:  It seems so, though that is along way off the traditional colour. --neon white talk 10:21, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  "The YRS also chose the shade of blue as Pantone 300 which they felt gave a bright and colourful flag."  Essentially, they registered a *new* flag, although heraldically blue (azure) is blue, regardless of the shade. Lozleader (talk) 15:53, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The dark shade of blue is very traditional, i'm not sure their rather presumptuous decision to change that is really going to have much effect in real terms. It does seem that there has been some questioning of the Yorkshire Ridings Society's right to register the flag with any consultation. --neon white talk 21:58, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
