message: :Image:Canadian Land Forces Command Badge.PNG 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:Canadian Land Forces Command Badge.PNG

message: I have added details for the 1939-45 Star, Africa Star, France and Germany Star and Defence Medal which are visible in the photograph here and painting here. The ribbon of the Africa Star is difficult to make out, but the stars for three World War II campaign stars are evident. Given his war service, and the order of wear for stars, it is all but certain that the second star is the Africa Star (the 1939-45 Star and France and Germany Star are both identifiable in the painting and photograph), however more explicit referencing would be good if someone can find it - I tried but couldn't find anything.

message: I'm confused. In the content it appears as though Vanier is discussing with Pearson, the idea of serving more then 5 years as GG. Yet at this point, Vanier has already served over 7 years as GG. GoodDay (talk) 23:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it was less than seven years, but I see your point. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 23:16, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: September 1959 to March 1967 (they talked of it on the day before Vanier died), that's over 7 yrs. GoodDay (talk) 23:38, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, yes, you're right. I don't know what's wrong with me today. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 00:05, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

message: George Vanier did not become a Right Honourable directly upon entering upon his viceregal tenure. The custom for Governors General to be "Right Honourable" only began after his death, in the "Table of titles to be used in Canada" of 1967. All previous Governors General, including the immediate predecessor, Massey, had already been members of the British Privy Council or had been peers upon their appointment as Governor General, which explains why they had already been Right Honourables or more. Vanier, however, was made a British Privy Counsellor during his viceregal tenure, in 1963, to reflect which I propose to update the list of his titles.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.195.119.214 (talk) 06:42, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
