Fair use rationale for Image:Kuwait naval force.jpg

Image:Kuwait naval force.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

• Persian Gulf War . For Bayrak: This is the name by which the vast majority of the english speaking world knows the conflict in which Kuwait's navy was destroyed. Having what kuwaitis call the war is fine too, but do not remove (or insert false/misleading names) the proper english language name for this conflict again.Bali ultimate (talk) 15:43, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

sorry , Do you speak for the majority?!! This war called Gulf War in wikipedia or at least go to see the Google search results, I do not understand why insist on making this problem?!

Why insist on changing the name? What does this achieve for you? --Bayrak (talk) 01:04, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

No, you are insisting on changing the name: Why? Why not use the most commonly used term for that war used by the entire english speaking world? What is the compelling reason to remove the most common term in a manner that will make that article less useful? The only answer i can see is some kind of nationalism/chauvinism. You are making a problem Bayrak. You're entire purpose here seems to consist of removing the word "persia" wherever you can find it, claim the "arabness" of various historical figures whose ethnicity is, at least, in dispute; and to do so in a contentious and disruptive manner.Bali ultimate (talk) 14:01, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Gulf War is the name adopted in Wikipedia see the page --Bayrak (talk) 16:46, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 20:57, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
