Fair use rationale for Image:LosSoldadosSonAsi.jpg

Image:LosSoldadosSonAsi.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Volcker

The Volcker surname comes from Lubbeck, Germany. Many a Germanic family immigrated to Curacao and later to Puerto Rico as discussed in the German immigration to Puerto Rico article and as verified by Professor Ursula Acosta and the following verifiable source La Precencia Germanica en Puerto Rico, by Haydee Reichard de cancio PHd. Esteves mother's decendents may have come from Curaçao, however she did not, she was born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico as his father, see: Major General Luis Raúl Esteves Völckers. The issue discussed in the article is the origins of his surname; Esteves=Spanish, Volckers=German regardless of the ethnic composition of the rest of his family. Thank you.

Date of Rank/Adjutant General

Do we have an actual date of rank for this gallant hero? One thing is clear ... with 59 members of the class of 1915 making general rank, the competition to be first was keen ... even if they weren't really competing. As I read, both Bradley and Eisenhower first became generals in 1941. Does "adjutant general" imply the rank of general officer? If so, that would make his date-of-rank significantly pre-date most of the others and should, arguably, be mentioned as such since the introduction makes this claim. Also, the Norat reference isn't obviously clear (at this point it's note #1, but only says 'Norat'). It would seem this this is a reference to José Norat-Martínez, perhaps to his Historia del Regimiento 65 de Infantería (San Juan, Puerto Rico: La Milagrosa, 1960). Can this be made more plain in the references section? RenaissongsMan 19:50, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

• On October 15, 1940, the Puerto Rico Nantional Guard was activated pursuant to Executive Order 3551 and Esteves was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General. Tony the Marine (talk) 20:12, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
