[edit] Ecclesiastical history

I am sure that the ecclesiastical history is important and interesting, and should probably be merged with the rest of the history. But what we have here begins

The former city of the Roman Empire, situated at the head of the Adriatic, on what is now the Austrian sea-coast…

The Austrian fucking sea-coast? Who is writing this—Jörg Haider? Is there another encyclopedia which could get away with such crap? No. Someone has just found an out of copyright, and easy to cut and paste, source of ‘facts’, and has decided to drop it here without even reading the first sentence. Would it not have been better to have dropped it somewhere else? When we don’t have an article on something of interest, but someone else a long time ago did, why don’t we just put in a link to it? Hint: updating merely that sentence will not make the article better. On the contrary, it will make it worse. But of course if you have a good reason why this is likely to work better as an inclusion rather that as a link then state if here. ±Ian Spackman 18:18, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I have moved it to Aquileia/Ecclesiastical history (a work in progress) where I hope that people will indeed bring it up to scratch. ±Ian Spackman 18:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Friuli-Venezia Giulia-Stemma.png

Image:Friuli-Venezia Giulia-Stemma.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.
