A number of statements on the Ashburn, Virginia page appear exactly as they appear on the website www.ashburnweb.com, so there is a possible copyright issue.


added citation for history if that helps

[edit] Too Promotional?

This statement struck me as being too much like an ad for the town: Ashburn has premier golf courses and two universities, and it is conveniently located between Washington Dulles International Airport and Leesburg.

  • I attempted to rectify that issue along with some other things. If you see anything else that still needs adjustment, feel free to edit. -- Johnny06man 20:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Loudoun Seal.jpg

Image:Loudoun Seal.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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
