[edit] Overdue reply

Hi Berchemboy. On my talk page you had asked why I changed 'legislative' to 'administrative', and you stated, The districts vote on local sports, culture, urbanisation and other issues. It is a "legislative" body, not "administrative". I may have forgotten to answer that, sorry for not responding earlier. Legislation means law-making by parliament, in Belgium requiring the King's signature. At best, an Antverpian district council may make a politiereglement, a set of local rules, or reglementations; but not laws. The law at higher level, mainly the Gemeentewet, or nowadays the Gemeentedecreet allows municipalities to set out and by police enforce these rules for a limited number of topics; from the proper time to put out the garbage, to (some) local building reglementations, or forbidding to swim at a particular place in a river; and a judge (I assume normally a politierechter) may convict one to a fine for breaking rules. But the council does remain what I assume should in English be called an administrative body; it is definitely not a legislative body. Compare also the concept of administrative subdivisions. In Dutch-language, we say that a schepene belongs to the uitvoerende macht though a parliament to the wetgevende macht, I rather assume this may also be the case for regional parliaments though their 'laws' are named 'decrees'; logically this should then also apply to a city council. But the distinction between 'administrative' and 'legislative' appears to be rather different; see also legislature. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 3 Feb 2007 03:00-14:31 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:De_Tijd.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:De_Tijd.gif. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Rockfang (talk) 04:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:De Standaard1.GIF

Thanks for uploading Image:De Standaard1.GIF. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Volk.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Volk.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:54, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
