[edit] Flag
Anyone know if the actual flag has portholes on the ships to match the logo and coat of arms? └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 04:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for adding the logo. Sorry - it's a while since I last saw the flag, and I can't remember whether it has portholes on it or not. Hopefully someone over there will be able to help. C. Macleod 05:04, 2nd Sept. 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disinformation
The article says: "Western Isles Council was retracted in 1997 under the Local Government (Gaelic Names) (Scotland) Act 1997, meaning that the former Western Isles are now officially named Na h-Eileanan Siar, even in English-language contexts."
But the council itself, on its own web page, has enough common sense to not completely hide themselves away in oblivion. Their own page title as listed on their main page at http://www.cne-siar.gov.uk/ as you can see by looking at the top of your browser when you go there, is Comhairle nan Eilean Siar - Western Isles Council.
That's today: 2007, not pre-1997. Gene Nygaard (talk) 14:09, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:WesternIslesLogo.gif
Image:WesternIslesLogo.gif 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.
