[edit] NPOV-check

I'm concerned that this article reads like a brochure for the schoool. Would like to see it cleaned up (as part of my efforts to improve [UCSD] articles in general.) Sentences especially like "It now stands among the world's top graduate schools of international relations and is the established leader in its focus on Asia and the Americas" are of concern.

NPOV issue has been addressed - please review.

[edit] Improving this page

I'm trying to improve the IR/PS page as much as I can. For one, it's woefully bland. It also fails to communicate much about the school, its history, and what it contributes to the academic world. For now, I'm just adding the little box on the right, as that seems to be a prerequisite for any serious school-related article.

I also uploaded the school's logo. Hopefully some of us can build this into a decent page. UCLAri 09:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:IRPSlogo.jpg

Image:IRPSlogo.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I honestly don't understand the problem here, and any assistance from a non-bot would be appreciated. What, exactly, do I need to do? UCLAri 03:31, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
