[edit] source of the text in quotes is requested
The quote describing Greenbelt's origins as an experiment in American socialism does not seem neutral on the subject. Does this quote represent someone's opinion of the nature of the project, and if so, whose? or is the creation of Greenbelt officially defined or described as such? Will the author please identify the source so one can examine the context and form an opinion of whether the quotation represents an appropriate and neutral way to characterize the creation of Greenbelt. Thanks. MoBear 07:29, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- Greenbelt came about as part of the New Deal and was indeed an attempt by the Federal government to try their hand at the planning and operation of an entire city. [1] The only catch is that at the time, socialism tended to be a purely Communistic term insinuating absolute control over everything -- including micromanagement of residences and businesses. However, today, socialism tends to have a broader definition that can include governments that simply provide a number of social programs -- of which I would say Greenbelt certainly classifies as an attempt at just that. Hope that helps! --Thisisbossi 12:00, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Greenbelt md flag.gif
Image:Greenbelt md flag.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 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 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.
