[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Claudia Carawan.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Claudia Carawan.gif. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs (talk) 11:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Declaration of war by the United States

Hi. I reverted your edit to this page (along with some vandalism) because the Vietnam and Iraq were not formal "Wars" (Congress has the power to declare War). Although the Iraq AUMF could be said to be a declared "War" under the war powers resolution, it is more precisely "the use of military force." --Cdogsimmons (talk) 01:39, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Do not patronize me. I understand well the relationship between the US Congress and Presidency with regards to the declaration of war. However, the official powers delegated by the Constitution do not change that war has been declared without Congressional approval- hence the creation of the War Powers Act. Your assertion is in contradiction to other entries in this section referred to as "wars" but which also were not formally declared. The "conflicts" in Iraq and Vietnam are well-established as wars, whether or not you view them as such. If you wish to change said interpretation- which I believe constitutes original research- you must make that argument on the actual pages (to have them renamed). As is, the Wikipedian community has clearly agreed that the conflicts are in fact wars. I am restoring my edit. If you wish to change it back, you must reach a consensus about the proper terminology on the pages Vietnam War and Iraq War. Ian Burnet (talk) 02:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
