[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

Image:Pyat rublei 1997.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.

[edit] Logic Problem

The section including Google and Keyhole needs to be reworded to make any sense. I would do it myself but am not certain of the facts nehind the statement. I can't figure out what it is trying to say. "The stocks were a result of Google’s acquisition of Keyhole, the CIA funded satellite mapping software now known as Google Earth." The stocks were a result? Can someone who is informed on this issue write something that makes sense to the average reader?66.91.214.29 10:16, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, it seems to say that the CIA/In-Q-Tel had previously -- at some unspecified time -- sold Keyhole to Google in exchange for 5,636 of Google's shares. Later -- on Nov. 15, 2005 -- In-Q-Tel sold these shares (now worth $2.2 million +).Frank Freeman (talk) 15:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Paul McMahon

This article says that Paul McMahon as at some point related to In-Q-Tel but the hot link points me to an article about a cricket player. I may be wrong but I suspect this is a different Paul McMahon. am I right?--Matt D (talk) 06:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Also Stephen Friedman links too a disambig page where there are two potential candidates but neither article gives any hint as too which one has worked with In-Q-Tel.--Matt D (talk) 06:14, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
