[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Commissioner Welch.jpg

Image:Commissioner Welch.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 22:02, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

There is another Jeffrey Welch link in John D. Arnold. Centaurus Energy is located in Texas, and Jeffrey M. Welch is in Plymouth county, MASS. --Dchem 20:46, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it should be moved. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). --Boricuaeddie ^hábleme 16:33, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Oppose per Boricuaeddie. I read the policy page. The upshot must be that we will (one day) have *two* Jeffrey Welches, one Jeffrey Welch (politician) and another Jeffrey Welch (American investor). We should pick the better known one and have him be Jeffrey Welch. The lesser-known one will be cited in a hatnote on the better-known guy's page. In either case, we would *not* make the move being proposed here to rename the politician's page to Jeffrey M. Welch. Until the financial guy gets his own page, we don't have to do anything, since there would be no point in making a hatnote just for a redlink to an article that doesn't exist yet.

Hoping that no-one would mind, I went ahead and changed the link to Jeffrey Welch in the John D. Arnold article, piping it to Jeffrey Welch (American investor), so that whoever clicks on the red link will be getting a usable title for a new article, rather than a link to the wrong guy in Massachusetts. Feel free to revert this change if it's not appropriate. EdJohnston 04:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. --Stemonitis 06:13, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
