kairouan is not a holy city... this is stories for tourists

[edit] NPOV

I cannot really see how calling it a holy city isn't POV; saying that it is regarded as holy by Muslims is NPOV. What is the objection to the latter? --Phronima 17:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi:) Their is nothing wrong with the latter except that it is an unnecessary circumlocation. i would say holy city is a perfectly acceptable NPOV term IMO. It simply describes a class of cities, like beach resorts, administrative centres, pilgimage centres, etc. It is not making any judgement about the validity of the religion in question. Jerusalem, Mecca, Varanasi etc, etc, are holy cities in the sense that that is their role in the world. What sort of city is Oxford? It is a university city. What sort of city is Varanasi? It is a holy city. Maybe all Hindus are deluded but that is irrelevant. Jameswilson 23:08, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Armoirie kairouan.jpg

Image:Armoirie kairouan.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.

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 19:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
