[edit] History

Does anyone know more about the history of loyola that would like to contribute to the article? The history that i have gathered is very incomplete and truncated.--Samwisep86 21:22, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Library Image by User:Matt605

Matt605, the anon user was right in removing the self credit. Although Image:Loyola nola monroe library.JPG is a fine picture, the Wikipedia:Image use policy (User-created images section) states: "All photo credit should be in a summary on the image description page." Hence, the basis for a revert.

You also state that the picture was "intended to appear as credited when uploaded." Unfortunately having released the image into public domain you grant everyone the permission to use your image for whatever purpose they see fit. People don’t even have to appropriatly credit you.

Please read this- License selection to preserve your rights in the future. For example, a CreativeCommons license requires attribution to the author. Best regards, --Riurik 05:04, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

You're right. I do not dispute the legality of any use of images I have released. I never have.Matt605 17:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Ok. Do you want to incorporate your pic back into the article?--Riurik 18:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Loyolaseal.gif

Image:Loyolaseal.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 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 04:43, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaced seal with logo

I boldly replaced the Loyola University New Orleans seal with the logo. It is more in line with other University pages and Loyola's own branding policies [1]. See Tulane University, Loyola University Chicago, Harvard University. I cited the image according to all necessary fair use rules. Eclectek C T 00:21, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
