Hi,
I noticed that you moved the page Republican National Guard to Portuguese National Republican Guard by copy-pasting its content. While I don't have anything against the title change, I have something against the method that you used. Because it didn't moved the original page's history along with the content. I would like to ask you to fix this, one way could be by requesting the deletion of the article Portuguese National Republican Guard, and then by moving Republican National Guard to the new title using MediaWiki's moving feature.

Also, I would like you to know that the GNR isn't a branch of the Portuguese Armed Forces.
Thank you for your help solving this.

According to their official website — GNR, A GNR, Historial:

“

A Guarda Nacional Republicana, criada por Decreto de 3 de Maio de 1911, é uma força de Segurança constituída por militares organizados num Corpo Especial de Tropas dependendo em tempo de paz do Ministério da Administração Interna, para efeitos de recrutamento, administração e execução do serviço decorrente da sua missão geral, e do Ministério da Defesa Nacional para efeitos de uniformização e normalização da doutrina militar, do armamento e do equipamento; em caso de guerra ou em situação de crise, as forças da Guarda Nacional Republicana passarão a estar subordinadas ao Chefe do Estado-Maior General das Forças Armadas, quando nos termos da Lei estas forem colocadas na sua dependência para efeitos operacionais.

”

That is, in peacetime the GNR depends on the Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI) for recruitment, administration and execution of their general mission, and also depends on the Ministry of National Defence for the uniformity of the military doctrine, armament and equipment. And, only, in wartime or in the case of a crisis situation the GNR will be under the command of the Chief-of-Staff of the Armed Forces. Has you can see this does not make them a branch of the Armed Forces.

Regarding the USCG, it's not the same thing. It seems that the nearest thing to have the same status as the GNR is the Spanish Guardia Civil.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ImageGNR.jpeg

Image:ImageGNR.jpeg 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.
