[edit] Discussion

Add any additional comments:
  • AFAIAA their candidates use the full, legal title - "Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party" - on ballot papers, which is a fairly fundamental location: all their representatives are thus elected under that banner. Can anyone confirm/disprove/shed further light on usage on ballot papers? Is this now discontinued? When and why? What are candidates using on 3 May? --Mais oui! 07:35, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Im not sure if they dropped it when Dave was rebranding them as a nice party but there seems to be no mention of the title on either the Scottish or the British websites and they are always referred to as the Scottish Tories in the press and the British party is at its most common name rather than its offical one (Conservative and Unionist Party) --Barry O'Brien entretien 13:55, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:ScottishTories.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.
