[edit] Liliuokalani
Shouldn't this be be clarified as "deposed Queen Liliʻuokalani"? --Gadget850 ( Ed) 18:27, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'm trying to find an answer over at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles), although the exceptions make this more confusing. These types of problems are supposed to be worked out in Wikipedia:WikiProject_Hawaii/Manual_of_Style. I'll have someone else take a look, but my guess is that we just remove the Queen in the title. —Viriditas | Talk 19:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

- I wasn't trying to make a long dialog on this. It was just knowing that Hawaii was a republic in the 1890s and Scouting started in 1907, the title of queen seemed out of place. "Former" or "deposed" would certainly work here. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 20:03, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, the question is, does a Polynesian monarch retain their title when their country is annexed? If you take a look at official government documents like Liliuokalani_v._The_United_States, the government refers to her as "former" and "ex-queen", but considering that this is the same government that overthrew her, I'm not sure if she retained her title or not. Like I said, I think it's best to just remove the Queen in the title for now. After all, that's the name we use for the actual article. There is no need to state that she was former or deposed until we find out if Polynesian monarchs retain their titles. I suspect that they don't, but I just don't know. —Viriditas | Talk 05:24, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Aloha--GuamChamorroCouncilround.jpg
Image:Aloha--GuamChamorroCouncilround.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
