The "Aims of the SADC" section really needs cleanup and probably some restructuring. Do we also need the whole table under "General"? Elf-friend 12:36, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sadc logo.gif

Image:Sadc logo.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 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.

[edit] "Sadec"

I think it's worth mentioning that SADC is normally (certainly in South African news) treated as a quasi-acronym and pronounced something like "sadeck" (with a short "a"). I'm not sure how to enter it properly though. I'm having enough trouble explaining how it's said here... Warrickball (talk) 16:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
