I don't like this song very much. I like the subject matter, but it's way to flag-wavy and pompous. Like something that the French would make.

This newspaper is not just a wartime entity. This should be mentioned. It is published in Europe and Pacific editions and still exists today. It's the main newspaper on the different installations. Mike H 03:04, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright Status

What is the copyright status for media and images from Stars and Stripes? The official disclaimer states[1]:

"Stories and photos by Stars and Stripes staffers are copyrighted, and may not be reprinted or used without permission."

This is the disclaimer for reprinting the articles. However, I was under the impression that the newspaper was Department-of-Defense funded, and therefore a Work_of_the_United_States_Government. So, should this template (below) apply?

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States Federal Government under the terms of Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 105 of the US Code. See Copyright.
Note: This only applies to works of the Federal Government and not to the work of any individual U.S. state, territory, commonwealth, county, municipality, or any other subdivision.

The copyright notice is here; it makes it pretty clear that the contents are fully copyrighted and not in the public domain. —An gr 20:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. It seems that the newspaper is "authorized" by the DoD, but it doesn't qualitfy as "work of the government." I've erred on the side of caution thus far, so I don't think I need to hunt down any articles or images... Nimur 15:44, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Just a quick note; the license on the image was incorrectly changed to a PD license after a warning from BetacommandBot, so per the disclaimer on the website I've changed it back to a copyright notice and added a fair use rationale per WP:NFC. In addition, since the image was a little too large to qualify for the "minimal extent of use" criteria of WP:NFCC, I tagged it with {{Non-free reduce}} and it was subsequently resized by User:Melesse. --jonny-m t 07:19, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Stars and Stripes front page.jpg

Image:Stars and Stripes front page.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.
