[edit] Some remarks

• I thought about and decided against moving this page under the title of "Ankara cat" for the simple reason that Google gave 28,200 hits for "Turkish Angora", and 173 hits for "Ankara cat". So, Turkish Angora it is. Ankara cat redirects, and there's also a link from Angora.
• British Angora cat is not related to the Angora Cat (also known as "Turkish Angora", "Ankara cat", etc.). It is a man-made breed originated in Britain in mid 20th century, based on Java/Bali cats.

• I completely agree with all of the behavioral characteristics - my cat exhibits every one! --JTA 16:52, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Ankara Cats doesn't have odd eyes. Van cats have. <-- wrong, they may have, it happens often for white ankara cats (C. Arnoux)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ErnstStavroBlofeld.jpg

Image:ErnstStavroBlofeld.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.
