[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:VPD patch reg.png

Image:VPD patch reg.png 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] shame

hahahaha they still have the ER sign for the police symbol. Canada = UK number 2. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.218.215.142 (talk) 02:09:01, August 18, 2007 (UTC)


There's no ER sign (which I think you meant "EIIR" (Royal Cypher) on VPD logo. There is the crown which symbolizes that the police force derives its authority from the Crown, the Queen of Canada. It is very common for British Realm's police force to have Royal crown as part of the symbol.--Cahk 10:09, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
