[edit] Nickname

I removed the nickname from the infobox. The only part of West Des Moines that is known as "Valley Junction" is the Historic Valley Junction area, and as far as I know WDM has no official nickname. Considering that the name change happened nearly 70 years ago, and considering that the city is much larger now than it was then, I think one would be hard-pressed to find someone who calls the entire city "Valley Junction." --Iowahwyman 00:23, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:WestDMsLogo.gif

Image:WestDMsLogo.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 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.
