Requested move to "Ad Astra (magazine)"[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was Moved. —Centrx→talk • 04:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I propose moving this article (currently at Ad Astra) to Ad Astra (magazine) (which is currently a redirect to Ad Astra). Reasons: Ad astra is also a phrase used as a motto by several organizations, in general writings, the name of a video game, and the name of a metal band, just to cover usage seen here on Wikipedia. People come to Ad Astra and end up putting in unrelated content, despite the disambig link at the top. We have an Ad astra article (differing only in the case of the second word), and that is pretty confusing, any which way you look at it. I think making the "magazine" qualification explict in the article title will go a long way towards clearing up confusion. --DragonHawk 00:55, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support for reasons given. -- Beardo 22:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose: The magazine comes up pretty high in a Google search and this move would add an extra click for people looking for that. Searching for "ad astra" already brings up Ad astra as one would expect. Ad astra should be featured more prominently at the top of Ad Astra and vice versa - that would sufficiently alleviate confusion IMHO. —Wknight94 (talk) 01:21, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing the move, Centrx. I think I've got all the links in Wikipedia cleaned up, now. As far as wknight94's objection goes, many other things come up for the Google search, too, and the magazine is not the first, so I would say it is more correct to disambiguate. In my link clean-up, I found many links that would have been incorrect before, so it apparently was ambiguous for many. --DragonHawk 23:05, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Emerging China, Engaging China"[edit]

Gee, if they did that story now, it would have to include "Polluting the F*** out of LEO China"... Tualha (who is pissed off at China, could you tell?) (Talk) 13:07, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:FREE ENTERPRISE.JPG[edit]

Image:FREE ENTERPRISE.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.
