Fair use rationale for Image:BISG 30 header.jpg[edit]

Image:BISG 30 header.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.

Conflicting Definitions of BISAC[edit]

This article gives two definitions of the acronym BISAC:

  • Book Industry Standards and Communications
  • Book Industry Subject and Category

Although it's technically possible that the BISG organization might use the same acronym to stand for two completely different things in different contexts, I find no evidence that they have done so. Nor is there a single occurrence of the phrase "Subject and Category" on the BISG web site.

Moreover, BISG's [BISAC f.a.q. page] explicitly answers the question "What does BISAC stand for?" with a single definition: "BISAC is an acronym for Book Industry Standards and Communications."

Therefore I am removing the alternate definition for which no authority is cited, and for which I can find no authority. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScribeMonk (talkcontribs) 23:18, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
