Fair use rationale for Image:Hyattsville Seal.gif[edit]

Image:Hyattsville Seal.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 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.BetacommandBot 00:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

City Flag[edit]

I am trying to get a good image and description of the flag to include with the article, but in the meantime I wanted to make sure I didn't misplace this information: "The City of Hyattsville flag was first flown on Sept. 20, 1975, at Magruder Park in a ceremony attended by local civic officials, churches, schools, and the winners of the flag design contest."Hyattsville Celebrates 120 Years: Hyattsville History" (PDF).

demographics don't add up[edit]

It reads that the population percentages are 35% African-American, 34% Hispanic, and 33% Caucasian. Then it states that there is some 21% 'Other'. Just working with the first three at roughly ~1/3 each, that's essentially 100%. 'Two or more' races are already accounted for at 4%. What is the section trying to say?72.174.131.123 (talk) 07:07, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hispanic ethnicity is independent from African American, Caucasian, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Native American, etc. The Census asks race as one question and ethnicity (Hispanic or not) as a separate one. It should be understood as 35% African American, 33% Caucasian, 21% Other, etc., and of all those people, 34% are also Hispanic. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 15:16, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
But... the Census will also state that 'Hispanic' can be of any race. Thus, it actually wouldn't necessarily be independent from African-American or Caucasian. That's also assuming that Latinos are absent in the count, which is categorically false. I think 'Hispanic' here may account for 'Latino' - a people that have their own ethnic groups which are being lumped together confusingly on the page.72.174.131.123 (talk) 17:24, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. You're correct that the Census tracks "Hispanic" as being of any "race," but there's no Latino "race" tracked. It's two different questions, so while someone may report their "race" as Latino or Hispanic, the Census would count that as "Other" (because it's not one of the official boxes (Black, white, AAPI, Native American/Alaskan Native, Two or More Races, etc.). Regardless of which "race" is selected, if they say "yes" to the Hispanic ethnicity question, they are counted as Hispanic/Latino. The way it shows in the table is confusing in that regard, but the text (which parallels how demographics are reported in similar articles) is clearer. I'm going to be bold and just delete the table. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 13:44, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Content removal[edit]

A lot of content was removed in a series of edits shown here. I think the lost of mayors should be restored. Not sure on presidents of the board of commissioners? Some of the other content also looks worth including about the mailing area and crime statistics, architecture, and other aspects of the area's history and architecture.
