Fair use rationale for Image:Blacktou.JPG[edit]

Image:Blacktou.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 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.

Pictures[edit]

Hey I've always been interested in what an Australian version of a S.W.A.T van (AKA S.P.G unit) would look like. I think it would also add some colour to the article. If anyone could find one, properly licensed of course then that would be great. -1348- 18:04, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to status of SPG also change of SPSU name[edit]

Hi @YEPPOON: In the introduction, you made this edit on 8 November 2019 rewording the SPG "is part of the Specialist Operations division of the New South Wales Police Force" to "was part of the Counter Terrorism & Special Tactics Command of the New South Wales Police Force". I think division was meant to be Command - Specialist Operations Command. The NSWPF website has the SPG as part of the Counter Terrorism & Special Tactics Command.^[1] The Counter Terrorism & Special Tactics Command (CTST) is part of Investigations & Counter Terrorism overseen by a Deputy Commissioner from the Annual Report.^[2] On 13 June 2019, you made this edit renaming the SPSU to TORS, do you have a source for "With changes within TOU in 2018 SPSU were renamed TORS"?. The citation you added is for a NSWPF media release dated August 2018 that makes no mention of unit renaming or the year it is occurred.^[3]--Melbguy05 (talk) 15:00, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Melbguy05:

It's now TORS and not SPSU.

Technically it's now TOG and not SPG despite what the NSWPF website says as it hasn't been updated with the 2018 changes. (talk)17:05, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
