Fair use rationale for Image:Unihav.jpg[edit]

Image:Unihav.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 Wikipedia articles 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 15:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

University of Havana - frredom of research[edit]

The University of Havana isn't a standard university. It is fully controlled by the Communist government. The ideology influences all social research, historiography, culture and also social life of students and exchange with foreign universities.Xx236 10:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Julio Antonio Mella[edit]

Mella wasn't killed "at the hands of police during a riot outside the University", as it says here. He was killed in Mexico, and circumstances of his deaths are still unclear.

Lack of or poor sources in opening and History sections[edit]

The opening makes several statements regarding the naming and founding of the university, but the only citation included links to a student study abroad informational pages. I do not believe this is an appropriately authoritative source. The history section also begins with "It was first called Real y Pontificia Universidad de San Gerónimo de la Habana (in English Royal and Pontifical University of Saint Jerome of Havana). During those times, universities needed a royal or papal authorization in order to be created and thus the names Real y Pontificia. The two men who gave that authorization to the university were Pope Innocent XIII and King Philip V of Spain[citation needed]." No real sources are cited, and the inclusion of the phrase "During those times..." when no time period has been specified, is confusing. --Roryjm0 (talk) 02:44, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
