Fair use rationale for Image:OldUCRlogo.gif[edit]

Image:OldUCRlogo.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 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.

Removing clear violation of policy Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view[edit]

I'm taking out the sections about the land acknowledgement statement again. That's a clear violation of certain principles of core Wikipedia policies which have been in place for almost two decades.

In "What Wikipedia is not," one of the community's longstanding principles is that "Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion," which means that "Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing." Under that, the first proscribed item is: "Advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment of any kind: commercial, political, scientific, religious, national, sports-related, or otherwise." In "Neutral point of view," we have a section on "due and undue weight", including the following: "Undue weight can be given in several ways, including but not limited to the depth of detail, the quantity of text, prominence of placement, the juxtaposition of statements, and the use of imagery."

Quoting a very large part of a land acknowledgement statement in an article on a university's history is inconsistent with these policies. Such large quotes are appropriate only for an article about the statement itself (which would have to pass muster under Wikipedia:Notability).

I agree that land acknowledgement statements deserve mention in coverage of a university's history. The correct way to do that in Wikipedia style is a sentence saying that on X date the university adopted a statement (situated in the portion of the history when the university adopted the statement, not at the portion of any underlying events to which it may refer), and then another sentence or two summarizing the key points of the statement. All should be backed up with citations to the relevant news coverage and to the Web page where the statement can be found. Coolcaesar (talk) 16:30, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
