Fair use rationale for Image:Nlgjalogo.jpg

Image:Nlgjalogo.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.

Sources

This article needs something other than self-referenced sources. I see only one that might fit that criteria. Rklawton (talk) 15:58, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

This article fails to indicate how its subject is notable. I'm not sure that self-reported circulation numbers are sufficient. Has its publication won any awards? Has it received significant media attention, etc? I'm pretty sure it's notable, but the article actually needs to demonstrate this. Rklawton (talk) 16:02, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, OutLook has won multiple awards for publications by nonprofits. I'll add references. Oaklandnjb (talk) 23:56, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That would do it. Rklawton (talk) 22:19, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some additional references:

There are sufficient RS in the article to establish notability, especially by Outlook but here are even more. — Becksguy (talk) 08:44, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request: Page title

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Firstly, disclosing a conflict of interest - I’m the Communications and Marketing Coordinator with NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists and I’m a paid, full-time employee of the organization.

I’d like to suggest a few edits to the page, primarily in regards to the organization’s name. Within the body of the article, the full name of the organization (NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists) is given. However, it is slightly misspelled: there should be a colon where there is currently a comma, i.e. all instances of the organization's name should read "NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists" rather than "NLGJA, The Association of LGBTQ Journalists".

Likewise, I’d like to suggest/request that the title of the article be changed to reflect the organization’s full name, including the “The Association of LGBTQ Journalists” section. The development of the name into its current form is described in the third sentence of the article, and if further citations are necessary to demonstrate that “NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists” is the full, correct name of the organization, please see the following articles, all of which include the organization's full and correct name:

News Nation Now, Meet our Morning in America team: Evan Lambert! "He is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists and has participated in conferences hosted by NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists."

Business Insider, After Biden announcement, Fauci predicts 'many, many' more vaccine mandates to compel enough Americans to get COVID-19 shots "he told CNN's Jen Christensen at a panel organized by NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists on Sunday."

Human Rights Campaign, #AM_Equality: July 16, 2021 "This week, NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists (@nlgja) announced the recipients of its 2021 Excellence in Journalism Awards"

NPR, A Guide To Gender Identity Terms "We also referenced resources from the National Center for Transgender Equality, the Trans Journalists Association, NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists..."

The organization's full name is also used on all pages on the nlgja.org website.

Done. Heartmusic678 (talk) 12:26, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
