[edit] Requested move

This article has now been moved despite not discussion has been taken. The reasons for which it was moved, as I see it, was that Macao itself is not a sovereign state [1], and the word "national" was therefore considered by the user who moved the article as incorrect (the user also has a past record to equate country with sovereign state, and asserts only sovereign states are countries). The user who have moved this article has no intention to nominate it for discussion, and has declined to restore it to the original title [2] to allow a discussion to take place.

The user who moved this article has also moved Guam national football team (talk) and was one of those involved in moving Hong Kong national football team (talk) based on the same reasons. — Instantnood 18:45, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

• Oppose the move. The English word "national" is not exclusively for sovereign states. The word is not always used in a manner that stick with the definitions of "nation". Please don't equate "nation", "country" and "sovereign state". — Instantnood 18:45, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. Reasons similar to those given above by Instantnood and those given by me in Talk:Guam national football team and Talk:Hong Kong national football team. Plus, I've never heard of Macau's team being called 澳門地區足球隊 in Chinese. Chanheigeorge 19:41, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. Dragons flight 00:09, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Oldmacauflag.PNG

Image:Oldmacauflag.PNG 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.
