[edit] GA nom

This is certainly not a bad article, but it needs a fair bit of work to reach GA status:

• The lead is very short. It should be at least two paragraphs.-Taken care of
• The picture needs a slightly better Fair Use Rationale and should be smaller.-Taken care of
• The image caption should not be bold.-Taken care of
• The currently section must be a lot longer and have sources.-Taken care of

However, this article definitely has a lot of potential, and certainly is informative and deserving of a GA pending fixing these issues. Laïka 10:07, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

It's looking good now. The only changes I'd still make would be giving the stamp a proper summary,-Taken care of tidying up the references (adding dates, publishers and author names), and merging a few of the lone sentences together in the legacy section to make longer paragraphs- Taken care of. Other than that, the article looks entirely passable. Laïka 19:50, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Excellent; I have no further concerns. Congratulations! Laïka 08:40, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Felicita and Gonzalo.jpg

Image:Felicita and Gonzalo.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.
