[edit] Criticism

A criticism section should be added to this article. For many years now (and especially in the 80s) the lab was the site of numerous large anti-nuclear demonstrations. Furthermore, the lab's environmental/accident record is far from spotless. Tri-Valley CAREs is a local organization that has for the past 24 years acted as a watchdog on the lab and opposed its military agenda. I currently work for Tri-Valley CAREs. I have added a link to us in the 'External links and sources' but am loathe to do more because of conflict of interest. More should be done to reflect the at times controversial nature of the lab, its relationship and the fact that it designs nukes -- currently the first of the RRW. jdevries 19:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there's any downplaying of "It designs nukes" in the article now...

A criticism section including links to Tri-Valley CAREs would be appropriate, in my opinion. Why don't you open a new subsection here on the talk page and propose what you'd like to see in the article? We can discuss and work on it here on the talk page without any Conflict of Interest issues. Georgewilliamherbert 22:08, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Llnl 01.jpg

Image:Llnl 01.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 ensure 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.
