Fair use rationale for Image:JackHensley.PNG

[edit]

Image:JackHensley.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 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.BetacommandBot 21:47, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The image Image:Keith Maupin.April 16, 2004 image video.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
  • That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Snipers / Targeting medics:

[edit]

Quote:

Iraqi government or rival sectarian medical personnel and ambulances are not assured safety from snipers as seen during 2005 in a now famous video of an attempted kill on a US army medic.

Kind of medic that are not to be targeted are ones UNARMED, marked by RED CROSS MARKINGS, this dude is armed in the video IIRC M4 carbine and certainly no red crosses to be seen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.154.197.124 (talk) 09:20, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In my own military experience, army medics are most definitely armed whilst on operations. They are required, if need be, to defend themselves and any casualties they may have. It has been discussed on a few UK armed forces forums that Red Cross markings on Medics in Afghanistan are a unnecessary 'marker' for snipers to pick off essential medical personnel. --Panzer71 (talk) 01:14, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Government/US tactics

[edit]

I came to this page expecting to find an analysis of the tactics of the US-led coalition, but there is nothing but the methods of the insurgents. Cyclopaedic (talk) 07:30, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
