Fair use rationale for Image:Coast guard flag.gif[edit]

Image:Coast guard flag.gif 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 Wikipedia articles 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 06:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Issues with accuracy and importance[edit]

I have several issues with the accuracy and importance of several items in the article. This article is about the historic 1891 Coast Guard station, which is no longer used by the Coast Guard. The Department of Defense exchanged it for another building in 1932, so it hasn't been used by the Coast Guard for decades.

1. Maybe this is OK in some sense, but were they talking about fuel efficient vehicles at this time?

2. The 1961 break-in by Hemmingway - neither the author or the title of the reference are listed in Amazon, making it dubious.

3. The part about women's restrooms being installed in 2011 and going unused is dubious.

4. The zoo animals in 2013 - by then I'm pretty sure this building was no longer used by the Coast Guard.

5. What is the significance of the 2016 hot dog eating contest, and did it even take place at this building? It is mentioned in the history and has its own section, which seems dubious.

6. The petition to have the 2017 presidential inauguration there is dubious - it is always held in Washington, DC.

7. The "Weaponry" section - this doesn't apply to the building in the article.

8. In the "importance" section, (a) Cuban immigration doesn't apply to this building, and (b) the buoy repair and inexpensive gay nightclub are dubious and may not be significant.

9. The "Fishing records" section - this doesn't seem to apply to this building.

10. The photo of the small Coast Guard boat is not relevant to this building.

11. This building is at the intersection of Front and Whitehead, not the street the article says. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 16:50, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You're too kind. The whole smells enough of a hoax to me that I deleted it all straight away, as you did. I'll keep an eye on the article - if the stuff keeps appearing I'll protect it for a bit. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 19:21, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
