Non-free media information and use rationale true for Wednesfield
Description	The coat of arms of the former Wednesfield Urban District Council.
Source	File taken from civicheraldry.co.uk, with permission (see about the civic heraldry images...).
Article	Wednesfield
Portion used	All of the emblem, to avoid misrepresenation.
Low resolution?	yes
Purpose of use	The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article or used in the infobox thereof. It illustrates the Wednesfield article and is used as evidence that the council was granted a coat of arms. It is also significant because it is a part of Wednesfield's civic history.
Replaceable?	Not possible. This could infringe upon the design.
Other information	There is no free-image equivalent that can be used to accurately portray the crest's design. It is being used only for informative purposes. This meets the media-specific policy requirements. The image is used in at least one article. The image does not detract from the reputation of the urban district council. The material contributes to the article by specifically illustrating a relevant section within the text about the heritage of the municipality. The display of coats of arms is only restricted by the College of Arms if the bearing misappropriates it to the wrong person/organisation (which is not the case here). The material is encyclopedic and otherwise meets general Wikipedia content requirements. No free or public domain images have been located describing the subject of the article. The urban district council was abolished in 1966.
