Talk:Darien, Illinois

Fair use rationale for Image:Dariensign.jpg

Image:Dariensign.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 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 01:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

bug in Wikipedia software said I removed categories

I just made some edits. I added references to the history section, and I changed some wording. When I clicked "done", a pop-up box said that I was deleting categories. I went back after my edit and looked at the categories that were on the page, and then I put them back in.

So, just to be clear: I did not delete the categories. I wouldn't have any reason to. It's a Wikipedia bug.

History section seems to have a lot of text just copied and pasted from city's website

I went in and added a source to almost all of the paragraphs in the History section, which were unreferenced. The source is the city's website. When I was doing that, I noticed that a lot of the text in the History section seemed to be either identical or very similar to the city's website. I'm new to Wikipedia, but I know that we are supposed to rewrite source material in our own words. I'll try to go through and rewrite, but if anyone else can join in, that would be great. And maybe if the person who originally put the copied text on the page is still on Wikipedia, someone could send them a note saying don't do that?
