Fair use rationale for Image:Projectaware.gif

Image:Projectaware.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 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 04:31, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Added a fair use rationale to the Image page. - Fordan (talk) 13:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Copyright violation

The entire article as it now exists is almost certainly a copy and paste copyright violation as follows:

• Lead is a copy of text from http://www.projectaware.org/english/default_international.aspx and http://www.projectaware.org/english/about_us/our_history.aspx
• "Education, Advocacy, and Action" is a copy of text from http://www.projectaware.org.uk/english/about_us/default.aspx
• The major part of "Grants" is a copy of text from http://www.projectaware.org/english/grants/grant_information.aspx

I discovered the above when trying to create references for this article. I have completed the referencing to help save the article, but unless the text is donated under CC-by-SA licence, or completely re-written in the author's own words, I fear it will be deleted as a copyvio. --RexxS (talk) 18:02, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

For the moment, I've reverted the article to the version as of 17 May 2007 as the next edit introduced copyright violations. This is as instructed at WP:COPYVIO#Dealing with copyright violations: "If all of the content of a page appears to be a copyright infringement, check the page history; if an older non-infringing version of the page exists, you should revert the page to that version." --RexxS (talk) 18:15, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Page updated as of 22 October 2009, by a member of the Project AWARE Foundation staff. Previous article was not entirely correct as it was referring to old information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiskerson (talk • contribs) 23:51, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the latest update is still a copy & paste of http://www.projectaware.org/english/default_international.aspx http://www.projectaware.org/english/about_us/our_history.aspx and http://www.projectaware.org/english/about_us/our_accomplishments.aspx - all of which is "© Project AWARE Foundation 2008. All Rights Reserved" and therefore not usable in Wikipedia as I explained above. I have reluctantly had to revert the update. --RexxS (talk) 00:37, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Update to entry

I'm associated with Project Aware, so I wanted to request that some changes be made to this entry. As of June, 2011, the organization is focused on two programs = shark conservation and marine debris (there's more information here: http://www.projectaware.org/issues). They're encouraging their members to run marine debris dives where divers collect trash and log the related data on ProjectAware.org. Here's a news piece which refers to this new Dive Against Debris program: http://gozonews.com/18539/dive-against-debris-in-marsalforn-collects-25kg-of-waste/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbarefoot (talk • contribs) 05:28, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
