Fair use rationale for Image:Tnlogo.png

Image:Tnlogo.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 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.

Origins of name Avadi

There was a British military installation here during World War II (contrary to the article), which gave rise to the acronym explanation for the name. Against this we have the Tamil explanation. But surely someone must know whether the place was called Avadi before the 1940s? Its not that long ago. Johnbax (talk) 10:09, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

City Corporation and Neighbourhoods

Avadi has been a City Corporation for four years.It would be informative to add mention of important neighbourhoods within the City. Raghavan(Talk) 07:24, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
