Fair use rationale for Image:Shape big.gif
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Shape big.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 03:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
US led
[edit]i wondered if there any information on why its always US led? is it part of the Nato constitution that an american has to be in command? or has it just worked out that way? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.104.87 (talk) 18:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- These decisions on which nation gets which slot are the product of internal NATO horse-trading, from the 1950s to this day. Both SACEUR and SACLANT, it was agreed in the early 1950s, were to be American officers, and it has to be remembered that when the decisions were taken European forces were still in their rebuilding stages after World War II. The Chairman of the Military Committee and Secretary-General of NATO are always Europeans. Buckshot06 (talk) 10:35, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Note that after France rejoined the Command Structure, SACT (who used to be SACLANT until the command structure reform in 2006) became the French Air Force General Stéphane Abrial on 29 July 2009. Jackieeaton 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with File:Andrew Goodpaster NATO photo.jpg
[edit]The image File:Andrew Goodpaster NATO photo.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
- That this article is linked to from the image description page.
The following images also have this problem:

Happy Birthday SHAPE
[edit]Le commandant suprême des forces alliées en Europe (SACEUR), l’amiral américain James Stavridis, a présidé vendredi une cérémonie célébrant le 60ème anniversaire du grand quartier général des Forces alliées en Europe (SHAPE), 44 ans après son installation en Belgique, selon Soir.
Après le retrait de la France du commandement militaire de l’OTAN décidé par le général Charles de Gaulle, le SHAPE a déménagé. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.81.20.127 (talk) 20:32, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Orphaned references in Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe
[edit]I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Flight1":
- From Exercise Mainbrace: "The NATO Exercises, Part 1" Flight (September 26, 1952) p. 402-404.
- From Allied Joint Force Command Naples: "The NATO Exercises, Part 1" Flight (September 26, 1952) p. 402-404
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 00:39, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Article Organization
[edit]I would like to point out that this article has two reference sections. I do not believe this is a generally accepted practice for Wikipedia articles. If I am mistaken, please feel free to correct me. 27.125.165.242 (talk) 18:09, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
