Fair use for Kandy[edit]

This image, Image:Kandy Coat of Arms.JPG, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Cossde (talk) 02:20, 23 January 2009 (UTC)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of symbol;
2. it is not being used for commercial use, which is against the terms of use
3. the image is only being used for informational purposes.
4. the image portrays Canada, for which it is being included in
5. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it portrays the official symbol of the principle subject of this article.
