Stupid Political Correctness[edit]

"have been numerous allegations that the motif was chosen, deliberately or subconsciously, as a representation of or reference to Mary, something which would be offensive to the significant Protestant, Muslim, atheist and Jewish popultaions of the EU."

This is a particularly silly statement. Unfortunately the author is probably paraphrasing the response of an EU official when quizzed on this matter: being a protestant, I just find the assumption that such a motif would be 'offensive', extremely irritating, and indeed insulting to my intelligence. So what if the EU flag subtly (or indeed accidentally?) acknowledges Europe's roman catholic heritage - why should I find it offensive?!

Let me just digress for a moment. To deny that 'european civilization' is based to a great extent on roman catholicism is to deny reality. Like so much of the rest of the institution of the EU, the conception of Europeanism is simply born out of the ill-thought-through incoherent ideas of an Eurocratic elite, pandering to the fashions of political correctness. I'm sorry for the rant! 172.206.81.190 00:37, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Moder Svea.jpg[edit]

Image:Moder Svea.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

reference[edit]

"Since the circle of twelve stars was chosen as the flag of the European Union, there have been numerous allegations that the motif was chosen, deliberately or subconsciously, as a representation of or reference to Mary, something which would be offensive to the significant Protestant, Muslim, atheist, and Jewish populations of the EU.[5] " the reference at the end of the sentence contains NONE of the statements in the sentence78.29.210.205 (talk) 21:25, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
