Fair use rationale for Image:Mississaugacoa.gif edit

 

Image:Mississaugacoa.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 04:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Infobox junction list edit

With 26 junctions, the infobox far exceeds the generally-accepted maximum of 10. I think the list should be trimmed down to current and former provincial highways and municipal freeways. Any thoughts? - Floydian τ ¢ 17:55, 3 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

WHat happened to my edits? edit

They weren't vandalism for sure 76.9.209.218 (talk) 18:53, 21 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

They weren't productive either. "a recent change many motorists believe is unnecessary and ridiculous" cited to Google Maps is both unencyclopedic and an opinion. - Floydian τ ¢ 15:59, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
