Fair use rationale for File:Piemonte Bandiera.png edit
File:Piemonte Bandiera.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 non-free use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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.
Major inconsistencies edit
1. The text of the Italian version of this article stated that the flag was adopted in 1984. This version in says the year is 1995. The document entitled Regione Piemonte: stemma, gonfalone e bandiera at page 3 says "Lo stemma e il gonfalone sono stati adottati dalla Regione Piemonte nel 1984, la bandiera nel 1995" which translates to "The coat of arms and the gonfalone have been adopted by the Region of Piedmont in 1984, the flag in 1995". I corrected the date for the Italian version of this article and used 1995.
2. The first reference, "Flag Identifier" shows the blue border and it's labeled as the "current flag" which I interpret as the official flag but the image on the right says "Common alternate of the official flag of Piedmont". This is even more confusing when the text says "Two versions exist of the Piedmontese flag: one with a blue border, and one without a blue border. The latest version, officially adopted in 1995" because it claims the version of the flag without blue border was officially adopted. This makes one wonder if the one with the blue border was discarded. On top of this, to complicate things even more, the majority of flags I have seen in 20+ years of living in Piedmont look like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b9/Flag_of_Piedmont.svg. Somebody needs to clarify these major inconsistencies.
