Seal of the Governor of Puerto Rico

With no previous discussion, someone removed the image of the Seal of the Governor of Puerto Rico. Users should have been allowed to comment on whether or not the seal should stay or go. If for no other reason, the seal should STAY because it makes the page much more visually attractive and is pertinent to the subject of the page. Remember, a page like this is downloaded and printed by schoolchildren looking for information for their school assignments and we can provide more thanm simply dry, staid text. I'd like to hear what others think. Pr4ever (talk) 10:53, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Looking at it from a purely uniformity viewpoint, it does not appear that any other state or territorial governor has the seal of his or her office or state in their article either, nor does Obama's. Just a thought. The Original Historygeek (talk) 15:19, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

• I am always in favor of the use of the seals and emblems which represent the subjects discussed in their respective articles. In this case, of course I would agree that the seal should stay, however there is one small detail and that is that the image in question is not "public domain". The person who removed the image of the seal from the article stated the following: "No rationale for use in this article". Therefore, if an image of the seal is going to be used in the Honorable Fortuño's article, a PD image should be uploaded or in this case a "rationale" of usage in the article should be added in the image's page. Here is an example of a rationale that can be used:

Rationale for use in Luis Fortuño 1. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the Governor of Puerto Rico, a subject of public interest.
