Mme Chiang's languages

There's one thing I am very curious about, though - does she know Cantonese? Mdwav 0:52, 8 Feb 2006 (UTC+8)

Interesting question. Soong May-ling was a Hainanese Hakka born in Shanghai whose father lived a Cantonese Chinatown. That's four possibilities so far. She was also a translator for her Wu native husband who, along with Soong Mayling's father, likely also used Cantonese as it was the language of early Kuomintang. However, her formal eduaction was in English so I wonder how well she knew any of them? Post it to the article when you find out. - AjaxSmack 03:05, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Msnshell.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Msnshell.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:376218 front.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:376218 front.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Project FMF (talk) 02:19, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:SMCC Badge.png

Thanks for uploading Image:SMCC Badge.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:50, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
