License tagging for Image:Fct logo.png edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Fct logo.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 14:07, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Fct logo.png edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Fct logo.png. 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. Sdrtirs (talk) 00:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Informatics engineering edit

Hello, I don't think this page should exist, because, as the articles stated the term "informatics engineer" is a literal translation of a foreign term and doesn't exist in the English language.

Furthermore, the article currently doesn't cite any reliable sources and doens't succeed in explaining to me exactly what an "informatics engineer" is supposed to be to me. —Ruud 22:42, 14 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'll grant that a literal translation of a term that doesn't exist in English is generally not pertinent and indeed I'd prefer that the article wouldn't exist at all rather than having it redirect to Computer engineering. The problem here is that without a linguistic or computing authority regulating proper translation to English of these degrees, "informatics engineer" is the official translation to English as used by some universities. They're therefore in usage in English and one can hardly argue those translations are "wrong".
That's why a disambiguation page is needed here IMO. In Portugal they refer to computer science-based degrees and in Italy, for instance, to computer engineering.
Maybe the best is a more laconic disambiguation page stating simply:
"Informatics engineering may refer to:
- Computer science degree [link to a Portuguese university as source]
- Computer engineering degree [link to an Italian university as source]"
