[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Meeting of Irap president Jalal Talabani with supreme leader of Iran Khamenei.gif

Image:Meeting of Irap president Jalal Talabani with supreme leader of Iran Khamenei.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 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.

[edit] Page name

May I ask, why is the page named Diplomatic tensions between Iran and the United States, and not Diplomatic tensions between the United States and Iran? Iran has expressed a willingness to sit down and talk with the United States; while the U.S. has repeatedly rejected and blocked such moves. I propose renaming this page, as above. What do other editors say? smb 22:24, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

What you say about which side is trying diplomacy is correct based on externally sourced references which anyone can find fairly easily, but i don't really see a difference between "between A and B" and "between B and A" - i don't think the order suggests which one is the cause of the tensions.

[edit] Merger Proposal

I propose to merge this artcile with Iran–United States relations because it is the same topic and content. Although, the present article is only part of Iran–United States relations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.116.251.98 (talk) 17:48, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Support due to the large overlap between the topics. CopaceticThought (talk) 00:13, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Oppose It is a more focused coverage of one story. Iran-US relation is an article that is to cover many stories and we do not want to make it too long. Sinooher (talk) 07:06, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
