[edit]

It seems to me that the Divine Word Missionaries article should be merged into this article. Comments? John Rigali 00:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, from what I've gathered, the actual name of this missionary order is Society of the Divine Word (without "Missionaries" at the end). I think that the article should be renamed at some point to reflect this. John Rigali 00:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with two provisions:

1. That the emphasis be on the 'svd' aspect. This Catholic order of priests and brothers is properly called the Society of the Divine Word - hence their Latin initials.

2. The terms Steyler Fathers is of limited and restricted currency and should not be the major focus. Roger 03:34, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Holy Name University

[edit]

Holy Name University (HNU), formerly the Divine Word College of Tagbilaran, is an institution of higher learning, run by the Society of the Divine Word or SVD, in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines. While it can be discussed under Society of the Divine Word or Divine Word Missionaries, education being one of its missions as a congregation, HNU needs a separate article. I would like to volunteer to work on it. How to redirect?Guest818 06:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Matthew-25-logo.jpg

[edit]

Image:Matthew-25-logo.jpg 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 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.
