Fair use rationale for Image:San Martin Region COA.png

Image:San Martin Region COA.png 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 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.BetacommandBot 22:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How high?

I'd like to know the altitute of this city. Anyone know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aidanb (talk • contribs) 04:29, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

356 meters above sea level. I'll put it in the article now with citation. --Jeffrey Scott Maxwell (talk) 17:29, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MISTAKES!!!

Extensive parts of this article were obviously written by someone with a Spanish-language background - it is totally unintelligible. Thus, the article needs to be re-written with accurate sources and in proper English. One word was not even translated into English!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.81.172.120 (talk) 04:08, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All or part of the article was obviously machine translated by someone who doesn't know English. I have started working on this today. There are no citations, so it might take me some time to figure out from where the original came so I can make a decent translation. --Jeffrey Scott Maxwell (talk) 16:37, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

External Link Question

I wasn't sure if I could add tarapotolife.com as an external link. I am an English freelance writer living in Tarapoto (2 years approx) and Tarapoto Life is one of my projects. I know that blogs tend to be frowned upon as external links, but the site is arguably one of the most informative Tarapoto resources available online in English (I'm a bit biased, obviously). Any ideas if it could be included as an external link on the Wikipedia entry? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chontawood (talk • contribs) 22:58, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I live in Tarapoto also, since April 2007. Apparently no one cares, because they haven't taken it off yet. I support the presence of this external link here, especially since it is not being used as a source for text in the article. Jeffrey Scott Maxwell (talk) 05:52, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
