Talk:Edmund Blackadder

message: (It is possible that Captain the Lord Blackadder from The Army Years is the same modern day Lord Blackadder seen in 'Back and Forth, although no mention of military rank is made there.)''
Removed this, as it is virtually impossible. The Army Years is set in WWI, probably 1917, while Back and Forth is set in 2000, thus making it more likely that Blackadder from Back and Forth is his grandson. Bjelleklang  -  talk 11:25, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed sentence from list of Blackadders 

message: I strongly suggest the use of a picture of one of the more recognisable blackadder incarnations on the Edmund Blackadder template. While I appreciate the original Blackadder is held in high regard by cretain users on wikipedia, the first series is not highly thought of in general public circles. Also, the first blackadder does not represent the more familiar characteristics of the Blackadders (just look at his stupid face compared to the more condecending, refined look of the other 3). I personally would champion Blackadder II who seems the most recognisable. His image is used in the main wikipedia article and was the primary icon used in the Greatest Sitcom series.--Crestville 19:48, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Template

message: :Image:Prince Edmund.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 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 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.

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:BA2adder.jpg

message: It says the name 'Blackadder' is Scottish in origin. While in the first serial 'Black Adder' is a title/ nickname, Edmund was in fact revealed in S1E2 to be the illegitimate son of a Scottish nobleman, with whom the Queen (Richard IV's wife) had had an affair in her youth. Should be added.--87.255.89.160 (talk) 19:02, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
