Talk:Caister (Retreat Conference)

message: :Image:Caister2007-lowres.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 Wikipedia articles 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 19:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear anonymous editor - your rather silly rant (above) is a prime example of why people should refrain from commenting on subjects about which they know nothing. "Anglo-Catholic" is indeed a compound noun in common use, and is descriptive of one of the principle 'parties' (churchmanship groups) of world-wide Anglicanism. Anglo-catholicism is the direct descendant of the Oxford Movement and Tractarianism in Victorian church life, and has arguably been one of the two greatest influences on modern Anglican thought and practice world-wide. In reference to your closing comments, "Anglo-Catholic" has nothing to do with either England or the Roman Catholic Church, except (in each case) in the most historical of senses. You have rather missed the point about the meaning of the word "Catholic" (both in general terms, where it has a broad meaning, and in strict legal terms, where in England it refers to the Anglican Church, Established by law as the Catholic Church of the land, and not to be confused with the Roman Catholic denomination which is legally, in England, a non-conformist sect). I suspect you have failed to understand very much about this article at all. I would suggest some extensive background reading on English Church history in particular, and Anglicanism in general. After that, come back and read this article again. Timothy Titus Talk To TT 21:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Caister2007-lowres.jpg

message: Is this actually a composite noun in general use, and if it is, why does should an event organised and primarily attended by Anglican denominations' representatives be "strongly" Catholic? And for crying out loud, doesn't anyone use capitalisation any more? Was there a memo I missed, or is the whole world officially illiterate now?
I suppose I shall also have to point out the futile redundancy of an event in England involving Catholics being described as "Anglo-Catholic". Keep your noun-waving to yourselves and try description.
