message: :Image:Titfield Thunderbolt poster.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 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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Titfield Thunderbolt poster.jpg

message: Agreed that it is not 'famous' though nonetheless interesting considering what happened afterwards--Mapmark (talk) 00:23, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Being interesting isn't a sufficient reason to keep it. Notice that WP:MOSFILM doesn't have Quotes listed among its standard sections.  Exceptions have been made for such films as Casablanca, where lines have been explicitly recognized as iconic (e.g. by inclusion in the AFI list), but less notable lines belong in Wikiquote (or IMDb). (P.S. I'm sure you didn't intend it, but you also reverted my other changes.) Clarityfiend (talk) 02:18, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Inclusion of quote from film

message: I'm surprised the article doesn't mention that Lion, the locomotive used to play the part of Thunderbolt, was built in 1838 and is the oldest steamable railway locomotive in the UK, and second oldest in the world behind the (British-built) USA's 1831 John Bull. 87.81.230.195 (talk) 01:41, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It has its own article, where most of this is mentioned. None of it really has much to do with the film itself. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:49, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I have deleted:
: The name "Titfield" is an amalgamation of the villages of Limpsfield and Titsey in Surrey.
Is there any evidence that the filmmakers had these villages in mind in preference to numerous other Tit… …field place names? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:42, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
