message: User 4.158.231.51 asserted without comment or justification that The neutrality of this article is disputed.
:I wrote this article after reading an obituary in The Times newspaper. I have no particular point of view about this man or the issues he faced, but simply summarised the details of his life from the obituary. I have no reason to believe that the newspaper gave a biased view of his life.
:It would help if the person who is disputing the neutrality of this article would explain the problem he/she perceives with it. Then we can discuss and resolve the issue. Please elucidate below...

replies: text:  Using my usual browser, Firefox 1.0.7, I only get one copy of the references. However, I tried it with MS Internet Explorer 6.0 and it duplicates them - 1 is repeated as 4, 2 as 5 and 3 as 6. Netscape 7.1 also duplicates them. How curious! Anybody got any ideas? - Euchiasmus 21:20, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Ianjanet.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.
