message: :Image:Rammstein Rosenrot.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 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 23:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  copy Construction  from Northwind 

message: At 02:58, 26 October 2014 an External link was added. At 03:12 26 October 2014, 14 minutes later, it was reverted with “(Rv; page doesn't actually have any useful blueprints of the vessel.)”
Is “any useful blueprints” with no discussion pure POV?
Is a clear side view drawing of a ship “useful”?
Is it wise to revert a new link when 2 of 4 existing links are dead?
I thought the drawing gave a perspective of the ship. I did not use Burton Island or Westwind on their articles.
The site name implies the drawing is a blueprint. Should the caption be changed to "USCGC Southwind drawing at The-Blueprints.com"? Is that an important point?
With a free registration any image on this site can be downloaded in a larger size. This site has many other naval images that readers might be interesting.
Whatever, just sayin’ Sammy D III (talk) 14:44, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
