Fair use rationale for Image:Babington dethickcrest.gif
Image:Babington dethickcrest.gif 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 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 00:36, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Born 1561, died 1586, but the fourth paragraph says, "In about 1789, while travelling on the continent...". Quite an achievement for a man who has been dead for two-hundred years. 86.145.251.92 21:06, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted the major rewrite of 18 October 2007 by anonymous single-article user 86.157.64.103. The new version does not link, reference or cite to Wiki standards. It is too long and rambles off-topic. It is more of a history of the Babington plot and would be better off in that article or as an external page. Would 86.157.64.103 care to give a justification for the radical change that has been made? Xxanthippe 01:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC).

A Traveler in Time
The article refers to "A Traveler in Time" by Alison Uttley, stating that the narrator travels between the 1940s and 1580s. I saw nothing in the book to suggest that it was set in the 1940s: it refers to the execution of Mary Queen of Scots as being 320 years earlier, which would suggest that the novel was set during the reign of Edward VII. Uttley herself was born in the 1880s. 58.110.123.102 (talk) 23:13, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Born where?
He appears to have two birth places according to a single sentence in the text. Can anyone elucidate? Sjwells53 (talk) 14:57, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
