Fair use rationale for Image:Páirc Mhic Asmaint.jpg
Image:Páirc Mhic Asmaint.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 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 03:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

POV description of Roger Casement
Until this morning, the article said that the ground was named after the republican revolutionary Sir Roger Casement. It was changed in this edit to named after Roger Casement, an Anglo-Irish diplomat who was hanged in Pentonville Prison in 1916 after being found guilty of treason for his role in importing German weapons to Ireland to foment revolt against the United Kingdom during the First World War. While there is nothing factually incorrect about this statement, it is highly POV, suggesting as it does that the ground was named after a villain and a traitor to his country, which is definitely not how history perceives him. has softened it somewhat, adding "humanitarian activist and Irish nationalist", but the fact remains that the ground was named after him, not because of his diplomatic career or his humanitarianism in the Congo or Peru, but purely because of his role in the Easter Rising. I am changing it back in the lead and the History section to reflect this. Scolaire (talk) 14:58, 10 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi. I did wonder about the need and framing of the additional wording/description of Casement. Hence my change to tweak it slightly and move it (as, per my EDSUMM, and as it seemed a bit long for the lead) into the body/history/naming section. While, perhaps, the GAA were less motivated by Casement's humanitarian work outside Ireland than other factors, it is how he is known elsewhere - being described as the "twentieth century's first outstanding humanitarian". Regardless, I'm happy with the simplification and that any broader description of Casement is perhaps best left for the linked bio article. As WP:SS would expect.
