Fair use rationale for Image:Bonopope.jpg
Image:Bonopope.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 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.

Dublin Archdiocese investigation
The report will probably appear here and material from it should be relevant to the article. Given that his cooperation with the investigation, it may reflect well on him.Autarch (talk) 19:10, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Is subject properly described as "Dr." Martin?
A previous version of this article describes the Archbishop in several places as "Dr." Martin. Yet nowhere in the discussion of his education is there any mention of his receiving a doctoral degree. I have rephrased the references to avoid speaking of "Dr." Martin. But if any user has evidence that this title is appropriate, please insert a specific reference to the source of his doctorate into the article's discussion of his education. Thank you.

 * The short answer is yes. In Ireland and in some other countries, bishops are considered ex officio Doctors of Divinity.  "D.D" is put after their name, or "Dr" put before it.  However, the reaction of Nadt1 shows that it could surprise people in some other countries and is best avoided.  Furthermore, in a Wikipedia article it is, I maintain, better not to use such title (or titles such as "Archbishop" or "Cardinal") repeatedly, when the plain surname is enough.

 * Thank you for a fascinating response. That is certainly not an answer that would ever have occurred to me! Nandt1 (talk) 20:48, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Murphy Report section too long?
This article is about the archbishop, but I feel that the Murphy Report section has become too long. At present there are 16 paragraphs in that section. I totally agree it needs to be mentioned, but it needs pruning. I'm sure that some of the information could be moved to the Murphy Report page or to the Sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic archdiocese of Dublin page.
