Talk:HMS Eagle (1918)

Fair use rationale for Image:HMS Eagle (1918).jpg
Image:HMS Eagle (1918).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 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.

Pennant Number
Didn't Eagle have a Pennant Number? I'm expanding a list of aircraft carriers on another wiki and would prefer to use the same standard of disambiguation for the RN (where I usually give the pennant number). The same problem of course applies here as most other carriers seem to be differenciated by PN and here we have the launch year.--Caranorn (talk) 12:18, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Removal of sources
Why have a significant number of references been removed, together with a large number of citations, meaning that sections are now virtually unreferenced - this does not appear to be improving the article - in fact these changes appear to be damaging to it.Nigel Ish (talk) 23:21, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Because I'm revising the article with better sources? Sometimes surgery is necessary before the work can begin.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:15, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Too much detail
The editor GraemeLeggett has dictated the following:

"In any encyclopedia, information cannot be included solely for being true or useful. An encyclopedia article should not be a complete exposition of all possible details".

Following his rules, much of this article will be deleted in due course. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.158.236.14 (talk) 16:07, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * No editor can dictate anything. Any non-constructive changes will be reverted.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:44, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

What about a serial or identification number?
Need some more info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slyslayer48 (talk • contribs) 01:49, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Sentence grammar
Does the first sentence from the 'Battle of Malta' section make sense? It goes "824 Squadron transferred to North Front and the ship loaded 15 Supermarine Spitfire fighters brought to Gibraltar by the carrier Argus." Elfalem (talk) 02:50, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * What don't you understand?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:11, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Makes prefect sense to me. - Nick Thorne  talk  07:18, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Cancelled Torpedo Mountings
Were the six triple mountings to be fixed, or revolving? R.N. documents of 1918 indicate the same triple revolving mountings as were used in "W" class destroyers. I do not have the Friedman source cited. DulcetTone (talk) 14:54, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
