Talk:Harbourmaster

Needs Work
Reading the article you'd think this were some obscure English tradition when it's a common international occupation. At least in the US this is a significant job and needs a lot more information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:1480:46EE:8C4F:9A91:4BA2:F231 (talk) 15:44, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Spelling
In the United States the spelling is Harbormaster not Harbourmaster. It is Wikipedia convention to use the spelling that is proper for the region. It is improper to use Harbourmaster when describing the American profession.
 * If harbourmasters only existed in the United States then it would be appropriate to use the American spelling for the whole article. Since the post exists everywhere the spelling should be consistent throughout the article. Therefore, since the article was started in British English it should continue to be in British English throughout unless it refers to a proper name (e.g. Queen's Harbourmaster), in which case the spelling used in the appropriate country should obviously be used. Spelling should not be changed halfway through an article. This is quite clearly stated in the Manual of Style. -- Necrothesp 13:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Coast guard flag.gif
Image:Coast guard flag.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 06:28, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
