Talk:History of the Indian Air Force

Fair use rationale for Image:Tiger Hill.jpg
Image:Tiger Hill.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.

The first paragraph seems to be lifted lock-stock and barrel from here. For the record, this sucks!! So I'm editing it. Marathi_Mulgaa (talk) 04:00, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Tangail Airdrop.jpg
The image Image:Tangail Airdrop.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
 * That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Removed peacock template
I've removed the peacock template after reviewing the article. My assumption is that the template was applied to address problems in earlier revisions, but was never removed once those issues were resolved. If you believe this to be incorrect, please either respond here and explain so I can attempt to fix the issues, or make an attempt to fix them yourself before reinstating the template.

Thanks! Skeletor3000 (talk) 21:46, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
