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

Rev War search
I searched J.D. Lewis's database of Revolutionary War service records and could not find a John Brockman or the named unit. I also searched the DAR database. He was patriot and provided Patriotic Service. He was not a soldier in any unit.

BROCKMAN, JOHN


 * Ancestor #: A014750
 * Notice: PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED WITH AT LEAST ONE PREVIOUSLY VERIFIED PAPER - SEE ANCESTOR’S FULL RECORD  (WHY?)
 * Service: NORTH CAROLINA    Rank(s): PATRIOTIC SERVICE
 * Birth: 5-8-1735    ORANGE CO VIRGINIA
 * Death: 1-31-1801     LAURENS DIST SOUTH CAROLINA
 * Service Source: HAUN, NC REV ARMY ACCTS, BOOK C, PART 14, P 1892
 * Service Description: 1) FURNISHED SUNDRIES AND CASH FOR THE MILITIA

I added the books as inline references and added another reference cited on the Find a Grave site. All of the North Carolina militia regiments and brigades are now in Wikipedia and I did not come across John Brockman. I removed the templates for original sources since the books are now cited inline.
