Talk:LÉ Macha

Fair use rationale for Image:LÉ Macha (01).jpg
Image:LÉ Macha (01).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 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 04:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeats
On 26 December the following good-faith addition was made: The book "A History of the Irish Naval Service" by Aidan McIvor corrects the mistake in that it was not the Macha, but the The LE Cliona under the command of Commander Thomas McKenna (Later to become Overall Commander of the Irish Naval Service)that returned the remains of WB Yeats. Le Cliona left Haulbowline Naval Base in June 1948, calling at Gibraltar on the outward and return leg, and collected the remains of in Nice. The vessel returned to Sligo Bay after a journey of 17 days. The editor is correct on what the source says, but the source itself appears to be in error, as discussed at Talk:William_Butler_Yeats. I therefore have moved the above edit here. Kablammo (talk) 13:40, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
