Fair use rationale for Image:Lyn Southern.jpg
Image:Lyn Southern.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 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.

Engineering strike over an eight-hour week?

 * Between July 1897 and January 1898, employees of many British locomotive companies were striking due to disputes over the eight-hour working week...

This doesn't sound right to me - more likely to be an 80-hour week they were striking over. Can anyone verify this? regards, Lynbarn (talk) 21:54, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah - they were striking to get agreement on an eight-hour working DAY! - see this reference That makes more sense. Lynbarn (talk) 22:07, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Condemned boiler
Regarding - if a hammer goes through a boiler plate, the boiler must have been in very bad condition. Boiler inspectors check many features of the boiler - plates, rivets, joints, stays etc. so it would have been in his line of work to use his hammer on each plate. Accidental doesn't come into it anywhere. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 15:28, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
