Talk:Norwegian Epic

NCL Logo
Is the NCL logo image fair use in this article? Because it doesn't really illustrate the company in this article (that's the job for the Norwegian Cruise Line article). Maybe it would be more prudent for this article to go without an image until we can get a pre-publicity image of the actual ship. -- Kjet 19:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC)


 * At present, to the best of my knowledge, there isn't an F3 logo from NCL nor Aker, nor have any images or artist impressions been released. Frankly, both parties have been very hush, hush about this new design.  I just responded to a message from User:Maralia about the name of this page, and I believe that the F3 moniker will eventually be replaced with something more marketable. I'm assuming that teaser images will also be released as construction goes forward.  In the absence of any of the former, I thought it more appropriate to utilize an NCL logo over Aker, as the public more associates a cruise ship with it's owner/operator rather than it's builder.  Since there are many F3 disambiguations on Wikipedia, the present logo immediately identifies this page as being related to the cruise ship.  Obviously, I'm inclined to keep it until we can replace it with a rendering/sketch/etc., or something else identifiable.   But since consensus rules, and you, I and User:Maralia are the only one's currently taking an active interest in this page, I'm fine with letting a majority decide. --OneCyclone 21:36, 5 October 2007 (UTC)


 * On the logo: I'm not nescessarily arguing for deleting it, only pointing out it might be a fair use problem since the fair use is usually limited to only one article - which in this case is the NCL article. However, if no-one complains I'm fine with keeping it as it is.


 * On the name I agree with you; we also used the project code for Viking XPRS during the time when an official name was not yet decided (in the end the official name turned out to be the same as the project name, but that's besides the point). -- Kjet 22:05, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:NCL logo4C PRE,0.gif
Image:NCL logo4C PRE,0.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 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.

Since there's now just one ship...
...how would people feel about moving this article back to F3 (ship) and replacing the ship class infobox with a single-ship infobox? As there will not be more ships than one, that doesn't technically warrant a ship class article. The F3 (ship) article could (and should) include all the information about the planned but then cancelled other ships of the same design; therefore the change would not result in any information loss. — Kjet (talk · contribs) 10:18, 19 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I think that's appropriate. Thanks for seeking consensus.  --OneCyclone (talk) 15:33, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Promotional Image of Norwegian Epic
Before anyone gets upset about a promotional image being used on this page, I only intend it to be a placeholder until some actual free images of the ship become available. This is the first official image of the ship that NCL has released since the construction was first announced several years ago. --OneCyclone (talk) 18:14, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Bow Art
The photographer called his work Bow Art, not Hull Art, and his work should be respected. Renaming it Hull Art is akin to someone (who didn't produce the work) renaming aircraft "Nose Art" as "Fuselage Art". Most people would judge that to be disrespectful. But HEY! This is Wikipedia! And BTW, nose art doesn't have to be on the nose. It can be anywhere on the aircraft fuselage. According to Wikipedia.

You do of course have the option to remove the image completely. George.Hutchinson (talk) 18:10, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Not true
The article states: "Norwegian Epic... has the only rappelling wall on a cruise ship...". I saw Allure of the Seas a few days ago--a pair of amazing climbing walls, down which climbers rappel when they reach the top. If there are no objections, I will remove the claim within the next few days.--Anthon.Eff (talk) 01:34, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
