Fair use rationale for Image:Sharpes Battle.jpg
Image:Sharpes Battle.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 03:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Pendleton and Cooper claim
In terms of the claim in this article ''In the first Sharpe novel written, Sharpe's Eagle, Cornwell features a teenage Rifleman named Pendleton (who dies at Talavera). In this novel, set two years after Talavera, Pendleton is again mentioned. This is likely a mistake by Cornwell, who has admitted not to have re-read "Eagle"'' does anyone have a source for the mention of Pendleton in this novel. The e-book edition I have, which I would have got about 2013, does not mention Pendleton. However I realise it is possible that Bernard Cornwell or his editors may have fixed an accidental mention. So does someone have a source for the error being in the original published edition or being acknowledged by Bernard Cornwell? In terms of Cooper being flagged up, the name is common enough that the character here (who is clearly based on the TV character) may not be intended to be the Cooper in the novel Sharpe's Riffles, who if memory serves dies early without much development, but is not depicted as being a close to Harper as the TV Cooper (and the one who appears here and in later-written, but chronologically earlier, Sharpe Novels) is. Of course as the Sharpe novels were written out of sequence there are inevitably a few continuity issues, and compared to some the Cooper duplication is not that major.
