Talk:United Kingdom Military Oath of Allegiance

Fair use rationale for Image:UK Military Oath Of Allegiance Certificate.jpg
Image:UK Military Oath Of Allegiance Certificate.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 04:35, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Wording
Hi, I've just changed the wording of this page slightly, I think the wording 'soldier' nods towards the Army which is a tad unfair as all members of the HM Forces take this oath. LookingYourBest 15:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Not entirely true I'm afraid, RN personnel don't.

 * RN Personnel don't attest to the Queen? I find that strange ... what do they do instead then? LookingYourBest 12:15, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Nothing, there is no need.

 * Fair one, do you care to explain that ... I'm just curious! LookingYourBest 12:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Can't remember the reasoning offhand but essentially the Navy are trusted and don't need to, the Army need to demonstrate commitment. With the RN signing the acknowledgement is enough.
 * No idea why the RAF would need to, other than their statutory basis may derive that aspect form the RFC.

Learn a new thing every day! Thanks for the explanation, I'll change the wording again! LookingYourBest 13:16, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
