Inline citation are required for quality articles in WP (WP:GA, WP:FA), but not for ordinary articles as a whole - which is presumably what the G+S project are getting at. Obviously, if the project wants to get any of their articles through GA or FA then the articles will have to include inline cits, like it or not.

Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia! You might some of the links below in the standard welcome message useful:

Your question about in-line citations
Wikipedia's style guidelines WP:CITE do not require in-line citations, although, eventually, articles need in-line citations in order to be considered for "Good Article" or "Featured Articled" status. But WP:G&S needs to add more content to the G&S related articles before we worry about upgrading each of them beyond where most of them are now (B-class). We have just made a push to upgrade the W. S. Gilbert article, but (IMO) that was a time-consuming distraction from adding needed articles to the project where there is no information at all yet. In the meantime, please don't add citation tags to the articles. Of course, if you want to add in-line citations, be my guest, or if you want to help out with WP:G&S, please see the To do list there. -- Ssilvers 03:00, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Halifaxrmflag.gif
Image:Halifaxrmflag.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 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 05:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
