Reference to the South Carolina Class Battleship
[edit]This referrence to the superfiring turrets on the South Carolina causing damage to the lower turret if fired within 30 degrees of the stern is not correct. The upper main gun could be fired directly over the lower turret without effecting the lower turret at all. It was tested before in a special rig and after construction. I am challenging this assertion, either back it up or I will remove it in 48 hours. Tirronan 20:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Having reread this 4 times I came to understand that the superfiring comments were for the stern pair of turrets in the Netune class. Though it is very strange that the South Carolina's didn't have this problem (they had lots of other problems) and the Netunes did, I don't have expertise in British battleship design to contest this. I withdraw my objection. Serious thought should be given to rewriting that sentence its very confusing Tirronan 21:18, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:HMS Neptune (Royal Navy battleship).jpg
[edit]![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:HMS Neptune (Royal Navy battleship).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 Wikipedia: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 06:31, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- Don't you just got to love bots where lots of time have to be spent on a image that is over 100 years old and out of any copywrite protects per US law must now be justified so yet another smurf can be happy that he has contributed... nothing. I will research this though its a pretty good waste of time for many an editor with better things to do. Its bad enough that we have to deal with trolls let alone deal with automated bots to help mangle arcticles. Tirronan 18:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- HMS Neptune was scrapped in 1922, as the picture of her afloat with all her armaments intact this picture was taken at least a year earlier, in any case this picture is at least 85 years old and by US Copywrite law out of any copywrite protection. Tirronan 19:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
