[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bruce Ismay.jpg
Image:Bruce Ismay.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 Wikipedia articles 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 16:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ice warning telegraph in the possesion of Bruce Ismay
Under "Controversy" - the assertion that only one passenger claimed to have seen Ismay flaunting an iceberg warning at dinner time is not accurate. Also it is not neutral to assert without evidence that the testimony of some passengers is unreliable or invented.
The fact that Ismay had shown them the telegram was testified to by two people - Mrs Thayer and Mrs Ryerson (USA Senate Inquiry 963-64 and UK Inquiry 18828-40). The details they recalled of the telegram which was read out to them by Ismay very closely matched the wireless message received from the "Baltic". Many writers on this subject have accepted that it is likely that this incident did occur.
I propose that this passage be changed to express a more balanced view of this incident - but would like to hear any comments on this.

[edit] Ismay and Carter
I noticed that the article states at one point that when Ismay left the ship on a lifeboat, so did another First Class passenger at the time, William Carter. Does anyone know if he was of the same Carter family that had brought a motorcar on board?TThe Kensington Blonde C 20:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] William Carter
William Carter did have a new Renault 35 hp automobile shipped on board. Both his wife and 10 year old son also survived (on boat No 4). Carter’s wife subsequently divorced him – though false – rumours that he had dressed in women’s clothes to escape were citied in the divorce papers. RMIT CC 08:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
