[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Greater Manchester County Council Arms.png
Image:Greater Manchester County Council Arms.png 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Accuracy
I'm not convinced about the accuracy of this article. The lock linking the Ship Canal and Bridgwater Canal is quite definitely still there, and to the best of my knowledge none of the docks have been filled. Only in the Quays have some areas been separated off for water purification reasons.
I think this article could do with some revision, or rewriting and incorporating into the main Salford Quays article.
Update: Sorry, after some further research I can confirm that at Pomona, Dock 1 has been filled, Dock 2 has been partially filled (reduced length), Dock 3 remains as it was and Dock 4 has been filled. I can't confirm any details on Dock 5, other than it is on the 1896 map of the area.
