[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BernardCornwell TheLastKingdom.jpg
Image:BernardCornwell TheLastKingdom.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 01:50, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lothbrokson
Where does this come from, isn't the convention to use the first name. The only articles that mention Lothbrokson appear to be Cornwell noovels, is this a mistake of his? Even if it is, where does it come from, wouldn't it be Lodbrokson? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 07:02, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I think Cornwell chose to make this change for simplicity's sake. He already main characters named Ragnar and Ragnarsson. Ubba and his brothers are more distant threats to Uthred. I think it was a conscious use of artistic license more than a mistake. Based on other facts associated to Ubba in the series it makes sense to link from the character Ubba Lothbrocksson in the book to the real historical figure Ubba Ragnarsson.Mike padilla (talk) 17:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
