[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Caleb-cushing.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Caleb-cushing.jpg. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
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 ensure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Rettetast (talk) 11:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Greetings XavierGreen. Talk:Operation_Enduring_Freedom#Why_is_the_pirate_flag_here.3F
I’m willing to stop removing that flag if there is a strong case not to remove it. Chwyatt (talk) 07:45, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Leopard Question
Fifth-Rate covered ships of 32-50 guns from 1746-1810, and Fourth-Rates overlapped, covering ships of 50-70. While there is evidence for both a title of frigate and ship-of-the-line in terms of the Leopard in 1807, I have to maintain its frigate status for a few reasons:
- 1) The general rule of thumb is to only classify ships of 64 guns or more as a ship-of-the-line.
- 2) A ship of 50 guns fits the definition of a Fourth-Rate, as it is within 32-50 guns.
- 3) Most, if not all, source material I have read generally terms the Leopard a frigate. For example, Injured Honor: The Chesapeake-Leopard Affair, the definitive book on the subject, classifies her a frigate. Guttridge and Smith in The Commodores refers to the Leopard as the same.
- 4) A simple search - http://www.google.com/search?q=frigate+leopard&hl=en&start=0&sa=N - turns up more relevant hits for the Leopard in question described as a frigate than a similar search for the Leopard as a ship-of-the-line. Auror (talk) 23:25, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] March 18, 2006 incident off Somalia
You have written that this was the first surface action of the U.S. navy in the 21st century. I can find no sources to support this statement and suspect it is incorrect. I seem to recall some action at the beginning of the Iraq War between the Navy and small Iraqi motorboats that would predate this. I can't find mention of that either. Do you have any source for the statement you wrote in that article? Rmhermen (talk) 17:38, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
