[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sceat Ecgberht of York and Eadberht of Northumbria obverse.jpg

Image:Sceat Ecgberht of York and Eadberht of Northumbria obverse.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 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.

[edit] Reign

I'm doing the translation for the German wiki. I have the following problem: Bede died 735. How can he report of a rising that happened in 761? --Reinhold Stansich 15:36, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

He doesn't, the anonymous continuator does. The continuation of Bede's history (also known as the chronicle of 766) is a series of annals from 731, following on from Bede's Book V, Chapter 24, up to 766. Apparently some historians think Bede wrote a few of the early entries. What the continuator reports for 761 is "Oswine died", and one version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (E) says (761) "Moll, the Northumbrian king, killed Oswine at Edwin's Cliff on 6 August". Swanton, the editor, notes that Symeon says at "Eldunum" and comments "probably in the Eildon Hills". John of Worcester's chronicle (formerly attributed to Florence of Worcester) replaces "killed Oswine at" with "killed Oswine, a most noble ætheling, near". If you want an accessible reference, it is probably best to reference the Anglo-Chronicle Ms. E, s.a. 761 (here). There's slightly more detail in Symeon's Historia regum anglorum et dacorum (here on Google books, Stevenson's translation, here on the Internet Archive in Latin). There is no evidence outside Marsden's imagination that Oswine was Eadberht's son. Angus McLellan (Talk) 16:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. That helps me in translating the article. --Reinhold Stansich 19:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
