[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Irish Senator Don Lydon.jpg

Image:Irish Senator Don Lydon.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 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] Previous editing

This article has all the hallmarks of suspicious editing. Anon IP removing cited material e.g. headlock incident. Registered users who only edit this article, seems someone wants Donny boy, cast in a favourable light. I will be keeping a close eye on this article. Avanti! Snappy56 (talk) 12:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

As if to prove my point, shortly after I tidied up this article, a newly registered user who has never edited any other articles (and there are 2 million of them!) deleted cited material about the Mahon Tribunal. I wonder if the anon IP and new editors have any connection to FF and/or Lydon? Curious!Snappy56 (talk) 23:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
