[edit] Additional Note

In the section "notes", I added a brief bit of information about Clancy's portrayl of the Provisional IRA that I thought was important - he portrays the PIRA as Marxist, which they are not in real life (socialist, yes, but Marixst, no). I thought that might be relevent, so I added some info. Please do not delete that section without talking to me about it here first.

I think this was meant to help readers? But even me, an "informed" Clancy fan, can't see the logic behind... FloK 13:56, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree. It's very confusing. I understand the timeline very well and still think it needs to be simplified. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 16:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
As you say it makes sense, I suspect I'm not that informed as I thought I was... :( I thought it was meant something the way below. FloK 23:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree although I think the result should be a blend of the information above. I will change the main page to suit. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:35, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TomClancy-PatriotGames.jpg

Image:TomClancy-PatriotGames.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] Novel plot and the Royal Family

If you check the script, Ryan saves Lord and Lady Holmes and their baby...NOT the Prince and Princess of Wales. Someone keeps changing the Wiki to list them as being the Prince and Princess of Wales. Can you prevent this person from changing the info to an incorrect entry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Conchchowder0 (talkcontribs)

Do bear in mind when editing this article is that it is about the "Novel", not primarily the film. There is an item in the article about the difference between the plot of the two. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
MY MOST HUMBLE APOLOGIES TO ALL. I STAND CORRECTED AND FEEL LIKE A TOTAL BUFFOON. I WAS REFERENCING THE MOVIE (AS SHOWN IN MY ERROR) AND NOT THE NOVEL. YES, I'M SHOUTING BECAUSE I FEEL SO STUPID! SORRY AGAIN! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Conchchowder0 (talkcontribs) - 16 August 2007
