I am extending the History section about the Corps - I hope that this doesn't cause any conflict with others plans. Please make contact with me here. John Saltmarsh 09:43, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

I have no plans to extend it, go ahead. I have an interest in ROC underground posts, so created a stub, but no extensive knowledge of the Corps. -- Rwendland 10:15, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

18 Jan 2008 - I have had to amend the stand down date again back to the correct December 1995. Unfortunately there were 9,500 ROC members at stand-down that are convinced that the Corps stopped in September 1991 but they are ignoring the fact that the 300 NRC crew members continued until final disbandment. I doubt this will be the final time the date will be fiddled with, any bets on that? 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 20:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)



[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ROCcrest2.jpg

Image:ROCcrest2.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.
