[edit] Arrival date in Australia

Sources seem to be confused about whether the SC arrived in Australia on the 8th, 9th or 10th of June.

The most detailed source I can find is [1], which says 10:13am on the 9th. I expect the reason some other sources give the other dates are a) The SC did of course cross the international date line between Hawaii and Suva, so if someone just added up the days in flight they'd get the 8th, and b) no-one's ever heard of Brisbane, and the SC did not continue on to Sydney until the 10th.

On what do you base your comment that no-one's ever heard of Brisbane? A citation is needed with regard to this — otherwise it is just a POV comment. Figaro 14:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Of course it was just a POV comment (I live in Brisbane too, fwiw). :) But nevertheless, the newsreels, photographers and crowd of 300,000 [2] were all at Mascot on the 10th, not Eagle Farm on the 9th. So that's why there could be some confusion. FiggyBee 23:33, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

What about the crowd of 25,000 people who rushed to Eagle Farm Airport to greet the Southern Cross on its arrival at the airport on the 9th [3] and [4] — don't they count? Figaro 13:20, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Southern cross book 1928.jpg

Image:Southern cross book 1928.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.
