[edit] Carolan or O'Carolan?
- Grove 5 lists him as Carolan, and says "The O'Carolan form of his name is modern and lacks authority".
- We currently use both versions in the article, which needs to be corrected one way or the other. Better to be consistently wrong than have a foot in both camps. JackofOz 12:41, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
The writers of Grove are musicologists first and ethnologists second(or third or fourth, or not at all). The article lists the Gaelic name, which clearly includes the O' prefix, variously interpreted as 'grandson of' or 'of the family of'. Turlough may very well have gone by Carolan, in that by the eighteenth century, the Penal Laws had caused most Irish to use anglicized spellings of their names. There is, however, a school of thought holding that no Irish surname is corect without an O', Mac, or Ni. 72.81.216.227 (talk) 17:05, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CBI - SERIES B - FIFTY POUND NOTE.PNG
Image:CBI - SERIES B - FIFTY POUND NOTE.PNG 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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 04:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
