Fair use rationale for Image:GeorgeCrossObv.jpg

Image:GeorgeCrossObv.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.

Invasion by Italians in 1941?

From which references do anyone sates taht the Italians tried to invade Malta in 1941? That was an EBoat attack on merchant ships in the Valleta harbour just like the one that happened in Egypt whenwarships where crippled in harbour. No army will invade a place with small Eboats that are few feet long. I suggest that this piece of writing about the Italian invasion is checked.

Propaganda claim

I have removed the following sentence "Some historians argue that the award could have been a propaganda gesture to justify the huge losses sustained by Britain to prevent Malta from capitulating as Singapore had done in the Battle of Singapore.[13]" There are multiple problems with this sentence: it doesn't identify who the historians are, the BBC article referenced only cites one historian (Correlli Barnett), not some, and it is vague - "could have been" doesn't tell readers much.Sir rupert orangepeel (talk) 07:07, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
