Fair use rationale for Image:Sikorski Portal Dyon 300.jpg

Image:Sikorski Portal Dyon 300.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 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 11:31, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lord Mountbatten

" ... the youngest of the Chiefs of Staff until the arrival of Lord Mountbatten". Mountbatten was not a chief of staff during the Second World War. However he did become Supreme Allied Commander in South East Asia. Portal remained the youngest of the three service chiefs during the war.IXIA (talk) 07:52, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Sentence now removed. Dormskirk (talk) 19:21, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We have too many award cats

The number of categories is excessive. Most of these awards are not defining to him as an individual.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:41, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

True, but they are legitimate and I cannot think of a good policy reason to remove them. If we deleted them and an editor was doing research into recipients of the Order of Merit (for example) to see what particular profession received the most number of awards (for example), the population would be missing one of its highly decorated recipients. I am happy to be persuaded by other views. Dormskirk (talk) 18:02, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
