Fair use rationale for Image:Eidsvold class costal defence cruiser photo.jpg[edit]

Image:Eidsvold class costal defence cruiser photo.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.

HNoMS vs KNM[edit]

An inconsistency is apparent. In the title and opening paragraph, the ship is named HNoMS Eidsvold, but thereafter is called KNM Eidsvold. I would presume that the latter is correct, but am not sure. Is the former then a false construction, made for the benefit of English readers, of the sort that is deprecated by Wikipedia (style manual)? (The same question can be raised concerning articles on other Norwegian ships with prefix HNoMS.) PKKloeppel (talk) 16:47, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HNoMS is the correct English language prefix for Royal Norwegian Navy ships. KNM is simply the Norwegian language version (literal meaning: Kongelig Norsk Marine → Royal Norwegian Navy). Some early editors on these articles used the two terms in a rather confused manner. It should be HNoMS. I'll go fix it here right away. Manxruler (talk) 16:53, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

However, the Norwegian Navy only introduced the prefix KNM in 1946, long after the Eidsvold had gone down. The use of the prefix, Norwegian or English, is therefore inappropriate. Indeed, the Norwegian Wiki therefore does not use any prefix for the ship. --Cosal (talk) 07:06, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
