Dates of voyage as a Troopship : Operation Torch[edit]

The dates given in the Article (as at 16 October 2014) do not tally with the Operations Record Book of No.255 Squadron RAF, whose ground crew were on board in considerable numbers. Document AIR27/1518 folios 110-117 in The National Archives of the UK suggests that "S.S. Maloja" sailed from Liverpool 13:00 27 November 1942 and after an uneventful passage in mainly good weather anchored off Algiers early on 06 December 1942. However, disembarkation at Algiers was cancelled and the vessel sailed on to Bône near the Algeria/Tunisia border, arriving 07 December at 11:00. What's the source of the conflicting data? If not evidenced, I suggest that the Article should be updated to reflect what's in No.255 Squadron's documentation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 255 Squadron Association (talk • contribs) 20:07, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No information to the contrary having been received, the article has been updated to tally with No.255 Squadron's records.

Fair use rationale for Image:P & O Poster.jpg[edit]

Image:P & O Poster.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 ensure 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.

Help request[edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Could someone who knows about such things please review (a) the continued display of the criticism of "insufficient inline citations" and (b) the absence of a Rationale statement regarding display of the P&O poster, amending both the Article and its Talk Page if appropriate. 255 Squadron Association (talk) 08:54, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

255 Squadron Association: First off, new sections should be created at the bottom of a page (use the "New Section" button). Now, to respond to your queries: (a) there is one reference on the page, with three full sections not referenced, so the tag stays. I have no idea what you're talking about in (b), however given that it is a poster relating to the paragraph it's contained in, I see no reason why it shouldn't be there. I'm guessing it's right-formatted due to the infobox being in the way. Primefac (talk) 15:37, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
