Talk:HMS Queen Elizabeth (1913)

Move back to HMS Queen Elizabeth (1913)

Back at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships) and Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ships), I have suggested to move back to launch dates for older (e.g. pre-1945) British ships, as the pennant numbers are not necessarily unique, and certainly not well known. Since there was no opposition, I've modified the policy accordingly. It's now been up for 5 days. I would like to move the QE's back to a consistent disambig by launch date, in particular to comply with WP:COMMONNAME. Is there any strong opposition? --Stephan Schulz 02:58, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

None, so I have done it. I've fixed all the double redirects (very few) and several simple ones. --Stephan Schulz 04:49, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:HMS Queen Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth-class battleship).jpg

Image:HMS Queen Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth-class battleship).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.

Lead image

The cutline for the image in the infobox likely is incorrect, as is the description:

Queen Elizabeth in 1941 grounded in Alexandria Harbour after being mined by Italian frogmen

The photo's source contains no such description. The image appears to be one of the ship sometime before her second reconstruction in 1937-41, in which she was modernized and the tripod mast was replaced by a tower bridge, among other modifications. Perhaps it precedes her first reconstruction also. Kablammo (talk) 13:32, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

It's definitely before the second rebuilding, and the ship is definitely not sunk. The ship isn't drawing any deeper than in this photo from June '43. Another giveaway are the tents on the upper decks; the ship next astern has tenting covering the forward turret; that's not a wartime configuration. Parsecboy (talk) 14:22, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

d'uh - this is obviously before the reconstruction, as the 6-inch casemates are still there... Rcbutcher (talk) 14:37, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

The bulges were added and the funnels trunked in the 1926 reconstruction, so the photograph was taken sometime between then and 1937. Maritimequest dates the image to the 1930s.[1]. I will change the caption. Kablammo (talk) 21:07, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

State of the ship aside, that looks to be Gibraltar anyway. --Simon Harley (talk | library | book reviews) 02:30, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Battle of Jutland

The article contains contradictory information regarding the ship's participation at Jutland. Was she there or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.69.156.107 (talk) 04:36, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
