Response[edit]

Hi --

I've added information as to where the page came from and more secondary sources and links from other Wiki pages such as the Merchant Marine page. Is there anything else I can do to help this article become more useful and objective?

Thanks! (Murphluc27 (talk) 17:18, 17 November 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:USA-Maritime-v2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:57, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
