Fair use rationale for Image:Letouquet golf.jpg[edit]

Image:Letouquet golf.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.

POV[edit]

"Le Touquet has a reputation as the most elegant holiday resort of northern France, the playground of rich Parisians, with many luxury hotels."

Surely this isn't allowed. I suppose it might be citable. Renard Migrant (talk) 21:35, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a while since this has been brought up, but I agree - if no citation can be produced for this claim, it needs to be rephrased. TheKenster (talk) 19:52, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Burgundian history?[edit]

I wonder why the dexter half of the coat of arms is based on that of Burgundy. (The sinister half is Paris.) —Tamfang (talk) 06:06, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The counts of Ponthieu, in Picardy, bore very similar arms. —Tamfang (talk) 05:43, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- ALT2: ... that even though about 100,000 bombs fell on Le Touquet during WWII, making it "the most mined city in France", it was the first resort in Northern France to open its beaches after Liberation? Source: There are different estimates of the number of explosive devices were left in Le Touquet, ranging from 92,745[62] through 106,745[86] and up to 137,950,[85][b] but all agree that Le Touquet became 'the most mined city in France'. (the last sentence in the "Wartime destruction" section), also "By Pentecost of 1945, Le Touquet's beach opened to visitors, the first in Northern France, but the demining proved taxing. 78 people died and 155 were injured while demining the town within 3 years of Liberation.[85][86]"

expanded recently enough; article is well-written and well-sourced. In my opinion ALT2 is by far the most interesting hook. Elli (talk | contribs) 04:14, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
