Fair use rationale for Image:Ronronbig.jpg
[edit]
Image:Ronronbig.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Unsourced material
[edit]The following information is all unsourced:
- Harold Wilson, British Prime Minister 1964-1970, caused a laugh when at an important Dinner venue the microphone started to whistle. Harold Wilson quickly remarked “I didn’t invite Ronnie Ronalde.”
- After a performance, Marilyn Monroe said his whistling made her shiver. When Jane Russell visited Ronalde's dressing room, she sat on his knee as he whistled through her fingers.
- Lawrence Oliver, on being told to whistle during filming, was heard to reply to his director’s request: “Don’t ask me to whistle like Ronnie Ronalde.”
- Whilst appearing in America with Roy Rogers and his Horse Trigger, the horse heard Ronalde whistle backstage and this triggered off the horse's waterworks.
Can we get sources? If the material is verifiable, please incorporate it into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 22:19, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- I do apologise for not sourcing. All material here is taken from his autobiography - there are few web sources. I don't know how to reference a book on wikipedia, but the alterations to the article look fine. (Samshipstone (talk) 22:27, 20 January 2009 (UTC))
- These can go back into the article then if they're sourced from his book. I've just been through and done a bit of a cleanup, whoever added the neutrality disputed tag wasn't very helpful and didn't specify problems on the talk page or in their edit summary. I've sorted out a couple of peacock terms and removed the neutrality tag. I tried to reduce overlinking but there may still be certain problems - things like whistling and music hall probably only need to be linked once - any more clutters the page and makes reading less clear. If you have a photo you'd be willing to release under an acceptable free licence it would be great if you could upload it to Commons and put it in the article's infobox. Thanks for your work on this article! Topics like music hall that had their heyday before the web are under-represented on it, so you're helping to counter Wikipedia's systemic bias. 79.64.251.192 (talk) 18:13, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
- I also removed all the "other artists" section. Those should have citation(s). --Malerooster (talk) 22:02, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
