Hi

I am one of Frank's grandchildren and would like to request the addition of an official website we have set up for him, http://frankthornton.org.uk

Also, as far as we are aware, he never appeared in Emmerdale Farm. Of course I have no proof to back me up but I can't find much more proof online and it doesn't mention it on his imdb.com page either.

Kind regards
Jonathan

:Thanks for this. I've added the website as an external link, and added a {{cn}} tag to the reference to ''Emmerdale''. There may well be an ''Emmerdale'' obsessive somewhere who can confirm his appearance - if not, the statement can be deleted.

== Appearance in ''Pirates of Penzance'' ==

''At some point in the 1990s he appeared [...]in[...] The Pirates Of Penzance''

This seems a rather inexact and unencyclopedic entry. And why are ''Paul Nicholas'' and ''Bonnie Langford'' italicized? [[User:Nuttyskin|Nuttyskin]] ([[User talk:Nuttyskin|talk]]) 23:07, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Truly.jpg

[edit]

Image:Truly.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.
