Fair use rationale for Image:North Korean naval ensign.gif

[edit]

Image:North Korean naval ensign.gif 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.

== Never really work on Wiki, but I did notice something. The (this) actual NK Navy page describes the Navy as Brown-Water, while most linking pages, if mentioned, say its a green water navy. --174.103.227.151 (talk) 07:43, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Korean People's NavyKorean People's Army Naval Force – Appears to be the actual name of the navy, so should be the name of the article. The Bushranger One ping only 03:25, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - The naval branch of North Korea's military is officially called the Korean People's Navy (KPN). Here are the first two solid sources I came across:
1. Korean War Order of Battle: states that the KPN was formed in 1949 made up from elements of the North Korean Coast Guard. (Page 170)
2. US-Korea North: Political and Economic Cooperation Handbook: describes the KPN's composition, strength, and capabilities. (Pages 199 - 207) GoneIn60 (talk) 04:50, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction re:personnel numbers

[edit]

The info box states that the DPRK's navy has only 60,000 servicemen, while the 'Organization' paragraph lists well over double that number, at 146,000 sailors. Which is it? Trilobright (talk) 17:40, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
