Image:LRSMark.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.

It has never been called the Woolwich Free Ferry and far as I know and the cited references do not call it this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martin Hogbin ( talk • contribs) 17:09, 27 August 2012
A quick Google search shows numerous references to the Woolwich Free Ferry, so named to distinguish it from previous commercial services and to provide some parity with other free river crossings managed by the Metropolitan Board of Works. I have expanded the history section to try to make this clearer. Paul W ( talk) 23:04, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
I have reverted changes by 82.132.246.234 because no sources were given for this change and I can find no evidence of it anywhere.
If this change was genuine please respond here with some suggested sources. Martin Hogbin ( talk) 12:29, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
As part of t he GA review, I revised the map to show the DLR extension from King George V to Woolwich Arsenal (and added same image to Woolwich foot tunnel, replacing the non-free image there). If you wonder why it isn't there, you probably need to bypass your cache. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
The history section claims that the ferry became Roll on, Roll off in 1963! So what was it before, all vehicles craned aboard? It was always roll on roll off, but was side loading. The 1963 ferries were designed for end loading but used side loading until the new terminals with link spans opened in 1966. It was at this point that the ferry became accessible to HGVs.
