Fair use rationale for Image:Sharpes Company.jpg

Image:Sharpes Company.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 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.

Opening sentence - slightly misleading?

I wonder if "Sharpe's Company is the thirteenth historical novel in the Richard Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell, first published in 1982" is the best way to open as it is, no doubt unintentionally, slightly misleading. While in chronological order in terms of setting, it is indeed the thirteenth Sharpe novel, but it was the third to be published, and in 1982 there was no way of knowing that a number of books would later be added to the Sharpe series set earlier in Sharpe's career. Equally it has only been the thirteenth in the sequence since Sharpe's Fury was published in 2006 and now that Bernard Cornwell has resumed the series (albeit with a book set later in Sharpe's life), there is no guarantee that an earlier-set novel might not yet appear. That however is a more minor concern than the publication order. I therefore wonder if it would be better to say "Sharpe's Company is a historical novel in the Richard Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell, first published in 1982. The third novel in the Sharpe series to be published, it is chronologically the thirteenth in the series". I would appreciate thoughts on this. Dunarc (talk) 22:48, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

I have reworded the opening for the reasons above - it also fits in with the opening of the Sharpe's Gold article. Dunarc (talk) 20:54, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
