Image tag issue

File:Maughold stone, Hedin cross, ship.jpg is tagged as needing a US public domain tag. Once that issue is cleared up this article is all set to go.--¿3family6 _contribs 22:18, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and boldly fixed the issue myself. Good to go.

A fish out of water?[edit]

I've not checked the sources, but I'm sure from the context that 'founder: Of a ship, to fill with water and sink', was intended, rather than 'flounder: To flop around as a fish out of water' - accordingly I've edited the article. [1] AndyTheGrump (talk) 01:32, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for catching that, Andy.--¿3family6 _contribs 03:55, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
