::Mr Martínez, the image does not depict a "marine scene" it depicts a harbor in Alexandria. Just because there is some sea water in the image does not fit Fair Use criteria that the image should be directly related to the subject matter under discussion. If the article was about the Harbor of Alexandria then there may be a claim for fair use subject to the original copyright holder's license. There are many other images of water that could be used. Currently the image is just being used to "pretty up" a very short and insignificant article. [[User:KTDiputsho|KTDiputsho]] 11:03, 20 April 2008 (EDT)

:: Thank you for your help. It is indeed important. However I do not agree with the criterion that it is not a marine scene. It is according to a dictionary definition: #4 "a picture of a ship or a sea scene " [http://www.yourdictionary.com/marine your dictionary.com/marine] --[[User:Joaquín Martínez]], [[User talk:Joaquín Martínez|talk]] 11:58, 20 April 2008 (EDT)
