| Portion used |
Whole photograph |
| Low resolution? |
Yes |
| Purpose of use |
To illustrate the historical importance and severity of the killings, in particular the claim for them to be the "most dramatic and harrowing" in The Troubles as outlined in the lead. |
| Replaceable? |
The source states that the photographer was the only person witnessed for photographing the event. No free alternatives can therefore possibly come forward |
| Other information |
The use of the photograph does not impact the value of the original work or limit the rights of the photographer, primarily because it has a low resolution |

I contend that the use of this low-resolution copy of a historical photo to illustrate the article on the event the photo depicts conforms with wikipedia fair-use rules. No opportunity now exists to prepare a free version. --John (talk) 19:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
