If anyone has the time to go through Power of Feminist Art, I'm pretty sure there is a section there with good information. Once I'm less overwhelmed with school work I'll do it if no one has done it yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.192.228 (talk) 12:46, 26 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:72 aunt jemima.gif

Latest comment: 18 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Image:72 aunt jemima.gif 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Betye Saar. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20060305175041/http://www.legacy-project.org:80/artists/display.html?ID=130 to http://www.legacy-project.org/artists/display.html?ID=130
Added {{dead link}} tag to http://www.sfmoma.org/voices/index_bs.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot.

Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals.
