Is Della African or African-American? If she's African, then I'm sure there's a specific country that can be named, seeing that Africa is a great, big continent made up of 54 countries. If she's half African-American, then that needs to be corrected.Rattlerbrat 05:12, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Hazel Scott was the first African-American woman to have her own TV show, in the late 40s, so I took out the assertian that Della Reese was the first in the late 60s. John FitzGerald 14:06, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Della.jpg

Image:Della.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
