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

Image:Prathervanish.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 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.BetacommandBot 04:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA SAweep—delisted

In order to uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of June 2, 2008, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR. Ruslik (talk) 07:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

The reasons:

1) The lead it too short. It should be 3-4 paragraphs long.

2) There are few citations in the text.

3) Many references have only titles and weblinks, some of them are dead. The information about publishers, authors, date and years of publication should be provided as well.

4) 'The Fawcett family' section contains a large extract from 'Notes on the Fawcett Family' of Roger Fawcett. However this extract is long for a simple quotation and may have copyright problems. It is not even properly atributed because the ref 8 is dead.

I've added more references and more info in references. For "Fawcett Family" I have added two references directly to Travis Fawcett, who is the sole source of the "Fawcett Family" ms. (which may have been published only on the Internet and without a copyright). Pepso2 (talk) 11:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
