[edit] Nesbit's anti-semitism
I removed a comment referring to E. Nesbit's "profound anti-semitism" and replaced it with a more general statement. It's undeniable that there are anti-Jewish slurs disfiguring Nesbit's work (as well as attitudes toward class and race that, ironic or not, make rather unpleasant reading today); and I have adduced some additional (and uglier) examples of this tendency in the companion article on The Story of the Amulet. However, I'm not familiar enough with Nesbit's life to know if she was a "profound anti-semite" or simply a subscriber, at this point in her life, to the superficial anti-Jewish prejudices common among the Edwardian English upper classes. A far more positive portrayal of Jews appears in Nesbit's later novel Harding's Luck, which suggests that she was open to change in her beliefs. In any case, this is an issue that should be addressed foursquare in the main Edith Nesbit wiki, not introduced parenthetically into a wiki about one of her books. 68.100.18.183 13:17, 19 January 2006 (UTC)RandomCritic.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:EdithNesbit ThePhoenixAndTheCarpet.jpg
Image:EdithNesbit ThePhoenixAndTheCarpet.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 Wikipedia articles 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 06:00, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
