Talk:American craft

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Proposed Article Amendment

I would like to propose that the last three sections of this article under the history section be constructively revised. My peeve is that the figures mentioned in those sections are not the only notable craft figures of the relevant period. I propose that either or both 1: a new section is added to this article listing notable figures in the development of American Craft as a whole in which brief biographies and/or perhaps links are provided and 2: the notable figures and the discussion encircling their careers are relocated to the relevant field page; glassblowing, ceramics etc. I think it is important to maintain field neutrality in this article. Mentioning one figure as important to a decade or period without mentioning others presents a significant bias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.212.109 (talk) 01:55, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

By all means add additional figures. There are many important figures who have not yet been included. They should be, and your efforts to add them would be welcome. Klmarcus (talk) 00:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:80423003.jpg

Image:80423003.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 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.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Dale chihuly2003122504.jpg

The image Image:Dale chihuly2003122504.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.
