[edit] Comments

she is a great person —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.129.69.249 (talk • contribs) 21:21, 7 February 2006

Someone please clean this up. I don't know enough about her to do it or I would. The article seems to halt midway through sections, and I as a pilot fid it hard to believe a wrench magically siezed her engine after allowing her to climb to 500 feet AGL. Maybe I'll have somefree time to look into it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.3.12.238 (talk • contribs) 07:18, 7 February 2007

Please list this wonderful woman as Bessie Elizabeth Coleman not Elizabeth Bessie Coleman. I wanted to find information about her and put in Bessie Coleman (her well known name) on the wikipedia and it came back as if nothing was listed about her. When I googled her I was led to the excellent Elizabeth Bessie Coleman article that every person can enjoy. Just a suggestion. Thank you.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bessie1995.jpg

Image:Bessie1995.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.

I dont really kno much about her but I do understand it took her a while to get her pilot license and I respect how she never gave up on her dreams no matter how rude or disrespectful anyone was...
