[edit] No photo?
Why aren't there photos of Erle Stanley Gardner in this article? That would make sense to me.--Will 04:16, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Probably because they are copyrighted. Photos in this encyclopedia should be in the public domain, it means they must be really old, or having been handed out as promotional material, or made by whom uploads them. That is not easy, if the subject of the article died less than 40 years ago.... Kraxler 22:08, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lester Leith/Peter Wimsey?
Does anyone have a citation for this comparison? It doesn't seem reasonable to me. Yes, they both have butlers, but that seems to be the only overlap. Wimsey works with his butler and Leith works against his (because he's a police spy). Wimsey is an altruistic crime-fighter and Leith is out to enrich himself. Is there a reference that suggests that Gardner deliberately conceived Leith as a Wimsey parody? Accounting4Taste 14:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- The comparison doesn't seem reasonable to me, either. I think there's more likely to be a connection with the 'gentleman thief' Raffles. In fact...I think that might even not be original research.... Marieblasdell 23:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Negligent nymph.JPG
Image:Negligent nymph.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 23:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Museum section
The museum section contains no information about the museum except for the address and number. It should at least have the history, and when it opened. If this cannot be fixed it is considered a violation of WP guidelines, as per WP:SPAM as an advertisement. —Coastergeekperson04's talk@01/18/2008 02:41
