[edit] Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 22:19, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- What's the support for all the lesbian categories? I found some on looking it up, but it just indicates she had some affairs with women. Not that she considered herself a lesbian or was deemed so by others. In her later life I imagine she would outright reject such an image.--T. Anthony 14:29, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

- As we have no source of her as being an advocate, outspoken or her sexuality being even a minor part of her work, I think we should remove her from the list. It is not mentioned in her article either. --Knulclunk 03:13, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
A rather sad state of affairs when, someone has to state sexuality when it did not influence the artist's work or image.
No wonder Wikipedia is shunned by academia "en masse." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.188.131 (talk) 02:58, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Early Life
The section ended mid-sentence, so I copy-pasted the lost chunk to it from the last edit where it still was included. As I've done nothing but restoring old text, I have no idea how correct it is. If this text is incorrect, someone please fix it. 83.249.236.210 07:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ethelwaters-cvr2.jpg
Image:Ethelwaters-cvr2.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.
