[edit] "First Generation"?

A first generation American is someone who immigrates. His or her children are second generation. She can't be a first generation American who was born in America. Any better biographical info?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TemeraireUK5.jpg

Image:TemeraireUK5.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] "Naomi Novik and Transformers Fandom"

Random trivia: Naomi is/was a very avid Transformers fan, and for a number of years in the 1990's was the headwiz of Transformers 2005 MUSH. She did a considerable amount of the coding and building on the game and was an active presence until the late 90's. Unfortunately there is inadequate sourcing for most of this, as it's tribal knowledge among the people who played on that game during that timeframe. The only thing that solidly ties her to the community comes from notes on various websites (such as the one above, or the Transformers Online Encyclopedia that are sourced to her, and from her posting history on alt.toys.transformers.

[edit] Attitudes toward fanfiction

As part of the fan fiction project [1] I think that articles of SciFi authors who have been strongly involved either Pro or Anti fanfic should reflect that stance. Naomi, clearly, would be a "Pro" fanfic author. Any thoughts on where this information would best go in the sci fi authors template? Sherrold (talk) 05:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
