- I agree, and I was the principal writer for the article when it was added to WP.However, our personal point(s) of view (POV) don't belong in a WP article, just the facts, so I deleted your statement there. Happy 100th birthday this month to Mr. Hill. Vaoverland 19:43, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] His Race
I think it is important for non-Americans to know what race he was, given the context for which he is famous. Since he attended Howard, I presume he was black, but it would be nice to know for sure. 128.6.62.33 20:45, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- He is stated as an African American several times throughout the article. --RandomOrca2 21:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:OliverHillBldg-2.jpg
Image:OliverHillBldg-2.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
