This page looks terrible with all the red all over place. Aleta 10:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Also, not highly important, but the Non-fiction "word wrap" in the first column looks messy. I tried a number of things - all unsuccesful. (e.g. Removing the "-" just gets the whole of "Nonfiction" on the next line!) Pdfpdf 05:48, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Award name?
Currently the article says:
When first given in 1971 the award was called the Gay Book Award. Over the years the name has changed:
- Gay and Lesbian Book Award (1987-1989)
- Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Book Award (1994-1998)
- Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Book Award (1999-2001)
In 2002 the award was made under its current name which derives from the 1969 Stonewall riots.
However, http://www.ala.org/ala/glbtrt/stonewall/stonewallbook.htm implies that:
- from 1998 to 2001 (inclusive) they were called "The Stonewall Book Awards", and
- from 2002 they have been called the "Stonewall Book Awards- Israel Fishman Non-Fiction Award" and the "Stonewall Book Awards- Barbara Gittings Literature Award".
i.e. They were awarded by the GLBTRT, but they were never actually called the GLBT Book Awards.
Can anyone throw some light on this? Thanks. Pdfpdf 06:26, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Glbtrt.gif
Image:Glbtrt.gif 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.
