Talk:The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Article creation in progress
This is being split off from the article MLA Style Manual. It deserves a separate article in Wikipedia. --NYScholar 08:01, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mla cover.jpg
Image:Mla cover.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.

Updated the fair use rationale provided earlier by other(s) and also added that have done so to the image discussion page (as requested above by that Bot). --NYScholar (talk) 03:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Inappropriate comments and questions deleted
Please see the top talkpage template; this talk page is not for discussion of MLA Style format; it is for discussion about how to improve this article on this subject. Editing the article is the subject of this talk page, not MLA format per se.
I answered the signed question posed about italics vs. underlining to be helpful. Since then, I've deleted the question and my reply because they are not germane to this talk page, which is to be only about editing this article. [The deleted content can be found in the editing history.] I also deleted other inappropriate content which was unsigned. (See above re: need to use four tildes to sign, and date, comments in talk pages.) Other such questions that do not relate to the editing of the article are most likely going to be deleted too.
This talk page is not a message board or forum about MLA Style. Please scroll up and read the talk page headers and information linked in them about Wikipedia editing policies and guidelines. Thank you. --NYScholar (talk) 23:18, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
