Fair use rationale for Image:Crown cover.jpg

Image:Crown 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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 23:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Best known as...

With all due respect to Longfellow's own work, I think it would be more true to say that she is best known as the widow of Vivian Stanshall and guardian of his artistic heritage. What do others think?? Rodparkes (talk) 18:33, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I agree that in England she is best known as Vivian Stanshall's widow, but in the US where Vivian is not very well known (a crime), she is best known for her own work. So you are right and wrong at the same time. So what about saying this: ...best known as the widow of Vivian Stanshall and for blah blah blah? Getitrighty (talk) 20:07, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

As a fan of Longfellow's latest book, I only found out about Vivian Stanshall by researching this article. I'd never heard of him. So, to me, she was and is known for her writing. But reading about Vivian on his own page I can see that fans of Vivian might only know her as his widow. Most of these are English, right? I agree with Getitrighty. Try to work in both. I'll do that now.Shanalk (talk) 16:29, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Once a Thief

The IMDB entry for Once a Thief doesn't mention Longfellow. Any RS for this claim? -- Hoary (talk) 06:30, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Problems with tone and sources

There is too much reliance on interviews with Longfellow, with little third-party Reliable Sources. Haven't any of her books been reviewed by newspapers or magazines? The article has had the tone of fan magazines, and way too much unsourced material about her early life. It should not read like an essay. Have edited it to try to tone it down and stick to facts. Needs better sources, not her or publishers.Parkwells (talk) 17:31, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Problems with sources

The sources cited cannot be verified: undated article on Toronto.com can't be found online, even by article number; no transcripts online of radio interview; no date for interview in Bristolian, etc. Essentially this means the article is unsourced, other than being able to verify publication of books through publishers' websites. If this can't be corrected, all these cites will be removed.Parkwells (talk) 14:54, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
