Fair use rationale for Image:BattlefieldandClassroom.jpg

Image:BattlefieldandClassroom.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 22:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Concerned

I'm concerned - is this a copyvio of http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-Classroom-Decades-American-1867-1904/dp/0806136030 ? Hipocrite (talk) 21:02, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

"Anglo-Saxon Society"

Howdy everybody, I changed the wording for a verse under the title "Cultural Assimilation of 'Native-Americans' today, late 19th through early 20th century modern America is not 'Anglo-Saxon society'.

Anglo-Saxon society ended shortly after the year of our Lord 1066, with the death of King Harold during the battle of Hastings, and the invasion and settlement of England by the Normans.

While we of English descent may carry Anglo blood in our veins we also carry Saxon blood, French (Norman) and Danish (Norman), as well as Celtic and Roman blood before them, and if our family's been in America for very long then no doubt Indian blood also, likewise for the Indian man.

However you want to argue it, modern-American society is not 'anglo-saxon', nor 'english', nor even 'English/Anglo-American, not even 'white' society will do, as we've had many blacks and colored, whether slave or free, which make up our society. Indians, or 'Native-Americans' have been in America a good while longer than white, or colored Americans, are native from birth, as likewise the white American is, yet are not 'native' to this land by the intended purpose of the term, whether you believe in evolution or creation, whether you are a Mormon, a Christian, or an unbeliever, the ancestors of the Indian man crossed through Alaska not before 3000BC.

'American' is the term for the society of the United States of America, and the Thirteen Colonies which preceded them.

I hope this settles some things and causes no discord nor debate. - Faithfully yours in the Lord, - Eli. J.K. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.30.23 (talk) 04:15, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

I just changed it to "mainstream American society", which I think gets the point across. Yes, those in power were mostly white at the time. You could say "wider American society". The concept we're looking for is dominant culture but it would be wrong to attribute views on that issue to people in Pratt's era, because they didn't think in those terms. If you had asked one of them they would have said Indians are not part of American civilization because they're not civilized; they would probably have been more accepting of other minorities. - Wikidemon (talk) 19:20, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
