Fair use rationale for Image:Mary-erskine.gif
editImage:Mary-erskine.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 ensure 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.
Introductory paragraph too long
editI think the introductory overview lead section to this article is far too long. It has six paragraphs and almost 400 words. Wikipedia guidelines for the introductory section are that it should be brief: "... Good articles start with a brief lead section introducing the topic. We discuss lead sections in greater detail below. The lead section should come above the first header; it is almost never useful to add something like ==Introduction==. Sometimes, the first section after the lead is a broad summary of the topic, and is called "Overview", although more specific section titles and structures are generally preferred..." I think I have read somewhere that the lead section overview should not contain any citations. Citations should be included in detailed descriptions sections below the lead section. This article has eight citations in the lead section. I suggest much of the present material in the introductory lead section be moved down to the body of the article.SylviaStanley (talk) 10:10, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
