Fair use rationale for Image:Arnoldlobel.jpg
Image:Arnoldlobel.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 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.

Books completed by Adrianne Lobel
Two books were fashioned from manuscript materials by Adrianne Lobel long after her father's death and published in 2009. We list them in the book series article Frog and Toad, which may be a mistake. There we say they were colored by Adrianne (and we say more).

One of Frog and Toad is "YouTube video from HarperCollins – Adrianne Lobel describes how her father's handmade books were discovered and how she colored them". I don't do internet audio myself.

Here we list Odd owls & stout pigs at the top of Selected works as writer; Frogs and toads all sang in its subsection Frog and Toad series, which may be a mistake.

In library catalogs Odd owls & stout pigs is "illustrated by Adrianne Lobel" or "color[ed] by Adrianne Lobel". The latter shows a cover image that seems to say "Words by Adrianne Lobel" --as we say here, now in refnote#6..

Books section
how are you deciding what is going in the books section as opposed to what is present on Arnold Lobel bibliography? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:34, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I missed the bibliography because it isn't integrated innthe article but just tagged on at the end as a "see also". Is there a reasin for it to be separate? I don't think the combined article would be too long. It seems reasonable to expect an author's books to be listed. At least the more notable ones if we can't list them all.

 * I split it originally because it so seemed to dominate the page. I also did this when I was a much less experienced editor. Perhaps some use of columns could alleviate that. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:34, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm flexible User:Barkeep49 but I think it would be helpful at least to list his books here. I don't think the entry is overly long. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:21, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * As I look at some other authors with a fairly long list of works, I'm seeing most of them split off into their own articles with a text overview, e.g. Ursula_K._Le_Guin or with only a few works chosen e.g. Dr. Seuss. One of those approaches makes more sense to me than a straight merge - even with columns the bibliography would take up about an equal amount of screen real estate as the prose.

 * User:Barkeep I think a list of their books or st least the more prominent ones (who decides which to include?) would be useful. Keeping the extended bibliography seems fine and should inckude publisher, city and date of firdt publishing st least. But again for a reader making it easy and concenient for them to peruse an aithors2 work is useful. LeGuin seems pretty.exceptional in the number of publishings she made. Probably the same for Seuss. If you look at Eric Carle or P. D. Eastman I think the entries inckude the books at that's appropriate. FloridaArmy (talk) 19:59, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
