Fair use rationale for Image:Herbert Boyer.jpg
Image:Herbert Boyer.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 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.

destiny of most young men
The first sentence of the biography requires revision:

"Hebert Boyer was born in 1936 in Derry, corner of western Pennsylvania where railroads and mines were the destiny of most young men."

This is not the prose of a reference article, but more of an editorial or novel.

I think the article could mention the blue-collar origins of Derry or the prominence of the mining and railroad sectors without this sort of language about "destiny". The implicit meaning appears to be most of the population of Derry will become manual laborers, but Dr. Boyer "escaped" this "destiny". Such a sentence doesn't belong in wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.102.112.194 (talk) 22:21, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
