Talk:Jed Harris

Personal history?
Can anyone look at ancestry.com and find his real birth location? This article says Lviv, he said Vienna, but I hear he was actually born in Newark. Can someone verify any of this? Also any pointers towards an early history bio would be appreciated. UnderPressure 18:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Added a "contradiction" template, for the same reason: article states he was born in Lvov, and born in Vienna, which can't both be true. - Nunh-huh 21:38, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Several internet sources including IMDB.com and other biogs state he was born in Vienna, not Lviv. Therefore I think the contradiction tags should be removed and the article amended accordingly. Any objections? Mickthefish 18:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The contradiction is still here. The German wikipedia article states Lviv, and also gives a small account of his life there before he emigrated to the United States. I cannot find any external sources that verify it, however. Reade (talk) 10:34, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Jedharris time.jpg
Image:Jedharris time.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.
