Talk:John Swainson

Burial
Some websites show Swainson was buried at Oak Grove Cemetery when Find A Grave Memorial clearly show he was buried at Oakhill Cemetery. Both cemeteries are located in Manchester, MI. Jjmillerhistorian 14:01, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

 * The Political Graveyard says Oak Grove Cemetery. So does . However, I find more persuasive the pictures reported to be from Oak Hill Cemetery at Find a Grave. corrected link John Burley Swainson at Find a Grave which now shows Oak Grove. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 20:40, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:John Swainson.jpg
Image:John Swainson.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.

George Romney didn't walk with MLK and Swainson
This news article from 1963 describes George Romney declining the invitation to accompany MLK and Swainson on the "Walk for Freedom." Romney declined because, as a Mormon, he did not wish to walk on a Sunday. That was the reason as reported at the time by the NY Times, as repeated here:. So I'm removing Romney from the list of marchers in this article. Qworty (talk) 01:44, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
