Fair use rationale for Image:Peter Burnett.jpg
Image:Peter Burnett.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 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.BetacommandBot 06:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

None of the quotes listed under "Quotes" appear to be from Peter Hardeman Burnett's inaugural address, which can be found here: http://governors.library.ca.gov/addresses/01-Burnett.html

Also, the link for reading his inaugural address does not work.

Double standard
In the article for Toni Atkins it notes that when she temporarily served as acting governor that she became the first openly homosexual governor of California. When I edited this article to state that Governor Burnett was the first openly heterosexual governor of California, it was deleted as being "unnecessary". Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.103.10.69 (talk) 03:24, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

an explanation to your question: Governor Burnett's heterosexuality is unnecessary because the queer community is a minority. Governor Atkins being openly homosexual is evidence of progress against homophobia. Contrary to some's beliefs "heterophobia" does not exist, meaning they were never barred from office for being straight. Hope this answered your question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:643:C101:A150:898B:5F56:D4B5:3C9D (talk) 18:52, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Burnett Middle School in San Jose to Change Name
After a community feedback process, a committee of students, school staff and community members 12 possible names were put forward to a wider vote, then narrowed to 3, which were sent to the school board. Ohlone Middle School was chosen. Noellegi (talk) 17:10, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
