Talk:Vesta Williams

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

Recent changes
The recent changes on 1/6/12 of added trivia (funeral attendees), who gave the family's official statement, non-MOS use of "Ms. Williams" and "laid to rest", have all been reverted as non-encyclopedic. Please see the article that addresses what Wikipedia is not for more policy information. More pointedly, Wikipedia is not a memorial site, a newspaper, nor is it a fan magazine/site. Please help keep the article encyclopedic in nature. ( talk→  LesHB   ←track ) 19:37, 7 January 2012 (UTC)


 * You are apparently not familiar with the R&B or black community. The funeral attendees are not trivia but important to this cohort/ community and in their own right.  I try to keep my edits as encyclopedic as possible. Your personal preference in language does not negate that.  — DocOfSoc •  Talk  •  11:24, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
