Talk:William Wallace Atterbury

Focus
I think the focus of this article is a bit off. W.W. Atterbury was a railroad official first, was given a military post during WWI precisely because he was qualified to sort out U.S. military railroads and transportation, and returned to being a railroad official after the war. The article seems to treat him as a military man first and foremost, which I don't think is accurate. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 01:07, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Time-magazine-atterbury.jpg
Image:Time-magazine-atterbury.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Missing child
John Wallace Barnum. I am categorizing images from Wikimedia Commons and came across John W. Barnum, in the Nixon and Ford presidencies he served as general counsel and then as deputy secretary for the Department of Transportation. (wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q64013745). His obituary (https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/nytimes/name/john-barnum-obituary?id=16063357) states he was the son of William Wallace Atterbury and Emma Frances Long born in 1926. He must have changed his name when his mother married Walter Barnum in 1938. - Caddyshack01 (talk) 11:27, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
