Orphaned non-free media (Image:Whitewashing.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Whitewashing.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:24, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:B-W-Poverty-Rates-764451.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:B-W-Poverty-Rates-764451.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

White-washing Race The Myth of a Color-blind Society
As reviewing administrator, I've been checking this page. I think the book is notable, butt he article needs some considerable work: I'll check back in a few days and see how it's going. DGG (talk) 01:25, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Reviews of t he book are necessary to shown the Notability, butthey must be cited from the actual original review, and not from sources likeweb pages and book jackets--if they've been reprinted somewhere conventient, that too should be added, but only published reviews can be used, not blurbs
 * 2) References must be given for t he awards
 * 3) The summary must be reduced to a reasonable amount, enough to tell the reader what the book is about,with quotes from the book used in only a few selected cases for major conclusions of the study. We don';t usually use extensive subheads, and we don't necessarily go chapter by chapter through the entire book. I did some copyediting to the first paragraph--I leave it to you to shorten the remainder.
 * 4) The information about the authors seems like a book jacket blurb. Rewrite it.
 * And, yes, the images mentioned above will be removed if you cannot provide an adequate justification. Myself, I don;t think they're really necessary.
