Roger Cook
this edit to Bloomfield High School (New Jersey) added a source from Classmates.com as a source. The problem is that the web site is not a reliable source, and even if it were, there any way to know that this is the Roger Cook in question. As such, the source will be removed. I have searched for sources in Google News / Archive and been unable to find anything. The sources needs to be a reliable and verifiable source from an independent book, newspaper or magazine that would establish that this Roger Cook, the graphic designer, attended Bloomfield High School. Alansohn (talk) 16:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC) Hi Alansohn , I am a reliable source, I work at the Bloomfield High school in NJ. Roger Cook the graphic artist is on our wall of fame and in our 1949 year book.
 * I don't doubt that the information is correct. But you may want to view the Reliable sources policy, which requires independent reliable and verifiable sources from publications such as books, magazines and newspapers. Even a reference to the 1949 year book would only establish that a person named Roger Cook attended the school, not that it was this Roger Cook. In the case of John A. Gibson, Wikipedia cannot be used to provide a source for itself, again, the source must be an independent source. If you can provide any independent sources, I would be more than happy to arrange the information in the proper format.
 * I was able to find a source from The New York Times for Johnny Gibson, which was added to his article and the high school article. Alansohn (talk) 05:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The source provided for Roger Cook (graphic designer) established that his parents settled in Bloomfield, and I will assume that he did grow up there as well, but it does not properly document that he attended Bloomfield High School. Alansohn (talk) 06:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Would a scan of the year book with his picture be proof that he attended Bloomfield High school? The picture matches his photo on his web page.(Sevildog (talk) 15:33, 6 June 2008 (UTC))
 * That's what we call Synthesis. I can't imagine that there are no articles about Cook that talk about his background. Are there any details on the Bloomfield High School web site about members of its hall of fame? Alansohn (talk) 15:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Hawaii calls during WW11.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Hawaii calls during WW11.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:50, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
