Fair use rationale for Image:Sealtexas.jpg
edit
Image:Sealtexas.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 Wikipedia: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.
Namesake
editThe article asserts:
"His parents named him, not for Governor Richard Coke, but after Methodist bishop Thomas Coke."
But Caro's Means of Ascent claims, to the contrary, that he was named for Governor Richard Coke. (p. 146)
The statement in this article is unsourced. Unless someone can find a source that backs up the bishop as namesake, I'll change it. SS451 (talk) 05:06, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Editor: Yes, Coke Stevenson was indeed named for Methodist Bishop Thomas Coke. His three brothers were also named for prominent Methodist churchmen--Bascomb, Pierce and Mark Asbury. I know this to be true because I am the daughter of Coke Stevenson.

not portrayed as, they were racist
editwith attitudes that have been portrayed as racist Wouldn't it be less weaselly to just say he was a racist as Caro does? Nitpyck (talk) 01:32, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
