Fair use rationale for Image:MarieMcDonald.jpg
edit
Image:MarieMcDonald.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 ensure 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.
Miss New York?
editThe article states that, "At the age of 15, McDonald began modeling and competed in numerous beauty pageants and was crowned Miss New York in 1939." Yet neither the Wikipedia article for Miss New York, nor the Miss New York Organization[[1]] makes any mention of her, under either her stage name Marie McDonald or her birth name, Cora Marie Frye. The reference cited in the article for this info is a book about Mamie Van Doren. Has anyone actually read this book, and verified exactly what was said in it?

I agree this is inconsistent and shuld be removed until verified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.136.252 (talk) 05:34, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
