Fair use rationale for Image:William's Doll-HCpic-9780064430678.jpg

Image:William's Doll-HCpic-9780064430678.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.

Proposed Additions and Changes to the Article

Significant alterations I plan to make: 1. Add background section. Move second paragraph from lead section into this new section, using it as a skeleton to expand upon Zolotow's observations about the interactions between her son and husband in which William's Doll is a response to. Add a few sentences that expand upon the work's place in Zolotow's body of work which recognizes and legitimatizes the emotional capacity of small children. 2. Add summary section. Move first paragraph from lead section into this new section, using it as a skeleton to create a more thorough plot summary. 3. Add analysis section. Explore the impact of the book's ideas in the classroom: to address gender micro-inequalities, to promote acceptance, and to assist in bilingual contexts. In addition, add an analysis of the book's themes: non-traditional gender stereotypes, elderly female protection, etc. 4. Add reception section: As one of the first children's books to address non-traditional gender stereotypes, there were both positive and negative reactions to the book following publication. 5. Edits to the Adaptations section: remove block quotation in favor of paraphrase. The public opinion included in this section about the book's homosexual undertones moved to reception section. Add sources for uncited claims in this section. 6. Edits to lead section: Condense first and second paragraphs, which will summarize the background and summary sections, respectively. Add summary of each section to be created, add summary of existing Adaptations section. Edit first two sentence of the article to address the book's notability: first children's book to address nontraditional gender stereotypes. Baileybane (talk) 02:48, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
