message: Why is a person's race only mentioned when they are not white?  Why does this article mention her as an "African-American" actress?  Why not just an American actress?
1.  It is very unlikely anyone during her time would have referred to her as "African-American."
2.  Her race is mentioned a second time in the same sentance in reference to her being the first person "of African descent" to win an Academy Award.  In that particular instance her race is notable, but we shouldn't be pointing someone's race just because they are a minority in the USA.
:I think it probably should be changed from "of African descent" to "black" or "African-American"  because according to many scientists we are all of African descent.--Lairor 21:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: :File:Hattie2.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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for File:Hattie2.jpg

message: This article makes many mentions of her "oscar" yet the page for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award states that prior to 1943 the winners received plaques instead of statuettes.  Can anyone clear this up?  Did she receive a statue retroactively to replace the plaque or are people just using the wrong lingo?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Largo1965 (talk • contribs) 10:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also..the statue is missing???? How common is this? I thought that when a winner died, the Academy had the right to buy the statue back from the family, for the symbolic cost of $1. Anyone else know about this??? --98.232.188.173 (talk) 18:27, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Mo'nique's exact words were, "I own the rights to Hattie McDaniel's life story.... Mr. Lee Daniels is going to direct it, of course, and I'm going to be Miss Hattie McDaniel.". But this can't be true. One can own the rights to adapt a particular written biography or the rights to tell make an "authorized" biopic, but there is no such thing as having the rights to a person's life story. That's why there are so many unauthorized biographies that get written despite the objection of the subjects (which sometimes even get made into films). On the one hand, it would seem that the "own the rights" claim should be removed since it cannot be true. But it is probably better to just make the "own the rights" claim a part of the quotation, since Mo'nique did say it. So that's the change I made. 99.192.95.4 (talk) 17:17, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

message: An editor changed Hattie's birth date from 1895 to 1892 here. The change was reverted by my bot because the editor added their ~~~~ signature into the article, but someone knowledgeable may wish to double-check the birth date to make sure it's correct.

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
