Talk:David Blackwell

message: The article claims that Prof. Blackwell was the first black tenured professor at UC Berkeley, but this seems to be incorrect. The first black tenured professor at UC Berkeley was in fact the first black tenured professor in the entire University of California system, Joseph Gier: https://eecs.berkeley.edu/about/history/gier. It seems Prof. Blackwell was the first tenured black professor at UC Berkeley with the rank of "Full Professor", but not the first with tenure.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minilek (talk • contribs) 18:14, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

message: :Image:DHBlackwell.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
