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.

message: To the editors that edited this page today:  This Wikipedia article does not belong to Concord Academy.  It does not belong to the students of Concord Academy, nor is it to be written in a way that is most beneficial to the Academy, its students or their families.  This, and every article on Wikipedia is to be written in a manner as to be interesting and useful to the whole English speaking world.  There are standards for articles written on schools on Wikipedia (WP:WPSCH/AG) and there are standards for who can and can't be included in "Lists of notable people" in such articles (WP:NLIST).  That latter standard says , in short, that unless a person is notable enough to have their own Wikipedia article, they are not notable enough to be on such a list.  Further, said Wikipedia article (or independent references) must show a connection to the school.
I admire that you want to keep up your school's Wikipedia article.  As you do so, however, keep in mind that Wikipedia articles are to be written in neutral language and are not for the promotion of the school.  In the next few days I will bring this article in to line with the school article guidelines.  Please don't add back tons of fluff that isn't interesting to anyone but one with a connection to the school.Gtwfan52 (talk) 18:56, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Deleted 3x from the article by user John from Idegon: 
Mary "Molly" Gregory (1914-2007), taught woodworking circa 1950s-1960s; formerly on faculty of Black Mountain College. Reference 1: Reference 2: )
She is of note in various histories of Black Mountain College as a female, farmer, and faculty member. Also the American Craft Council's 20th c. survey timeline describes Gregory as specifically "notable." Why not include her as a notable teacher at Concord Academy? -- 1630ab (talk) 11:33, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Being mentioned in various books about a larger subject does not make for notability. Having written things does not make for notability. Your link to the craft council doesn't work for me but in any case, being referred to as notable by an organization that the subject apparently belonged to (? Or not....it really isn't relevant) does not make a subject notable. What makes a subject notable is being written about (made note of) in detail in multiple reliable sources. In order to show that she is notable here at this article would push what you write here to a size where it would give undue WEIGHT to a subject that is at best ancillary to the article's subject. So please take the advice I gave you the first time I reverted your addition and write the article first. John from Idegon (talk) 18:52, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I should note that for either teachers or alumni to be included, two things must be shown with reliable sources. First, that the subject meets the notability requirements at WP:BIO. This is generally shown by having an article. It is not required to have an article, just to qualify to have one. However, other editing considerations such as WP:WEIGHT do apply. The other thing needed is a reliable source to attendance or employment. All this is per WP:NLIST and WP:ALUMNI. There are some achievements that make for automatic notability (examples include but are not limited to: Playing in a top level professional sports league, holding a state level or higher elected office, winning a nation's highest military honor, being on an Olympic team). When one of those situations is present, it's relatively simple to add a notable person who does not have an article. However, when the person's notability hinges on WP:GNG, as in the case at hand, you must add multiple references that are entirely independent of the subject, meet reliability standards and discuss the subject in detail. You have not shown that yet and in order to do so, the entry will be a weight issue. John from Idegon (talk) 17:37, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
