Talk:Charles Van Doren

message: Has anyone read his most famous book A History of Knowledge?  He can hardly be considered an intellectual after having published that book.  I have rarely ever seen a book that omitted more information and included other information that didn't belong in a summarizing history book.  He may be a lot of things, but an "intellectual" he is not.  The opening line of this biographical piece should be changed to reflect who and what he has achieved.

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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Charles-van-.jpg

message: In his memoir, published in the July 28, 2008 number of The New Yorker, Van Doren states that he plead guilty to a charge of "second-degree perjury for lying to the grand jury." So we need clarification about whether or not he was found guilty of a crime. The Wikipedia page now states: "However, nothing that anyone did violated any law that was in effect at the time, so no one went to jail as a result of direct involvement in the quiz show scandals." 24.213.151.2 (talk) 20:18, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
