Talk:Gordon Parks

message: This article is looking really great.  Parks was an amazing man and I'm proud to have contributed to this biography.  Hopefully, this is a fitting tribute.
Now what I think we need to work on most is improving our documentation.    SteveHopson 01:55, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Back in the days of the late 60s, early 70s, when visual porn of every stripe hadn't yet driven the written stuff off the market, I had a paperback porn novel whose title escapes me that involved, at least in part, photography.  I'd never heard of Gordon Parks at the time, but I then ran across a reference somewhere saying that he was the guy who had written this book under a nom de plume.  As I recall, the book did have more about character and general 
novelistic stuff than the average porn book of the epoch.  Any confirmation of this?  I didn't see an reference to it in any of the obits. Hayford Peirce 18:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Shaft Movie.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 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.BetacommandBot 03:47, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

message: i'm going to nominate this for GA, since the revscore indicates it..  i trust User:Zxtxtxz has it in hand. Duckduckstop (talk) 20:15, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The revscore indicates a prediction of B, with B at 50% (GA only 12%), and the article has two significant problem templates on it. The nomination would be quickfailed at GAN, so I'm removing it. You might want to ask the WikiProjects whether their current assessment of C-class should be revised upward to B-class, but it may be that the issues in the problem templates need to be addressed in order to qualify for B-class.
