Fair use rationale for Image:John Ogbu.jpg

Image:John Ogbu.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 checkin 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.

African American Vernacular English

The Oakland statement on the "genetic base" of AAVE draws from terminology that linguists use to describe the evolution of language, showing salient features inherited from an ancestral language, not the biology of the speakers themselves. Spanish, for example, derives genetically from vernacular Latin, and has nothing to do with the biology of Spanish speakers. AAVE derives genetically from various West African languages, and has nothing to do with the biology of AAVE speakers. The article should be careful in quoting specialized language that differs from its everyday, and loaded, use. Kemet 01:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Intelligence Citations Bibliography for Articles Related to IQ Testing

I have posted a bibliography of Intelligence Citations for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human intelligence and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in those issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research and to suggest new sources to me by comments on that page. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 17:03, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
