Hello, AmberedTime, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles.

Replaceable fair use File:Cynthia Scott.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Cynthia Scott.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 21:43, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

My name is Rita and Cynthia Scott is one of the articles that i'm reviewing. To be honest, there is nothing missing in your article, you really did a great job! I thought maybe adding a bit more information about Scott's background, but I searched and there wasn't anything extra to be found. Finally, I just did a couple of spelling corrections in your article, but I did not change or add words.

Keep up the good work :)

Hello,

Your article on Cynthia Scott is very complete and well-written, so it does not need much editing! Here are some of my proposed changes:

"Her work with the NFB is in a mainly documentary vein, with many featuring dance including Flamenco at 5:15 (1983), which won an Academy Award for Documentary Short at the 56th Academy Awards in 1984." - This sentence is a bit awkward and could possibly be split into two sentences. Maybe it could be something like: "Her work with the NFB is mainly focused on documentary filmmaking. Her film Flamenco at 5:15 (1983), which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject, is an example of the many documentaries she directed at the NFB that featured dance."

In the Background section, the edits I would make would be to replace the semi-colon after Manitoba with a period, and change the "which" after the word family to a "that".

"In 1965, Scott returned to Canada and began working as a public affairs producer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television program Take 30 for nearly a decade." - I would change this to either:

"In 1965, Scott returned to Canada and began working as a public affairs producer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television program Take 30, where she stayed for nearly a decade." or "In 1965, Scott returned to Canada where she worked as a public affairs producer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television program Take 30 for nearly a decade."

"In Scott's first year with the NFB, she directed a 26 minute documentary named The Ungrateful Land: Roch Carrier Remembers Ste-Justine (1972), and would go on to win a Canadian Film Award (which would later become the Genie Awards in 1980 and then the Canadian Screen Awards in 2012) for direction in a TV Information program." This sentence is a bit of a run-on and could be split into 2 or 3 shorter sentences.

That's all. Great work!
