Fair use rationale for Image:Richard yates.jpg[edit]

Image:Richard yates.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 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.

Residing between Salinger and Cheever?[edit]

What does the phrase "often cited as artistically residing somewhere between J. D. Salinger and John Cheever" really mean? This seems more like name dropping than useful information. Where has this been cited? Would it be more on target to say similar "stylistically and thematically similar to Salinger and Cheever?" I came to the article to learn about Yates, but phrases like this leave me guessing.Dale M (talk) 03:02, 17 March 2009

Thanks for explaining[edit]

"Yates's fiction was autobiographical in nature, as his fiction included much of his own life." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.36.82.122 (talk) 02:23, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anglo-Saxon[edit]

Having trouble finding out where his parents or ancestors were from in Europe, I would appreciate this information here. Using the term "American" does little to establish one's identity in such a diverse country, only one's location... --Bod (talk) 00:09, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
