[edit]

The former biography section was incomplete, anecdotal, informal in style, and partly copied word-for-word from the Guardian obit. I have substantially extended the biography in a more encyclopaedic style, with full references and notes. I am also extending the list of works to include as far as possible all Raven's published writings.Brianboulton (talk) 00:31, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have now expanded the list of works as far as I can, but no doubt there are omissions. Additions & corrections welcomeBrianboulton (talk) 00:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Simonraven.jpg

[edit]

Image:Simonraven.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Still too essay-like

[edit]

I've redrafted the lede, in line with wiki guidelines. Perhaps a Raven scholar may like to do the same with the main article. Valetude (talk) 23:45, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
