Fair use rationale for Image:Jean Spangler promo.jpg edit

 

Image:Jean Spangler promo.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 09:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Notability? edit

I'm confused by this individual's supposed notability, but I do not doubt that it exists; it only needs to be explained properly. Because most of this article deals with her unexplained disappearance, is that what Spangler is known for? Why does this warrant an article? Where are the sources? These are things that need to be dealt with, and better explained -- especially in the lead section, which is meant to be a summary of the article. I would also like to know more about her life, since the article should in essence be a biography and not just a re-hashing of probabilities dealing with her disappearance.

Also, I added the {{references}} tag (which has now been removed, it would seem) because external links are not the same as sources; this article lacks references/footnotes/inline citations. If reliable, secondary sources are available, they should be utilized properly. María (críticame) 01:24, 20 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Apparently incorrect fact edit

This article states that the note found in the missing woman's purse ends with a comma, indicating it was left unfinished. However, the article does not provide any source for this information. Furthermore, apparently authentic photographs of the note that can be found online, as well as transcriptions of it in contemporary newspaper articles also available online, show that the note ends with a period.

User:Jtcarpet The October 5, 1952 edition, pg 10 IA, of the LA Times says "The note ended with a comma and was unsigned." Took me five seconds to find it. Contemporary sources may be looking at the original that is very likely faded. I would go with what was written at the time of her disappearance and shortly thereafter.MagnoliaSouth (talk) 20:36, 7 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

I think that a newspaper article is of dubious validity in this case. Who knows why the reporter stated that the note ended in a comma? If you Google "Jean Spangler note" you immediately see numerous images of the original note clearly showing that the sentence ends in a period. Grammatically, also, a comma would be an awkward punctuation if the sentence was unfinished. The sentence appears complete with the period ending. No grammatically appropriate continuation following a comma is really feasible.12.90.180.254 (talk) 17:24, 25 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
