[edit] Book Shows

The section on books shows makes no sense--he was blacklisted in 52 so he began to work on shows that premeried almost a decade earlier?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rhymes for the Irreverent (book).jpg

Image:Rhymes for the Irreverent (book).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.

[edit] Cleanup

The lyrics and accompanying POV made a mess of the article. This is not a fan site! Tried to make better order of the sections. There's a major gap between the early 60s and Harburg's death, which someone needs to fill. J M Rice (talk) 20:02, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect?

Since "Yip" is a nickname, it would be nice to have at least a redirect from "E. Y. Harburg", which is how I first searched for him (fruitlessly - I had to work around through the Vernon Duke article.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.228.42.18 (talk) 18:17, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] "Progressive" and "leftist"

"Progressive" is a POV term for Harburg's political sympathies. I have changed it to "leftist", which seems to me a neutral term not likely to offend persons of any political persuasion. 173.16.252.154 (talk) 14:03, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Mention his poem?

The article doesn't mention his poem "On That Great Civilized Morning", a fairly bitter satire that criticizes the condescending attitudes Westerners showed to the independence of African countries in the 1960s. The poem became lyrics (along with lyrics by Pete Seeger often called "Wimoweh") for a song by the Chad Mitchell Trio called "An African Song (On That Great Civilized Morning)" which was popular enough to make it onto The Best of the Chad Mitchell Trio. Is that notable enough to be mentioned in this article, and if so, where do you think it would fit in best? Jwrosenzweig (talk) 08:19, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
