POV notice

[edit]

This is a hagiography, and the tone should be amended throughout to comply with Wikipedia:Neutrality. Alex Middleton 10:43, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Faculty status

[edit]

I'd like to get confirmation as to whether Swem was a W&M faculty member. It sounds like he was "Librarian" at a time when that title was analogous with modern library deans, so it's likely he was. If so, we can categorize him more accurately. --BDD (talk) 20:02, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Photo?

[edit]

I came across this page while linking to one of his earlier works, a 1918 compilation of Virginia legislators since 1776. I was surprised to see two photos removed. Given his date of death, I would think that non-copyrighted photos exist, but don't have the time to look. I know the College of William and Mary cooperates with wikipedia. Hint.

Wikipedia photo can't be added to Wikidata and thus can't be added to infobox

[edit]

I added an image of Swem which is allowed on Wikipedia under Fair Use. However, it can't be imported to Wikidata. Since the infobox is automagically importing Swem's details from Wikidata, I can't add this image there. Is there a nice solution to this besides rewriting the infobox?
