			You ask for a free use image. One of the more well-known portraits of VL can be found at

			http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/g_l/lindsay/lindsay.htm

			The page also has a link to other images that may enhance the page. I suppose they are available for fair use. The person who has posted them on that site has also given his e-mail address if you want to make sure.

			::Well, I am not saying its OR, it just appears that way because the source information is too ambiguous. Add some inline citations and that will go a long way toward fixing the problem I think. I know what I put up is kind of vague I will try to do a more thorough review later today or tonight. : ) See [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources]] too. I am sure you have reliable souces to back up everything in that section and like I said I didn't mean that it ''was'' original research but as is now it would qualify just because of the amibibuity of the sources. That's all. See [[Springfield, Illinois]] to check out the clean up there. This isn't a bad article just one that needs to be documented better.[[User:A mcmurray\|A mcmurray]] 17:24, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

			Hi... I am not sure this is the right page to respond, but I wrote the original Vachel Lindsay article. I have material to back up comments... but honestly this is the first time that I have written something that has been critiqued in this way... so I would welcome some guidance of what you are actually suggesting that we add here. Much has been written on Lindsay; it just struck me as amazing that nobody had written on him here. Regarding the quotation of the poems, I can give the citations. Regarding the racism allegations, I tried to hit a balance between those critics who have lambasted Lindsay for racism with those who, like me, feel he was fairly enlightened for his time and was a fine poet. If I erred here, help me in cleaning this up.

			As a professor, I tried to tone down the scholarly aspect of my usual writing... that said, if I toned it down so much that this has become unacceptable as material, I would be happy to modify it. I simply need some direction that is a bit clearer than "Every single part of it qualifies as original research"... In short, what DOES qualify as reliable source material... I can provide this to whatever extent and in whichever format the wiki editors suggest.
