I re-drafted the lede of this article, mentioning that the phrase 'The Jazz Age' was Fitzgerald's own coinage. Someone has edited this out. But the dedicated Wiki page says this:
Maybe we need to specify that it is only credited to him. But I think it is an appropriate mention. (I realise, of course, that if it's in the lede, it needs to be in the main article too.) If no-one objects, I will re-insert it presently. Valetude ( talk) 19:15, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

There is a fantastic image] of Hemingway and Fitzgerald together in Paris. However, it was made in 1925, so the copyright will not expire until 2021. If you know of any other appropriate images, please contribute. Thanks. ~ HAL 333 19:45, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Everything does not look good at all, far from it:
And that is just the first section. Cassianto Talk 17:23, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
Some of your objections are helpful, but some are unfounded.
If it mentions that it is a Catholic prep-school, I doubt the reader would assume he was Southern Baptist. I also think it's pretty obvious he's not a pupil-I've never heard of a teenage Father. Explaining that would clutter it up and just be straight redundant.
It's funny - I've never heard of WP:Who cares?. The football bit is included as he mentions him later trying to play football at Princeton.
Once again, the reader will likely care. When I first came across the article, I cared and found it very interesting. If someone's relative is executed for conspiring to assassinate the president, that's pretty relevant, especially for someone like Fitzgerald, who is essentially a part of Americana.
Word of advice-if you're going to attack someone for reviewing a GA improperly (which I don't think they did), you should make sure your complaints are actually valid. ~ HAL 333 18:55, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
"Word of advice-if you're going to attack someone for reviewing a GA improperly (which I don't think they did), you should make sure your complaints are actually valid." -- Word of advice, if you don't understand decent prose, then perhaps creating content isn't for you. Go back to fiddling around with your boring Epstein article, or obsessing over infobox discussions, and leave the writing to those who know how to do it. As someone who has written 20-odd featured articles, take it from me, I know a bit more than you. Cassianto Talk 19:23, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
You Brits and your pompous semantics, I'm done with this conversation and am returning to productive efforts. Go back to making sure some (retracted) have featured articles. Please cut the wikihounding as well. Adios. ~ HAL 333 20:19, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
Not sure if you're referring to my use of Brits or "Adios", neither of which is racist. British is a nationality, not a race. (My father is British anyway.) There is nothing racist about using Spanish (which is used by all races in Spain, the Americas, and the Philippines) words in English-ever heard of Spanglish? That is a very heavy accusation you just made, and I contest it. ~ HAL 333 20:47, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
I could get British citizenship automatically if I willed. I was referring to English vernacular, not the people. I now remember your ad hominem in the last Stanley Kubrick discussion, when you called me a snowflake. I'm now done with this conversation. Please don't follow me across Wikipedia through me talk-page anymore. Goodbye. ~ HAL 333 21:01, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
