Seth Ilys, thanks for putting in the ISBN link. I actually didn't know you could do that. I wasn't advertising for Amazon and was a bit loathe to put the link in, but I don't know many other sites for book reviews.

I have no business interest in driving business to bookstores, but the stub was so incoherent when I picked it up that I wanted to flesh it out a bit. The ISBN link tip should come in useful in the future. Abqwildcat 20:40, 16 May 2004 (UTC)Reply

Where did the story come from wherein Geisel substitutes "Richard M. Nixon" for "Marvin K. Mooney"? It's not really cited here. Djcartwright 01:51, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

http://www.nationalreview.com/miller/miller200311210832.asp Cites a 1995 book entitled Dr. Seuss and Mr. Geisel by Judith and Neil Morgan. Unknown page number. Is a book citation without a page number sufficient? The Natl Review article provides more details to the story, with Seuss telling Buchwald after Nixon's resignation that "they should have collaborated sooner." --Gavroche42 17:29, 18 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:MarvinKMooneyWillYouPleaseGoNowBookCover.jpg

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Image:MarvinKMooneyWillYouPleaseGoNowBookCover.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.

grammar!

Suggesting that he could have [...] is unlikely.' is moronically bad use of the gerund

Averring that "'Suggesting that he could have [...] is unlikely.' is moronically bad use of the gerund'" displays poor grasp of the gerund. Despite what your J-school profs might believe, verbals are not gnarled boogie-men lying in wait for a chance to ambush and rape your sentences.
