Removed from Novels Wikiproject
editThis article had been tagged for awhile as being part of the Novels WikiProject, however I decided to remove the tag. The article describes the book as a short story, and checking my own copy there is no denying that the actual word count of the book places it far below even the novella threshold. If someone wants to overrule me, I have to objection, but I don't think this book is long enough to qualify for the Novels WikiProject. 23skidoo 01:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- More recently NovelsWikiProject has expanded it's scope to include short stories. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 15:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
That's nice, but what's the plot?
editThe plot summary is interesting, in that it says nothing about the book's plot. It says plenty about how the book was conceived (in fact for the most part it reads like one big quote) but very little about its actual contents other than that it concerned indoctronation. And then it starts talking about the film adaptation... So, umm, seriously, what is the plot? Darien Shields 04:20, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
- Read the story yourself: REMOVED BY Wellspring DUE TO COPYRIGHT VIOLATION. I'm not sure if this should be linked from the articel though.. You can also watch it on youtube.83.146.14.92 (talk)
- I agree. This "plot summary" consists of interpretations which, while appropriate to the entry, are not plot. Also, I've removed the link; it's a clear copyright violation. In any event "read the story yourself" is hardly an appropriate response to the objection raised. Wellspring (talk) 19:07, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:ChildrensStory.jpg
edit
Image:ChildrensStory.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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
