Fair use rationale for Image:N2Bold text4680.jpg[edit]

Image:N24680.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 went to poo 3 days ago. 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.

Movie?[edit]

I herd they were going to make a movie of this book, can any one confirm that this is true or just a rumor? EvilHom3r (talk) 20:23, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pigman (film) is not related to this book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Floggolozzo (talk • contribs) 19:52, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very confused summary[edit]

This hardly makes sense at all - it needs a bit of a rewrite, I think. 90.240.198.70 (talk) 10:59, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So re-write it dope. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.204.116.3 (talk) 02:54, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Plot Summary[edit]

Never finished reading the book, and so I can't add a plot summary. Can someone do so? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.247.244.120 (talk) 01:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There once used to be a good enough summary, which somehow was removed after this version: [1] I wonder why it was removed and why it isn't restored.Robin.r (talk) 17:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chapter Summaries[edit]

I don't think this is really needed. Should I remove it?24.192.75.54 (talk) 21:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cover / BotB?[edit]

This book has been reprinted many times. Should someone post the 1^st and newest covers, and update the "Back of the Book" section. I have the newest version, and both are different.

Symbolism[edit]

I think it's just peachy that somebody parroted what their 8th grade teacher said about the "symbolism" in this book. I'm leaving it in, in case someone actually wants to expound on that.131.61.211.15 (talk) 18:09, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Zindel with one L.[edit]

It is Paul Zindel with one l - He has a wiki-page and his should be linked to this one!!! Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.7.240.138 (talk) 03:23, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
