I would like to see the Dolores Claiborn page broken off into two sections, one dedicated to the book and one dedicated to the movie version.

Reason being is the large differences between the movies screenplay and the book as written by King.

I'll be looking for feedback here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cathytreks (talkcontribs)

Indeed, the novel and film adaptation should be separated, and ideally written into separate articles. See the multiple articles on The Shining, King's novel, Kubrick's film, and the TV mini-series, for a fine model. Chris Stangl 00:20, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Done. More work should be done on the article, almost all plot stuff were about the movie. Hervegirod 10:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Writing style

What I am trying to describe here is that the story is not narrated like a written work, but like a spoken work: it's as if there was a tape recorded in the room when Dolores is telling her story to the police and the text of the novel reads as if her remarks were transcribed verbatim. Have I got the gist of it? Ellsworth 21:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DoloresClaiborneNovel.jpg

Image:DoloresClaiborneNovel.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 01:28, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
