[edit] McJob

This article says that McJob is a neologism created by this book and later fell into popular cuture. However, the McJob article says the term was created by Amitai Etzioni and only popularized by this novel. Someone with more information, please fix this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.157.213.174 (talk) 21:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of term

Over at the Generation X article, it's suggested that the term pre-dates Coupland's novel by some margin, but that the novel popularised the term. The article for the novel suggests otherwise. Would anyone more knowledgeable care to comment? --Plumbago 17:23, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the page to answer my question LGagnon. Cheers, --Plumbago 08:44, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Seattle and Vancouver

I've reintroduced the fact that Nirvana was Seattle based. Without mentioning the connection between the city and the band, reference to the proximity of Vancouver and Seattle makes no sense. Victoriagirl 03:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] American publisher

Although the book was written by a Canadian, St. Martin's Press is an American publisher. In fact, it has no Canadian offices. Victoriagirl 03:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Followed by

Isn't the "followed by" section for sequels? Just because Coupland wroter SP next doesn't mean it's supposed to be listed there. -- LGagnon 21:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

• My understanding is that "followed by", as found in the infobox, is intended to indicate the author's next published book. Of course, in the case of those who pen series, there is usually no difference.Victoriagirl 21:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

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

Image:Generationzxthgde.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 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.
