[edit] Trivia discouraged?

since when...? I went to the page Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines and it never mentioned a thing about trivia sections being "discouraged"... Did some random user get on and post that because he hates trivia sections for some reason, or is a moderator of this site seariously considering deleting the trivia section? and if so, why? whats wrong with trivia? its interesting, and adds a lot to an article. I find trivia sections to be the most interesting parts of most articles. As long as we can keep the trivia sections small and interesting (i've seen some that are 2 pages long and filled with pure, pointless crap), then they seem fine to me.

I'd actually agree with leaving trivia sections out of articles. If it's relevant to the body of the article, it should be integrated into the body. The last trivea point on mental health, for example, is relevant to the movie itself and could be included under the heading "Controversy" --Anthony 23:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversary

One thing which is interesting about this film is that it went out of the way to be controversial. The film-makers went out of their way to mis-diagnose the illness for comic effect. If I recall correctly, the tag-line of the film was changed to "Meet Charlie, Meet Hank" in Ireland because they didn't want to upset mental health charities. Black groups were also outraged at how black people were portrayed in the film. And no doubt the cow was thrown in to upset animal rights groups. --Anthony 23:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit]

A more accurate diagnostic for Charlie's condition would be Dissociative identity disorder, not Schizophrenia.

ok. who said anything about schizophrenia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.192.20.87 (talk) 00:15, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Um - the movie itself? Charlie is officially "diagnosed" with "advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcisisstic rage." Jikaku (talk) 06:37, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Me, Myself and Irene Posters.jpg

Image:Me, Myself and Irene Posters.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.
