[edit] What's Up, Doc?

Let's start with your mother...The Dirty Lady Yeah

[edit] Amusement park content

I'd suggest this content might make a better match with the page for the movie Psycho (1960 film). These attractions are based on the film and it's popularity, not the book. Dina 22:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

The caption "Bates Motel Set" is somewhat misleading, as I seem to recall the entire film set was destroyed. For the Universal Tours, it was reconstructed. Pepso 15:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Story summary?

While I find the division of the novel into sections by POV character very helpful, as far as I'm able to determine, this summary is primarily based on the **movie** and not the novel. (Or at least not in the version of the novel I have from the library.) In the novel, it is a stuffed squirrel that plays the role that in the movie is served by the stuffed birds, and it is in the house, not in the hotel's office/parlor. Further, the line about not harming a fly is definitely not in the book, though it gives the movie its final chill.

The whole story summary section may have to be revised, so that it reflects the novel, and not the movie.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RobertBlock Psycho.jpg

Image:RobertBlock Psycho.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 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 04:49, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
