[edit] Mouth of Truth images

To reduce the number of images on this page a bit (it's threatening to become a gallery), is it possible to have the two Mouth of Truth images reformatted as a single animated gif? 23skidoo 18:22, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roman Holiday

I took out "According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a "Roman holiday" is "an occasion on which entertainment or profit is derived from injury or death; a scene of suffering considered as an object of amusement; a pitiable spectacle" (alluding to holidays devoted to gladiatorial spectacles)." since none of it seems to apply.

[edit] Split off unrelated novel

I was puzzled at first when I saw the Novels Wikiproject tag. Then I saw the itty-bitty section about Upton Sinclair's book. Since 99.999% of the article is about the film, I'm going to start up a novel article. Clarityfiend 21:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Screenplay Credit

From the Ring Lardner Jr. page:

"According to Hungarian writer Miklos Vamos—who visited Lardner several times before his death—Lardner won an Academy Award for a movie he wrote under a pseudonym. Lardner refused to tell which movie it was, saying that it would be unfair to reveal it because the writer who allowed Lardner, Jr. to use his name (as Lardner's pseudonym) was doing him a big favor at the time. It later was revealed the film was Roman Holiday and the writer was Ian McLellan Hunter, who with Lardner co-wrote the book for Bert Lahr's short-lived 1964 Broadway vehicle Foxy."

Is there any truth to this? If so, should it be mentioned here? 128.103.14.62 01:59, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Audrey Hepburn & Gregory Peck 4.jpg

Image:Audrey Hepburn & Gregory Peck 4.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 22:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Public Domain?

I heard that this is in public domain because of missing copyright indication, therefore screenshots are available on Commons. If copyrighted, screenshots ought to be uploaded to english local (not commons) with fair use indication, and in lower resolution (under QVGA). If till copyrighted and renewed, copyright indication on the package of video soft ought to be indicated that

[edit] AFI 100 Years ranking

I think it would be appropriate to include that "Roman holiday" is, based on the American Film Institute's 100 years movie ranking, the 4th best love story of all time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.188.13.130 (talk) 04:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
