[edit] Work needed on this article

I deleted a lot of unsourced verbiage that sounded like a vanity article. Please review WP:LIVING and WP:VAIN. It's unnecessary in this case, since S. Gammell is a notable illustrator. If other editors want to put some of the info back, it would seem more encyclopedic with some cites of verifiable sources. See WP:V. Also, the article would be better with an author infobox (e.g., Stephen King), and a complete bibliography. Tomcool 00:41, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images themselves

shouldnt we add something about the utterly disturbing and nightmare inducing these drawings are, and their ironic use in childrens books? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnonHat (talk • contribs) 09:54, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Scary Stories 3 book cover.jpg

Image:Scary Stories 3 book cover.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.
