How can the title be fixed? The correct title is The $64,000 Question. Pepso 18:30, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

There is no technical limitation which stops the $ sign from being used in the title. If the correct title is The $64,000 Question, it should be changed unless anyone has any objections to it being changed. --tgheretford (talk) 17:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In the UK the phrase is "The 64 million dollar question"

I'm not sure this article covers the fact that in the UK people say "the 64 million dollar question" when they mean the most important question, they do not say "the 64 thousand dollar question". However, I imagine the origin of the phrase is the same, but somewhere down the line "thousand" got changed to "million".

Also - why 64 ? How and why did this ammount come about? Why not 60 or 50, a round figure?

[edit] Category board

This article makes a passing reference or two to a category board but never explains it. Could somebody please add it? — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 02:00, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Error?

I believe there is an error of fact in this article. It states that Gino Prato, the humble shoe repairman, "won $64,000" on the program. The article that appeared in Time magazine in 1955 states that Mr. Prato stopped at $32,000 and refused to go further, on the advice of his father. That is also my recollection, as I watched that program live when it broadcast! I would not demand that anyone trust my memory after 50 years, but the Time article is available online at: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,807567,00.html I did not wish to edite the article without further verification, but if someone can offer further evidence, I think the correction should be made.

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

Image:Takeitorleaveit.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.
