[edit] Diatribe

Dudesleeper, I do not appreciate you classing my addition to this article as "diatribe"! CX23882-19 18:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

It kind of was, though. Your expanded version is acceptable. Dudesleeper 18:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

• Fair enough, but just to prove my point (and that I'm not just making trivia up :O), here you go:

In both cases, the tree appears pretty much dead, with three large main branches low down, with "fingers" coming off each of them. Notice that the a few seconds of just the tree are shown, before the actual "sacrifice" bit, which I believe is there to bring it to the attention of the audience (although I might be clutching at straws now). Also, I changed The 'Burbs to The 'burbs, as I believe that to be the correct spelling (although as it only appears as THE 'BURBS in both the movie and Dana's original script, that could be up for debate).

I think The 'Burbs looks better, but that's just an opinion. I'm considering redirecting the whole article to a new page with the apostrophe included in the name. Dudesleeper 22:02, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

RE the apostrophe in the article name, I agree. It seems that right now, the entries WITH the apostrophe redirect to the one without. This should be the other way round.CX23882-19 18:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BurbsDVDR2.jpg

Image:BurbsDVDR2.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 16:00, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot

The detective talking to Art after the Klopeks' house had been blown up said that Walter had been taken to the hospital on Monday night; so from that, it was possible to work out the days. The section needs tidied up because it was written (in bulletpoint form) by myself in LiveJournal's Mayfield Place community. - Dudesleeper · Talk 13:35, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Butlers' house

Are we sure this is the "Munsters House"? I thought it was the one one or two houses further down (away from the other characters' houses). - Dudesleeper · Talk 12:22, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
