This paragraph makes many assuptions about the reader's previous knowledge of the story. Most of the sentences make no sense or make associations without merit (particularly the one that discusses Hogarth having a gun and his dad believing him about the robot). In my opinion, this article needs a complete rewrite.

I agree. I haven't read the book though. 24.154.173.50 16:45, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I removed the summary on the basis that it made very little sense. It's a fairly mediocre article, remaining a stub for over a year and 25 edits - perhaps it should be merged with the Ted Hughes page? ~ Eidako 13:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC) Retracted. ~ Eidako 09:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Iron man book.jpg

Image:Iron man book.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 ensure 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.

[edit] Glaring Omission

Why is there no mention of Black Sabbath's awesome song "Iron Man" of which this novel was the inspiration for?

I AM IRON MAN!

C'mon. It's Sabbath! Jack Meihoffer (talk) 03:18, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
