[edit] Seperate into Book and Film
I have created a page for The Man Who Fell to Earth (film). This page shall now be solely about the book.
Added a thing about the 2007 version- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486859/
[edit] aging of Betty Jo?
The current version of the article says that Betty Jo "ages from her twenties to her fifties during the narrative". That's a bit unclear as the novel takes place over a five-year period so how did she age three decades? Needs elaboration. --Mathew5000 22:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Different editions of the book / revisions made by Tevis
Although the book was written in 1963, there's a reference to the Watergate scandal near the end (on p. 180 in the Del Rey edition published 1999). Obviously this reference was inserted sometime between 1973 and 1999, but when exactly? And what other revisions were made from Tevis's 1963 edition? I found this quite jarring while reading the book. I tried to find information about this from Google but hit a couple of dead ends: a query on Amazon.de that was never answered and a televised panel discussion which mentions the issue and seems to refer to a comparison of a new edition with an original edition "on the web site" but I could not locate that. In particular I would like to know whether Tevis authorized the changes. --Mathew5000 22:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Manwhofelltoearth book.png
Image:Manwhofelltoearth book.png 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.
