[edit] Turning a short article into one-sentence sections?

I'm not at all convinced that the very wholesale splitting of a couple of paragraphs into a series of sub-sections -- some of which have no content whatsoever -- has really enhanced this article. Until more content is added, I think this article might be better as it was, and I'm very strongly tempted to just turn it back to what it was. Am I on my own here? --Telsa (talk) 15:48, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

It is meant to be a spur to other editors to enhance this article and bring it up in quality to a full Novel article. Otherwise it will always remain a poor stub. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 15:51, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Owl servicePB 1973.jpg

Image:Owl servicePB 1973.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 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 05:27, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Release date

The article (and category) states this as a 1967 book, but in the box text, it states 1968. Which is correct? I've always understood it to be 1967.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 19:17, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] TV Version

I think it's time that the TV adaptation was given its own page, it's certainly notable enough, while the Novel is notable enough to be on its own. Anyone else agree?
Hopefully with the new DVD release, there will be some interest generated to do this. If not, I'll make a start.
I think on the importance scale - both Novel and TV should be mid-importance rather than Low - they're much more worthy than that in many respects.--82.0.207.86 (talk) 06:55, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
