[edit] Peer review

Peer review The Plague Dogs has had a peer review by Wikipedia editors which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.

If anybody could add something more, I'd be happy ^^;


I don't think it's necessary to have separate pages for the two dogs - they're unlikely to be searched for directly. I'd integrate their stories with the main page. Also, your descriptions could lose a few subjective adjectives - "poor dog", "miraculous" etc.

More facts about the book would be nice if you can find any. From what I can remember of it, I'd be surprised if it hasn't been championed by animal rights activists, condemned by companies that carry out animal testing, etc. Rls 13:33, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RichardAdams ThePlagueDogs.jpg

Image:RichardAdams ThePlagueDogs.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 05:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Book v. Movie

I don't think this article should integrate stuff about the movie, it shold cover the book and only the book. A list of differences between the book and movie really belongs on the movie's article, since it was based off of the book. If the article is really so short that we have to add stuff that should be in other rticles, we are doing something wrong. Magicallydajesus 04:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
