Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Why this is a subpage

List of movie appearances of the Statue of Liberty is a "daughter article". The original title was: Statue of Liberty/List of movie appearances. By having this information in a subpage, it allows this useful information to be presented without overwhelming the main Statue of Liberty article.

The Statue of Liberty is a cultural icon, so a separate list of movie appearances makes sense. Also, by breaking this off into a separate page, it can be categorized distinctly (ex: Category:Lists of films) thus making this page an effective internode--a bridge between the culture of movies and Lady Liberty.

I don't understand who asked the question you are answering. I see no one asking why the list is seperate; only my statement that it's against WP policy to use subpages... Cburnett 20:41, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)

I'm answering the question before it is asked, because I know someone will ask it sooner or later. I have no problem with renaming the article. I do prefer explicitly naming the article as a subpage, because then everyone can instantly see how it fits into the context of the broader-scoped Statue of Liberty article. But the current name and setup, as a "daughter article", works fine too. A "child of liberty". :-)

[edit] Pet Shop Boys

The Pet Shop Boys were using the image of The Statue of Liberty, but it was red, probably symbolising communistic liberty. See for yourself : [1]

[edit] Merge The Statue of Liberty in popular culture to here

• Support and rename. I suggest moving the content from Statue of Liberty#The Statue of Liberty in popular culture to here. Though some of the pop culture items are computer games and television appearances, so this article should be renamed. Off the top of my head, I suggest Statue of Liberty in film and media or something like that. This article might also become more than the list (table) it is now. But, by splitting of that section of Statue of Liberty (as well as the replicas), the article can be more focused and to the point. -Aude (talk | contribs) 15:32, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Support. Rename: "in film" is too narrow; "in pop culture" is too broad; maybe "in entertaintment media." Also: remove all cases where the statue is used merely to establish the location. This list is only any good to anyone for those cases where the statue figures prominently in the plot; a comprehensive list would eventually have thousands of "establishing shot" refs. --Tysto 22:09, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
• I don't yet know if I support or oppose. But I would like to agree that "in film" is far too narrow. "In entertainment media" doesn't work either - there are citations of a live version of the statue having been built as a university, as well as proganda posters from WWII. "In pop culture" seems to fit better than either of those two. --Chancemichaels 20:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels
• Also agree that it should be limited to exclude establishing shots. The Statue should figure into the plot in some way - either it is destroyed during the film, or action takes place there, or the presence of the statue holds some importance beyond just being another part of the NYC skyline. --Chancemichaels 20:32, 14 March 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels
• Her presence in illustrations and other media outnumbers her presence in movies. There are so many in fact that it makes more sense to have a summary of that type of presence, such as her use to establish the exsitence of a distant future where the US is no more. --AlainV 18:59, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References needed

This article currently has no references at all.

We would not accept a book reference as verifiable if it simply gave the title of the book and left it to the reader to page through the whole book to find it; we need a specific edition and a page number.

If people feel that "the movie itself is the reference," then the items should be referenced by citing a particular edition of the movie (DVD or VHS if possible since they are much easier to obtain than film itself) and the number of minutes into the film in which the appearance occurs.

[edit] Spoof of statue in Eek! the cat

I remember an episode of Eek! the cat in wich the statue lies buried in the sands, much like in planet of the apes. Does anyone else remember wich episode this was in? - Redmess 14:13, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dredd

I think that in the Judge Dredd comics Megacity One conserves the statue but a nearby colossal Justice statue (of one of the Judges) makes visible the point that Justice is more important than Liberty. --84.20.17.84 17:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Done. --84.20.17.84 18:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bonerama 2004.jpg

Image:Bonerama 2004.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 03:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
