[edit] NPOV?

The Wayward Bus, by John Steinbeck, is one of Steinbeck's lesser novels, but its clear writing and solid character delineation testify that second-rank Steinbeck is still very good writing indeed.

POV, anyone?

[edit] What?

"Any modern viewers who seek out this film, in hope of watching a bitchy confrontation between these two cult figures, will be disappointed."

Wait, what? Am I seeing that wrong? --68.236.246.78 00:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I changed the NPV confrontation text as this is outside of typical Wikipedia style, ya? JaySeaAre 02:16, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Anyone?

Can anybody change this article? It's sad that Steinbeck has less accurate discussion than J.K. Rowling is afforded. I mean, seriously. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.37.134.182 (talk • contribs) 00:02, 24 February 2007.

Amen, and can anyone add a better book cover? How about the original first? --64.236.245.243 14:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TheWaywardBus.jpg

Image:TheWaywardBus.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 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.
