Talk:Tommy Storm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I loved this book when I read it & I was perhaps over-exhuberant when I saw that no-one had ever written a page for Tommy Storm(!), including quotes from the book cover and info on price etc. when I created the page. I've since recreated the page with all of the "selling information" removed. It's now much more of a sober encyclopaedic entry. The jpeg of the book is still there because I think it's relevant & I'd happily make it smaller & put it to the side of the page, but I'm not sure how to do it. --JamesDublin 18:15, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

OK. What you need to do is find some sources on the internet that talk about the book - reviews, information on how many copies have sold, or something like that. Read Wikipedia: notability and make sure that the book is notable. Natalie 18:19, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, Easons is the biggest book chain in Ireland. Here's the link to the book on their website.

[1]. If you look at the Reviews page on the Tommy Storm website [2], you'll see reviews from Declan Kiberd, perhaps ireland's foremost literary critic and also a review from a critic with Village (magazine) - the closest magazine Ireland has to The Economist. You'll also see an article (in PDF) from Image magazine - Ireland's biggest selling glossy magazine. Finally, you'll also find the book if you search [[3]]. --JamesDublin 18:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Those are good references, except for the Amazon one. Just being available on Amazon isn't really a reference. But those other two references are a start. They do need to go in the actual article, though. Natalie 21:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

The references mentioned have now been placed in the article. Hopefully that works. If not, please let me know. Thanks for your help. --JamesDublin 22:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TS FrontCover Compressed.jpg

Image:TS FrontCover Compressed.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 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.
