Talk:Tobias Wolff

message: :Image:Tobias wolff.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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Tobias wolff.jpg

message: Wolff is a big influence on David Sedaris? I don't see this at all. Neither do I really see the influence of Maupassant on Wolff's writing. I wonder how useful the influence section is.
Furthermore, I am not convinced that it is any longer correct to say that Wolff's novels are a minor strand in his oeuvre. The success of Old School has been considerable. I think it would now be valid to refer to him as a novelist. Macphysto (talk) 11:44, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 23:25, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I've removed the Wikipedia links for This Boy's Life because it doesn't feel right to have the link for a book link to the film adaptation, plus the film's page doesn't mention the book or Wolff at all beyond passing mention in the first sentence. It's not a helpful link for people consulting an encyclopedia for information about the book. Leopard of the Snows (talk) 04:52, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
