Talk:Duck and Cover (film)

message: I felt it was necessary to add that the Duck and Cover sheltering style was still being used for purposes unrelated to nuclear attacks, like the Hillsborough County School District in Tampa, Florida. I know this, because I am a student in this district concurrently. This district is just one example of many districts in the United States, that use this style.

message: *This is my second time trying to get this nominated, and I think that I and the others have written everything there is to be written on the subject at this point :-) After I started this page (yes, it's a self-nom) I put it on the FAC, and was turned down unanimously--although suggestions for improvement were provided. So we worked some more on it. I took it to the Collabartion of the Week, but they said they only worked on stubs and couldn't help me. So I've been adding more ever since. -Litefantastic 16:43, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The result of the debate was PAGE NOT MOVED - I went with Nick Boalch's suggestion, making Duck and Cover the disambiguation page and moving the band article to Duck and Cover (band) after cleaning it up a bit.  It still probably needs an AfD.  While Duck and cover is arguably the primary use, it's not the primary use with a capital 'C', so I think putting the disambiguation page there is fair. -GTBacchus(talk) 18:09, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Oppose a move of Duck and Cover (film) → Duck and Cover; but support an alternative of Duck and Cover → Duck and Cover (band) and Duck and Cover (disambiguation) → Duck and Cover. It's not clear that any one option is the 'primary meaning' here. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\talk 12:44, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Lea headline.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 ensure 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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Lea headline.JPG

message: I removed this article from the category "American anti-communist propaganda films". Not every film involving preparedness for nuclear war is anti-communist. And there is nothing in this film that makes any reference to this; therefore I don't believe it qualifies for the category. 68.146.81.123 (talk) 21:20, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Category removal rationale

message: The lead paragraph states that the film was made with the help of schoolchildren in New York City and Astoria, New York.  Astoria is in New York City (the borough of Queens).  Perhaps what's meant is Manhattan (which is "New York City" to many) and Astoria? Wi2g 02:27, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Film location

message: The picture linked to illinois.edu , and others like it, were the basis on which the advice to cover exposed skin was given in the Duck and Cover film. 
Are those that object to the references inclusion in the article denying that the leaf in the picture protected the underlying telephone pole in 1945 from the thermal pulse? Or are you trying to argue that this picture, and others like it, somehow played no part in shaping the advice to Duck and Cover?
I wonder, if you were unfortunate enough to find yourself standing in the same spot as the telephone pole in the picture, or further away from a larger nuclear weapon, would you, or would you not Duck and Cover?
