thread_title:  Synopsis 

message: The term going postal has two meanings. The US meaning is for a postal worker to go on a rampage shooting. The British version is for a postal worker to go insane about the amount of mail to deliver, hiding it in their house as it gets built up.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.97.158 (talk) 17:47, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a reference, maybe to an interview, where the cover art is stated to be a parody of the poster? I would just like to have that rather than having a Wikipedian make the call on it.Slavlin 19:23, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Going postal00.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:Going postal00.jpg

message: This is a call to arms to make the Terry Pratchett article a Featured Article. It will greatly help the cause if all the side articles that link from it are of a reasonable standard. Terry Pratchett has around 40 side articles (ie the ones relating to his work) - I don't think they are all expected to be GA (Good Article) standard for TP to become featured, but certain basic elements will be looked at for sure. 
A full list of the sub articles is here on the TP talk page: I'm posting this comment on the talk pages of each article on the list. Editors reading may also like to help with the TP article too? 
The main issue, especially with smaller articles, is often a finding reasonable amount of citations, and prose can sometimes be a little  POV too. Coverage of the topic is probably less important, but of course it needs to be reasonably good. --Matt Lewis (talk) 15:00, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a cite for the tv airing date? I've seen it listed as both '2009' and as Easter 2010. Edit: actually I see that the main article on the TV version also lists Easter 2010, but has no citation.--24.106.177.2 (talk) 15:15, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  TV adaptation 

message: I changed the link to point to a redirect Going Postal (Tv Film) since it's much neater and more consistent with wikipedia.
IMO there should also be a redirect on Going Postal (Novel) as well, but I'll leave that to more experienced wikipedians. 
In actual fact, why isn't Going Postal a disambig page :S Gazzat5 (talk) 05:43, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I just wanted to add to this... I was looking for information on this book but found it confusing when searching because the only difference between the Going_Postal and Going_postal namespace seems to be the capitalization of the P in Postal. The namespace for each looks very similar within the text and it is impossible to tell which is correct without actually loading the page first. Maybe the novel should be Going Postal (Novel) for clarity. astrogirl (talk) 11:44, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
