message: :Image:Dr.SamLoomis2007.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 03:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a suggestion that this page needs more references and sources.  For a page that is essentially a plot synopsis of a number of films, I think that is a bit unnecessary.  I would go out on a limb and guess that the reference material or source for the assertions regarding Halloween 4 might be, oh, Halloween 4?Pink-thunderbolt (talk) 16:12, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not unnecessary; it's policy. The amount of plot synopsis that's included should be trimmed too. See WP:V and WP:PLOT. Rray (talk) 17:38, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

text: No, I'm honestly trying to tell you that encyclopedia articles are supposed to include multiple references. No one's time has been wasted because I added an accurate tag to an article and then explained why on the talk page of the article. Chill out. Rray (talk) 23:10, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Perhaps you should nominate the article for deletion then, since you seem to think that reliable sources don't exist to demonstrate the subject's notability. Rray (talk) 02:48, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

text: The tag is correctly placed. The article needs more references. I won't be arguing the point with you any further. Rray (talk) 14:39, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

text: I think you're correct. The problem is not the lack of sourcing; the problem is that the plot summary section is too long (over 3200 words). I've removed the refimprove tag and replaced it with a tag indicating that the article contains too much plot summary. If I have time, I'll try to trim the amount of plot summary that's included in the article myself at some point, maybe after Christmas day, and then we can remove that tag too. Happy holidays.

message: Loomis is a psychiatrist (MD) not a psychologist (PHD).  Only a psychiatrist can administer psychotropic medications like Thorazine.  This is an error not only in this article but also made at points in the Halloween franchise.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.90.251.109 (talk) 09:55, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Could Loomis have been inspired by Truman Capote? After all both interviewed mass murderers and went on to write bestselling books about them? --194.81.33.25 (talk) 13:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

message: In the section "Tenure at Smith's Grove, 1963 - 1978", the character of Michael Myers is given the middle name "Audrey".  This seems a bit silly for the character in question, which strikes me as possible vandalism.  Any thoughts? -Fogelmatrix (talk) 13:38, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
