Talk:The End of the Road

message: Hey, isn't the awesome book written in the late 1950's and not in 1967?  Its in the 1967 category for some reason.  Maybe it was written later and I'm just suffering from acute cosmopsis, the cosmic view.  Teetotaler 30 June, 2008  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.68.22.207 (talk) 03:55, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

It would be great if anyone who has access tot hese books could use them to contribute to the article.  I live in Japan, so I can't access them either online or in the library, and I haven't found copies that fit my budget.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thread_title:  Infobox fields 

message: I propose removing the non-Free image :File:EndOfTheRoad.jpg for the following reasons:
#The omission of the image has zero appreciable impact on the reader's ability to comprehend this article.
#* WP:NFCCP #8: "Contextual significance'. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding."
#The image is not discussed in the body of the article, and I am aware of no source that does.
#The image illustrates none of the content of either the work or the article
#*It appears to be generic book-cover artwork, and gives no strong impression that the illustrator had even read the book.
#The image is not strongly associated with the work:
#*Only the obscure first edition used it.
#*The overwhelming majority of editions of the book are of the revised version of 1967.
#The copyright tag does not state the owner of the copyright
#* WP:NFCCP #10(a): "Identification of the source of the material, supplemented, where possible, with information about the artist, publisher and copyright holder, and year of copyright; this is to help determine the material's potential market value."
#*There is a guess in the rationale that it is either owned by the publisher or the artist, though it could also have be owned by a third party who provided the artwork for the book on a work-for-hire basis; basically, no attempt has been made on the part of the uploader or anyone else to find out who owns the copyright.
#It is the only non-Free image on a page that is otherwise entirely Free content.
#*There is no guideline requiring the inclusion of non-Free images, nor could there be.
* Support. Curly Turkey (gobble) 01:43, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
