Talk:The Great Gatsby (1974 film)

message: :Image:Great gatsby1.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:Great gatsby1.jpg

message: A section entitled 'Some commentary on the Story portrayed in the Film' has been added by 134.241.194.66 (Talk). This appears to be just a film review written by the user, adding nothing useful to the article like a plot summary, and is practically the definition of WP:OR. I think it should just be deleted, since the content is all opinion theres nothing to rescue. Anyone object, or feel bold? ---Bazzargh (talk) 21:23, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Original Research 

message: I am disappointed that 'Some commentary on the Story portrayed in the Film' was removed. However, now I understand that it was considered original material or original research (or something like that) and that is against Wikipedia rules for postings. I didn't realize that before.You are right it was all opinion so it is appropriate that it was removed. I will try to contribute in some other way because I really enjoyed this movie.

thread_title: Disappointed

message: It's not easy to avoid mistakes in making such an historical film. Some are listed here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071577/goofs
The scene at the end where Gatsby is floating in a pool on a plastic raft looks odd for 1925. It looks like modern inflated sheet vinyl plastic -- did they really have such then?
:"In 1926, Waldo Lonsbury Semon was working for the B.F. Goodrich Company in the United States as a researcher, when he invented plasticized polyvinyl chloride."

thread_title:  No Plot? 

message: As revealed in this column on Slate, this article contained false information for the past two years, including that Vladimir Nabokov was involved in creating this film. (I learned of this from a post on Wikipediocracy, a site generally critical of Wikipedia.) I believe all the false information has now been removed, but editors with subject-matter expertise should check and verify the accuracy of the remainder of this article.
