How should we indicate that the book is now in public domain?[edit]

Since it was published in 1925, the US copyright has expired. How should we indicate this in the article? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/29/books/copyright-extension-literature-public-domain.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glubbdrubb (talkcontribs) 15:03, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Isn't this novel about d'Herelle's life?[edit]

If we go to this subject:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_d%27Herelle

We read that Arrowsmith is based on Felix d'Herelle's life. Perhaps this point should be added, as I don't see such mention in Arrowsmith (novel).

Fair use rationale for Image:Arrowsmith cover.jpg[edit]

Image:Arrowsmith cover.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 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.

The fair use thing makes no sense because this book was written in 1925 and that image is presumably from the same time period. The copyright is null and void. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.168.197.142 (talk) 09:05, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia section[edit]

The trivia section(witch is discouraged anyway)incorrectly statesthat the title of this book was the inspiration for the name of the band Aerosmith. The Aerosmith page however says that "The name had popped into his head after listening to Harry Nilsson’s album Aerial Ballet... ...Initially, Kramer’s bandmates were nonplussed; they all thought he was referring to the "boring" Sinclair Lewis novel they were forced to read in high school English class" So I'm deleting it.--Sir Joe Cool (talk) 04:46, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
