Fair use rationale for Image:20cgHill.jpg
Image:20cgHill.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 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.

Joe Hill = Joseph Hillstrom?
This page is linked to from the Stephen King article in reference to one of his sons, Joseph Hillstrom. However, the editor given here is Joe Hill. Are they one and the same? I don't know if this is editorial oversight or a pseudonym or what. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdrice8 (talk • contribs) 07:02, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Pseudonym Confirmed
Yes. Joseph Hillstrom King wanted to be published on the merits of his writing, not his father's. He adopted the pseudonym of Joe Hill for his submissions. It wasn't until after the publication of 20th Century Ghosts before Joe Hill confessed his true identity to his agent Micky Choate. Micky Choate remained sworn to secrecy until Joe Hill was approached by Warner Brothers for the movie rights to Heart Shaped Box, at which point Joe thought maybe it was time to "out" his real identity before someone in the media did it for him.

Stories Included Per Edition
The first one listed... "Scheherazade's Typewriter" is listed as being available in all editions. This does not seem to be the case, as my First Edition: US is lacking that story (ISBN: 9780061147975). Can anyone confirm what edition this story is found in and update? Please and thank you. 76.235.170.39 (talk) 05:11, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Go about a page into the Acknowledgements section… you'll find Scheherazade's Typewriter hidden there. hornoir (talk) 12:57, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Proposed merger of Best New Horror (short Story), 20th Century Ghost (short story), and Last Breath (short story) into 20th Century Ghosts. The reason for merger is Text, as all the short story pages are very short and unlikely to be expanded; it would simply be better appearing to add a Plot synopsis section for each short story to the main article as well as include a "Previously Published in" listing for each tale. Pop Art (short story) was omitted from the suggestion since it has been published as a stand-alone novella/chapbook. As such, it may be expanded into an article worthy of a separate entry. hornoir (talk) 12:55, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * After further consideration, I've added Pop Art (short story) to the proposed merger list. Each story should have as detailed an entry as possible under the main article, thus separate printings and the sort shouldn't be regarded with any difference.  hornoir (talk) 15:22, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
