Talk:Edgar Allan Poe in television and film

Ongoing clean-up
This is a difficult article to maintain, so I hope a couple editors will put this on their watchlist. Just for some background, this article is meant to be a clearinghouse for references to Poe's works in television and film. My personal opinion is that it's a good way to get potentially irrelevant or trivial information out of full articles on Poe and his works; this kind of information has the potential to weaken those articles, especially as many border on WP:OR (if you see that stuff in other Poe articles, feel free to pluck them out and add here). I'll also suggest to people that the "sister article," Edgar Allan Poe in popular culture is a great repository for depictions of the historical Poe (not his works, but the man himself), so be sure you're adding to the most appropriate article. With that said, clean-up is an ongoing task on this article and, really, this list is never-ending so help is always welcome. Anything else worth mentioning? --Midnightdreary 04:06, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Blackcat.moh.jpg
Image:Blackcat.moh.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 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 Spell
There's an Iranian film called The Spell (in Persian: طلسم) which is loosely based on the script of The Pit and the Pendulum (1961 film). It was released on 1986 and Dariush Farhang directed it. I say this because I have watched both. But unfortunately, I couldn't find a reference to support this claim. Aminabzz (talk) 22:10, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
