Talk:Happy Days (play)

Very strange reading
This article whips along with masses of great information until it gets to the character descriptions, which present an extremely unusual and rather misogynistic view of the two characters and their relationship. I have cut one paragraph which is particularly idiosyncratic, but the Willie section is problematic throughout in my opinion.

Fair use rationale for Image:Happy Days Faber.jpg
Image:Happy Days Faber.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.

Citation and confusion
"Cyril Cusack claimed that Happy Days was, by Beckett’s own admission, ‘influenced’ by his wife, Maureen Cusack’s request that he ‘write a happy play’ after Krapp."

This has no citation and also reads very confusingly because it initially looks like Maureen is Beckett's wife, and should be reconsidered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.146.28 (talk) 09:30, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Wording suggesting Beckett was married to Maureen Cusack fixed, and citation added. The sentence could still be better-written.Ctourneur (talk) 01:15, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
