Talk:Heywood R. Floyd

Fair use rationale for Image:Dr. Heywood Floydschedier.jpg
Image:Dr. Heywood Floydschedier.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.

Degree?
Do any of the books or movies give an indication of what field Dr. Floyd has his degree in? 206.53.196.52 (talk) 18:37, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You know, I think they might, but I'm not sure. Alas, I do not have the books handy right now, but I will try to look at them later. Jedikaiti (talk) 22:41, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Trivia
In line with Wikipedia guidelines, I removed the trivia section. In case anyone wants to incorporate the info into the main article later, I'm posting the removed text below. Jedikaiti (talk) 22:41, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Kubrick directed 2001: A Space Odyssey, and also directed the first film adaptation of Stephen King's novel The Shining. In the adaptation of King's novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, there were two characters named Heywood and Floyd.


 * 2001: A Space Odyssey shows a pre-recorded film with Dr. Floyd briefing the astronauts but his first name is spelled "Haywood".

One of the soldiers in "Full Metal Jacket" is named Heywood. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.58.100.154 (talk) 18:39, 7 April 2010 (UTC)


 * It's a pity that a few years ago there was such a dreadful witchhunt against trivia sections in the Wikipedia. So much valuable information got lost... --Maxl (talk) 23:51, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
