Fair use rationale for Image:Infam.jpg
Image:Infam.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.

Questions & Notes on Introductory Paragraph
The article has the publication date of Plimpton's book as 1997. An article I found online says that Plimpton published the book in 1998. Amazon has both publication dates listed and has one paperback edition published a year before the hardcover. Anywhere to get the definitive info?

The introductory paragraph was really one long sentence, so I broke it up into two sentences. The sentence previously said "Infamous, based on the book..., covers the period ...." The phrase "covers the period" seems to refer to the film "Infamous," rather than the book by Plimpton, but don't both cover the same period? I didn't want to say "The film covers the period...," because it might imply that the book doesn't cover the same period, so I just used "It." Ambiguous pronouns should generally be avoided, and admittedly, "It" can refer to either preceding noun: the film or the book. In this instance the use of "It" seems OK since the article is about the film and the film is the only noun in the independent clause of the prior sentence.

My other edits: As originally written, the sentence ended with "... in the film Capote a year earlier." Since the italicized "Capote" is so subtle, a reader on first glance might read this as "in the film Capote a year earlier. Of course a reader with any sense would realize that the modifier is not part of the title, but refers to the time relationship between the two films. Still, it's better to avoid interrupting the reader's train of thought; that's why I moved the modifier closer to the noun and verb of that clause. For a similar reason, I moved to an earlier point in the sentence the phrase identifying Plimpton as the author of the first book. The book's subtitle is so long that a phrase immediately afterward could have been read at first as part of the title. These are minor grammar points and I wouldn't have changed the sentences except that I was already editing this section to avoid an overly long sentence. Ileanadu (talk) 16:24, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
