Talk:Rocky Steps

Merge
I don't think this topic really deserve its own article. It could be easily shortened and merged into the PMoA article and not loose any pertinent information. Furthermore, as a life long resident of Philadelphia I've never heard the Art Museum steps referred to as "The Rocky Steps", so I'm not even sure the article title is valid. Go here to discuss this.

 * I disagree. There is no need to shorten it, but most of the material is not directly related to the museum. Therefore it should stay separate. Hawkestone 17:14, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Images
I would like to add these images to the article, but have only been able to find web resources. Does anyone know of a source that we can use to get these photos? -

Fair use rationale for Image:Rocky poster (British).jpg
Image:Rocky poster (British).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.

Real-life inspiration
Shouldn't this page mention somewhere that the scenes of Rocky running up and down the steps were inspired by the real-life training regime of Joe Frazier? (So it is claimed in that article, anyway.) Terraxos (talk) 21:49, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to actually talk about this article so I guess I'll write it here. People in Philadelphia refer to the steps as "The Art Museum Steps" and not "The Rocky Steps." I've never heard anyone in the city call them "The Rocky Steps." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.92.113.243 (talk) 19:58, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

You can not see Independence Hall from the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
You can see City Hall from the top of the steps. Perhaps that is what the author meant to write. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.163.156 (talk) 04:05, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
