Fair use rationale for Image:Fanman.jpg
Image:Fanman.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 Dice Man
Badortes' constant use of the fan seems to suggest that — although not strictly a pastiche of Luke Rhinehart's 1971 novel, The Dice Man, in which the protagonist makes decisions based upon the roll of a die — Kotzwinkle was, in part, parodying the "Dice Man".Lindsay658 (talk) 03:53, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Original research?
"The book's most memorably absurd section is the chapter titled "Dorky Day" which features the repetitive statement of the word "dorky" by Horse as a cathartic mantra to dispel the ennui of a dead-end day. The bolded part is not in the text, it's someone's interpretation.It's also an individual opinion that this is the book's most memorably absurd section. It reads like a book report, not an encyclopedia articel. 172.58.219.167 (talk) 21:45, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
