Talk:The Little Drummer Girl

Help
I cannot find anything on the internet explaining the title of this book.

I always assumed it was just a play on words based on 'Little Drummer Boy'; that's just my opinion. Shimbo 02:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Who is the terrorist's brother, Salim or Michel? Having mentioned "Kahlil's brother, Michel" in its first paragraph, the Plot Summary section begins its second by referring to a "Salim," who also seems to be someone's brother. Is one the alias of the other? Foamysquirrel 13:31, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:JohnLeCarre TheLittleDrummerGirl.jpg
Image:JohnLeCarre TheLittleDrummerGirl.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 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.BetacommandBot 06:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Regarding Salim and Michel: Salim is the brother's real name, but he goes by Michel (partly to conceal his relationship with his much more notorious brother, but perhaps also as a sign of his more Western/bourgeois leanings). Acooksy (talk) 21:29, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
