Talk:The Monkey Wrench Gang

Fair use rationale for Image:EdwardAbbey TheMonkeyWrenchGang.jpg
Image:EdwardAbbey TheMonkeyWrenchGang.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 Wikipedia articles 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 05:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Twelve Monkeys?
Seems to me that this could very well be an inspiration for Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys. Does anybody know more of have sources to back up this theory? Jantien 13:11, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

A Good Day to Die?
Just started re-reading Jim Harrison's novel (published in 1973) about three malcontents heading out to blow up a bridge threatening the Grand Canyon. Odd coincidence or was Abbey influenced by A Good Day to Die? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.43.206.79 (talk) 16:36, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

"The types of actions are said to have influenced the formation of environmental organizations such as Greenpeace"
Greanpeace was created in 1970, 5 years before the book publication. אביהו (talk) 17:27, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

I concur. Greenpeace (and its predecessor group) was founded in 1969-1971, so this is a confusing and misleading claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.105.13.46 (talk) 02:27, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Restructure/rewrite the Reception category
Only one of the quotes has a citation. It seems that somebody directly transcribed quotes from a copy of the book. There must be plenty of reviews and quotes online which could be cited.

Is there a reason to leave the Reception category as it is? MountainBarley (talk) 21:30, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
