Why is the title of this page "1983 novel" when everything, including this page, calls it a 1984 novel? What's the source on 1983? ThatGuamGuy 01:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)sean

Fair use rationale for Image:Talisman1983Cover.jpg
Image:Talisman1983Cover.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.

Publishing History
This section makes no sense. It says King moved to London in 1977 and stayed 3 months; while there he met Straub and wanted to co-write a novel, but nothing happened for ten years. In ten years it would be 1987, and this book was published in 1984. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.157.47.208 (talk) 16:25, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

... who is the twinner of a gunslinger named Parkus in the Territories
Firstly, the whole "gunslinger" thing it ret-conned in in the sequel.

Secondly, even in the sequel Parkus explicitly says he is not a gunslinger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.108.228.26 (talk) 17:37, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
