Talk:The Wayward Bus

NPOV?
The Wayward Bus, by John Steinbeck, is one of Steinbeck's lesser novels, but its clear writing and solid character delineation testify that second-rank Steinbeck is still very good writing indeed. POV, anyone? --Kranak 10:06, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

That is probably the worst introduction to any book description I've ever read. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gracenumber3 (talk • contribs) 05:40, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've NPOVed the first sentence a bit. Morganfitzp (talk) 05:38, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * ...but I just read more of the article. Oh man... Morganfitzp (talk) 05:42, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

What?
"Any modern viewers who seek out this film, in hope of watching a bitchy confrontation between these two cult figures, will be disappointed." Wait, what? Am I seeing that wrong? --68.236.246.78 00:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I changed the NPV confrontation text as this is outside of typical Wikipedia style, ya? JaySeaAre 02:16, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I read that film section and wanted to just delete the whole thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Morganfitzp (talk • contribs) 05:42, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Anyone?
Can anybody change this article? It's sad that Steinbeck has less accurate discussion than J.K. Rowling is afforded. I mean, seriously. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.37.134.182 (talk • contribs).
 * Of course he does. This is Wikipedia, not a respectable online information source. Kade —Preceding undated comment added at 23:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Amen, and can anyone add a better book cover? How about the original first? --64.236.245.243 14:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:TheWaywardBus.jpg

– There are three entries listed upon The Wayward Bus (disambiguation) page, with no indication that The Wayward Bus (novel) is held in such high literary regard that it overwhelms the combined notability of The Wayward Bus (film) as well as The Wayward Bus (album). — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:12, 28 October 2022 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.

 * The Wayward Bus → The Wayward Bus (novel)
 * The Wayward Bus (disambiguation) → The Wayward Bus
 * Oppose. A book, a middling film based on the book, and an album named after the book. I don't think there are enough topics here to warrant a DAB as primary. Any reference to "The Wayward Bus" is almost inherently Steinbeck-related so per long-term significance the setup is ok. Nohomersryan (talk) 22:14, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Nohomersryan's reasoning seems right.  Arbitrarily0   ( talk ) 14:52, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
