Dostoevsky images
re this edit, I have removed the 2 images because they have nothing to do with Dostoevsky.

The 1935 movie has only the most tenuous relationship to Dostoevsky's novel. Even the film's director said that it was "no more related to the true text of the novel than the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Gower is related to the Russian environment." The promotional still might look nice on a Barbara Cartland novel, but it would look silly on Crime and Punishment and has no relationship to it. The American television character played by Peter Falk is, according to the source, "allegedly" based on Porfiry from Crime and Punishment, but there is really no relationship whatsoever to Dostoevsky's 19th Century Petersburg literary character. These pictures don't belong in an article on Dostoevsky. Harold the Sheep (talk) 03:52, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Dear Harold you may be correct, but you are making assertions instead of using references. The pictures are there and supported by reference, your argument is that they should be removed based on your personal research/opinion. At the very least let's put it to a vote on the article talk page. I think the pictures add some context/access for those completely unfamiliar with Dostoevsky. The Colombo reference is supported by direct quote from the show's creator. But I don't really have a strong opinion either way. I am sure there are though - this being Wikipedia, which is why I reverted the deletion. Lexlex (talk) 22:28, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
