MacBeth Quote[edit]

I deleted the "Citation Needed" tag and "the link is very far fetched" as it it is not far-fetched at all. The book's title is a direct quote, the context of the quote bears directly upon the tone of the book, and Shakespeare is widely quoted throughout the English speaking world. --DOHC Holiday (talk) 20:40, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Secretly Published[edit]

The claims of clandestine publishing during the occupation are discussed in the introduction to the Penguin Classics version. Is that an adequate citation? MikeJPalmer (talk) 07:43, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Original Publisher[edit]

Was Viking or Heinemann the original publisher of this novel?

Fair use rationale for Image:JohnSteinbeck TheMoonIsDown.jpg[edit]

Image:JohnSteinbeck TheMoonIsDown.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 Wikipedia: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 06:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fact about éditions de Minuit[edit]

Editions de Minuit clandestines, 29 february 1944, Collection Voix d'Outre-Monde, (voice from over the world), translation by Yvonne Desvigne, 184 pages. The only fact is : I have got the book my mother bought clandestinely. Hello from Paris--82.123.76.154 (talk) 00:10, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Concern about POV at beginning of article[edit]

The beginning of this article is heavily POV - right at the beginning labeling the novella as "propaganda" in heavily value-laden terms - and contains an unsourced claim that the novella resulted in a Medal of Honor. The relevant changes are from 25 September 2010 by 79.205.245.146, which appears to be from a user in Germany.This is a work of literature which stands on its own and makes no specific reference to Germany from an author who won the Nobel prize in literature. I see no reason why Wikipedia should take such a strongly partisan tone, particularly on behalf of (defunct) Nazi Germany. The change should be reverted to eliminate the unnecessary POV. If there is something strongly controversial about Steinbeck or the novella (for example, because some have sensitive feelings on behalf of the Nazi regime) I would suggest that perhaps this does not go at the very beginning of the article but in a separate section or in a different article, and not in such obviously POV terms Dirakht (talk) 02:03, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
