Antecedents[edit]

They, them ?!?!?! Antecedents please!!!!!

It's a good article, except for the synopsis section. Reads more like a blurb or a presentation. I'm going to fix that in a little while.Orthologist

Content policies?[edit]

How does this not comply to the content policies? Mrmoocow 22:41, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Check: This is the darkest book in the series since The Miserable Mill. Snicket’s signature style continues to amuse, though I didn’t find myself laughing out loud that often in this volume.

Come on. This is blatant POV. The whole section needs re-writing. I was planning to do it late, but I will remove obvious POV firstly.--Orthologist 23:01, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, but I don't think you used the right template. How about 'reads like a review'? Mrmoocow 01:21, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed it now by replacing the synopsis with one from an earlier version of the page. However, that needs to be cut down. Mrmoocow 01:30, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't put the template up there, but I think it suited the article. Now it's good, but the synopsis section needs to be trimmed down, due to copyright concerns. --Orthologist 16:00, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll help get to work on that now.Shindo9 Hikaru 23:24, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Hostile hospital.jpg[edit]

Image:Hostile hospital.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 04:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible error[edit]

The last paragraph of the plot summary uses the phrase "Person of Intermediate Gender". Should this not be "Person of Indeterminate Gender"? Hallpriest9 (Talk | Archive) 23:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, but you could have done this yourself. Mrmoocow 08:04, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
