Fair use rationale for Image:Kim9Semanas.jpg

Image:Kim9Semanas.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 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.

Was the story real?

Usually a Wikipedia article gives the scoop on the author but in this article there's no discussion of the underlying book by Elizabeth McNeill. I would have thought a Wikipedian would have broken through the pseudonym by now. Is it regarded as a generally true story would be another point.

When did it take place could be another. The last page suggests the events happened years ago; the book was published in '78. They listen to Walter Cronkite--he was broadcasting from '62 to '81. I don't recall a mention of cell phones so it probably occurred before they became popular (1981). They watched "60 Minutes" which began in 1968. So I think the time frame, from internal clues, is 1968 to 1975 or so. Hopefully there are other clues. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.192.125 (talk) 19:16, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is also a mention of Al Pacino, who became famous in early 70's, so I don't think the story took place THAT many years before the book was published. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.91.78.76 (talk) 23:05, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy(?)

The bottom half of that controversy section has some fairly serious allegations-- serious enough that they should probably either be sourced or scrapped.
