[edit] Not a movie, a novel - that was later on made a movie of

Someone got this wrong, "Babettes Feast" is a novel by Karen Blixen that later on was used for a movie. So there should be a new article, called "Babettes Feast (movie) and then this article should be about the novel. Ulflarsen 16:29, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

It's a question of notability, not chronological order. In the English-speaking world, the film is considerably more well-known than the novel; so this article should stay where it is, and the second article should be about the novel - if the novel is considered notable to have an article of its own at all. --Paul A 08:44, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it's all about notability, to be honest. It was a novel, then someone made a movie out of it. Therefore "Babettes Feast" should be about the novel, and "Babettes Feast (movie)" should be about the movie. Not necessarily a question of chronological order, but a question of originality. The movie evolved from the novel, not the other way around.

Well, why don't you write an article called Babette's Feast (novel) and then we can change the names later. There's no point debating the title of an article that doesn't exist yet. Cop 633 16:56, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

It's not a novel anyway. It's a short story that was first printed in Ladies Home Journal and later in the collection Anecdotes of Destiny. --24.196.131.242 08:38, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

It - IS - a novel. And Karen Blixen is well known in english-speaking countries. She frequented the US many times, and was more well known in America than in Denmark. Then she died, from lead-poisoning.

[edit] Movie Poster

I highly doubt that the poster shown is the original, as it's written in swedish and the movie is danish.

The original was in Danish. I've updated the image description. Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 23:53, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I've replaced the image of the swedish poster with an image of the original danish version. CactusWriter (talk) 18:40, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Babette A.jpg

Image:Babette A.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.
