Talk:From the Earth to the Moon (miniseries)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Spoiler

This is a documentary, not a fictional story. I don't think a spoiler is appropriate. You'll notice The Civil War (documentary) doesn't have a spoiler warning. Chuck 08:47, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Both Wikipedia:Spoiler warning and Spoiler (media) define a spoiler in terms of a "narrative", there is no indication of documentary/fiction. I think that From the Earth to the Moon would certainly constitute a narrative. One article without a spoiler tag doesn't mean anything; I'm sure there is a fictional movie article that lacks a spoiler tag, does that mean we should remove spoiler tags from all fictional movie articles?

Beside the fact that the spoiler looks hideous, and is not a Wikipedia policy, there is no reason to "censor" (because that's essentially what it is) information about historical events. This is an encyclopedia. Chuck 10:05, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Looks fine to my eyes, and it is not censoring, the information is there, no one is stopping anyone from reading it. There are no spoiler tags on pages about historical events; this is a page about a creative work that is about a historical event. And (if we're going down this road) it is not Wikipedia policy not to have a spoiler tag. Qutezuce 10:16, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

You're right, no policy either way, which there should be (but that's not this discussion). I don't think that the information in this article right now displays any plot endings or details either. The information next to the episodes list are mere plot introductions. In Wikipedia, plot introductions are not characterized with spoilers. Chuck 10:49, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Good point, you should have brought that up earlier. :) Qutezuce 05:28, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:From the Earth to the Moon DVD.JPG

Image:From the Earth to the Moon DVD.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.
