I have removed from this article the allegation added by an an anonymous user on 3rd Dec, 2005 that Barnes had "lifted" a story idea and plot elements. No reference is offered for this allegation, and a google search found no other reference to it. BrownHairedGirl 03:17, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I do not think that the fact that Barnes and Dolly Parton are born on the same day deserves four lines and a strange interpretation. Remove? 03 March 2006

I second removal. We also need to find a way to better integrate the quotation, if we're keeping it. Mgriffin 02:22, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I heard JB interviewed on French radio a while back...his French wasn't the best I have heard....Pliny 23:46, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Arthur & George.jpg

Image:Arthur & George.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 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.
