[edit] Novel article

There needs to be a separate article on the novel, so I'm creating it. Daniel Case 23:02, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction

From this article:

However, all of the pool scenes were filmed on location at Libertyville High School, which was believed to have superior aquatic facilities.

From Lake Forest High School (Illinois):

The 1980 film Ordinary People is set at Lake Forest High School, and parts of the film were shot at LFHS, altough the swim team scenes were filmed at Lake Forest College.

We need an authoritative source on this one. Daniel Case 06:58, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

See Talk: Lake Forest High School (Illinois) The PKPerson 03:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Location for school scenes

The sentence:

"Libertyville High School was originally considered as the location for the school scenes, but it was decided that the LFHS campus was too beautiful with its lakeside setting to be believable[citation needed], and the decision was made to film at Lake Forest High School because it was more realistic and appropriate for the story."

doesn't make sense. If it were to say "..it was decided that the Libertyville HS was too beautiful with its lakeside setting..." that would make sense, I suppose. The original author should review the sentence and ensure that it is saying clearly what the author intended.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ordinary99.jpg

Image:Ordinary99.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.
