• Just saw the film "Capote" at the 32nd telluride film festival yesterday. first cut was finished on friday of last week. it is an astonishing tour de force performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman. His portrayal will be considered a defining moment in his career. i would be willing to wager he will win the Oscar. Naic 03:54, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

• Let's hope your wager lives up Naic! Anyway, this article is vastly lacking in information. When I get the time, I aim to update things. 06:12, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image advertises 'Capote' more than Philip Seymour Hoffman

Can't we get a more appropriate image for Hoffman than a movie poster?

It was a bit difficult finding a suitable pic, but I think I got a pretty good one. Thebogusman 04:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

A big improvement for the article. Thanks. --BlueTruth 22:12, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Height

If Phil is 5' 9½", how did they get him shorter for Capote? Chris 18:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthplace

Phil wasn't born in Fairport, but in Rochester. Rochester is where the hospitals are, and he wasn't born at the family home (King's Lacey Way, to be exact).

[edit] Irish Heritage

Given his surname, he is clearly of German heritage too. Why isn't it mentioned?

[edit] Reply to Birthplace

Although all the hospitals are in Rochester, every biography on the net says he was born in Fairport.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Capote4.jpg

Image:Capote4.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.
