I just watched the Classic Albums documentary about Nevermind. In it, Charles R. Cross and Krist Novoselic recount the story of the inspiration for Polly. On the article here, a date of 1987 is mentioned. However, in the documentary, a paper clipping is shown on screen, from the Washington News, with a date of March 17th 2000. Cross goes on to state the incident took place at the Community World Theatre. Of course, it's entirely possible the clipping was for some reason running a follow-up, or that the clipping was mocked-up by the documentary team to add a visual element. --GetThePapersGetThePapers 11:23, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

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

Image:PollyPromo.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 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.BetacommandBot 08:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Narrative Flourish ?

Why is it a "narrative flourish" that Cobain has the girl escape ? I just saw the Classic Albums doco again and it asserts that this element is true in the real-life incident and was what inspired Cobain about the story in the 1st place. Should we delete the suggestion that this is some of kind of clever twist that he has added as that's my reading of what these words imply -Sticks66 04:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
