[edit] Split book/film

16-May-2007: I have split text from the book article to create "The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952 film)" since the film and book are both famous and likely to expand with extensive details in each article. With the film starring Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner (both mega-movie-stars), many sections could be written about the film and its public reception.

The decision to split was mainly one about the effort to define two articles (which I have done). Logically, the 2 articles simplify the view for film-versus-book details. A similar split was done with "Out of Africa" and "Out of Africa (film)" since both, in that case, were also famous (the book remained in print since publication in 1937). I linked book/film with hat-notes atop each. -Wikid77 11:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the work on the split. I performed some cleanup involving removing inappropriate disambig hatnotes and some other minor formatting changes that appeared to be residual of the split. If you have questions about my changes, consult the applicable MoS sections. Cheers, Robert K S (talk) 09:03, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

The Links for the films are all messed up and do not send you to the film it says, For example: A Fairwell to Arms leads to The Old Man in the sea (1990 Film) and that page dose not exsist, someone please correct this.

[edit] Disambiguation

For disambiguation, I simply added hat-notes linking book/film at the top of each article, rather than have a disambiguation-page. However, such a famous elegant name ("Snows of Kilimanjaro") probably has/will become a tourist agency, or an upscale housing subdivision (or a ride at Disneyland), so creating a disambiguation-page might be needed within a few months. For now, I'm hoping to focus attention on expanding the book/film articles, rather than writing about any spinoff names. -Wikid77 11:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Snows of kilamajaro.gif

Image:Snows of kilamajaro.gif 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.
