Fair use rationale for Image:Hallowe'en Party.jpg

Image:Hallowe'en Party.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 05:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Origin of au pair girl

The article states that the au pair girl (Olga) is from Czechoslovakia. However, my copy of the novel reveals at the end that she is actually from Herzegovina. I can't say for certain if my copy is the same as the British version. 70.193.11.144 (talk) 08:52, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

And what in the world has Vyacheslav_Molotov to do with Czechoslovakia at all? He was Stalin’s minister of foreign affairs after all! 2A01:8C00:FF00:1E8:0:0:0:2 (talk) 21:45, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

References to actual history

"The novel reflects in many respects its time of publication at the end of the permissive 1960s, but nowhere more so than when a character uses the word "lesbian" in Chapter 15." Sounds an awful lot like original research to me. Is there any reputable source for this claim, or is it just somebody's personal opinion? Jah77 (talk) 20:45, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Jah77 I do not know who put that in the article, but I found two sources noting the use of that word, the only time in all her novels, with a search on line and the sources are not copies of this Wikipedia article. I do not know if Barnard noted this, but his book is not on line (is it?) and I do not have a copy at hand. The first source was written in 2000, so I do not think it was original research by that editor, rather it was an unsourced observation. Now it has sources, maybe more or better ones can be found. --Prairieplant (talk) 12:21, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
