Year of Publication

Was the novel published in 1958 or 1957? In two different points of the article both years are indicated. I have the 1961 Ace Double edition, and it says that the novelette was published on Galaxy in 1958. Clute & Nicholls say 1958. If nobody has anything to say about that I'm going to eliminate the reference to 1957.--93.40.136.215 (talk) 20:41, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:TheBigTime(novel).jpg

Image:TheBigTime(novel).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.

The first thing I noticed is I don't think the year is right. The Galaxy issues mentioned have a 1958 copyright statement on them. The isfdb.org entry says 1958 too. http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?7666 Does anyone have a source for the 1957 claim? Gweeks (talk) 01:28, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
