Chagrin

I am not sure if the following comment is appropriate: The film has yet to be released on DVD, much to the chagrin of its fans. I would have optioned to remove it but kept it in instead. MarkBeer 07:52, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DVD

Someone should note that the DVD has a planned release for a February 13, 2006 date.

Book/Film

I would split the two into different articles. There are some slight differences between the two (the father's name, etc.), plus there should be a cast listing for the film and links, like to IMDB, for it.

Fair use rationale for Image:The butcher boy poster.jpg

Image:The butcher boy poster.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.

An Allegory of English/Irish Relations

This novel is an allegory describing the negative effects of the oppression of the Irish people by the English over the past several centuries. The Nugents, an Irish family who "used to live in London", represent the English. The Bradys represent the Irish. Mrs. Nugent's insults and arrogance ("Pigs- sure the whole town knows that!") ruin the lives of all of the Bradys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.73.248 (talk) 15:10, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
