Initial comments

I think the section on Didion and Ellis, though clearly the product of a lot of work, is WP:OR and also makes some pretty strained connections. I'm inclined to cut it, or at least shorten it to a single bullet point under "trivia". Dybryd 00:31, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Motif - plumbing

Maria's obsession with plumbing after her abortion, her dream, and her fear that the water's not going down the drain fast enough - that everything is 'stopped up' - should be included as a motif. Robert McGibbon 03:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Didion-Play.jpg

Image:Didion-Play.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.

Title is wrong

The title of the novel is Play It As It Lays, not Play It as It Lays. See the title on the cover of the novel. Zagraniczniak (talk) 16:12, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
