Question

" There they meet Captain Shame, who is actually Count Ola senoir in terrible disguise. The children try and warn Aunt Josephine"....

How do they know? TheMadBaron 06:36, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Huh?

If Count Olaf is in disguise, how do the children know it's him?

Count Olaf is very bad at disguising himself, but Aunt Josephine, having never seen Olaf, doesn't recognise him. smurrayinchester^{(User), (Ho Ho Ho!)} 07:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

It's a reccuring situation -at least at the first 7 books, excluding the first one- that Count Olaf shows up disguised extremely poorly, and only the children seem to recognise him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Orthologist (talk • contribs) 17:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC).

Take a look at the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season article and you'll see why Josephine and Ike Anwhistle got their names.

The book was written in 2000 so it's unlikely to be the reason for the choice of names.Nicole A. Jenkins (talk) 11:34, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Cover

THE COVER IS UP ON AMAZON.COM FOR "OR DISAPPEARENSE" SO CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PUT IT?

A reliable link, and a good-quality picture, can be found here: 217.44.116.12 17:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll add it.--CyberGhostface 20:59, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Plot Summary

Who took away the plot? I think that's vandalism. Can someone fix it for me?I like Snicket's books.--RoryReloaded 07:48, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Widewindownewcover.jpg

Image:Widewindownewcover.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 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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NurseryRhyme (talk • BetacommandBot (talk) 05:33, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
