A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on April 15, 2012.

The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Walter Lord's 1955 book A Night to Remember has been described as a "defining moment" in the creation of the myth of the RMS Titanic?

Comment

The decision to make the film in black and white also allowed them to splice in not only footage of the Nazi film "Titanic" from 1942/3, it also allowed them to splice in footage of real ships being launched -- tho not the Titanic. How can I put this in words? I tried editing the page to say it but nothing came out right. -- Zoe

Split

This information about the film has been split off to A Night to Remember (film). I believe all the appropriate information has been changed, but if I've missed something, feel free to fix it. :) -- Nataly a 19:06, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:WalterLord ANightToRemember.jpg

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.

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.

Subheadings

Plot and Characters? Really? It's a non-fictional book. I don't think these section headings are appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.142.65.105 (talk) 12:54, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, I've taken that out. Prioryman (talk) 20:54, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New article on Titanic in popular culture

Editors here might be interested to have a look at a new article that I've contributed, RMS Titanic in popular culture, which will be linked from the Main Page on the centenary day. Please leave any feedback at Talk:RMS Titanic in popular culture. Prioryman (talk) 20:54, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Premonition?

This book from a well-regarded author starts with a short mention of a minor fiction-writer who had written a pulp-novel in 1898 about a remarkably similar story, with a ship called the Titan being sunk by an iceberg. So many of the details tally with the Titanic story, that it must classify as a case for consideration as a genuine premonition. There was also a similar short story by W.T. Stead, who went down with the Titanic. Could these be logged? Valetude (talk) 22:09, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
