The i in into ought to be capitalized, this page needs to be removed, but a redirect left from the lowercase i page. Wsacul 14:21, 3 April 2007 (UTC) Are there any existing wikipedia pages that are about the specific events and characters in this book? Or even external links with information about the protest or battle? Linking to obvious pages like 'Vietnam' or 'Washington' is nice but it would be much more useful to have crosslinking from a page like 'Long Nguyen Secret Zone' (I didn't find that one). I only have the audiobook currently so it is difficult for me to look up things, but I'll obtain the print version eventually and help out more. Wsacul 17:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC) This article needs to assert the notability of this book and provide references to back it up. Hatch68 18:37, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • such as? I saw the title on David Maraniss' article and thought the book could use it's own article. Let me know what you exactly mean by "notability" as well as an example of how to reference its "notability" and I'll see what I can dig up. Greyman 18:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The notability guidelines for books can be found at Wikipedia:Notability (books). Keep in mind that I'm not saying the book isn't notable, but the introductory paragraph of any Wikipedia article needs to establish and ASSERT the notability of the subject of the article. Was it a best seller? If it was say that in the first sentence. See the notes on the Lead Section in this article; Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles.

Fair use rationale for Image:They Marched into Sunlight.jpg

[edit]

Image:They Marched into Sunlight.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.

Proposed section: Adaptations (COI Disclosure)

[edit]

Hi all,

I’m disclosing a conflict of interest: I contributed music to the dance piece Into Sunlight, which was directly inspired by They Marched into Sunlight by David Maraniss. I am proposing a neutral addition to this article under the heading "Adaptations."

The proposed section summarizes the 2011 UW–Madison premiere of Into Sunlight, the interdisciplinary symposium where the author spoke, and the 2017 documentary film adaptation. All sources are independent and verifiable (e.g. Isthmus, UW News, Film at Lincoln Center).

Adaptations

[edit]

In 2011, choreographer Robin Becker premiered Into Sunlight, a full-length contemporary dance work inspired by They Marched into Sunlight, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The performance was the centerpiece of a multidisciplinary symposium titled the Sunlight Project, organized by the UW-Madison Arts Institute and Dance Department. The event included panel discussions, film screenings, and lectures exploring themes of war, protest, and memory. David Maraniss participated as a keynote speaker.[1][2]

In 2017, the project was further adapted into a documentary film, Into Sunlight – The Film, directed by Ron Honsa. The documentary combined performance footage, archival material from the Vietnam War era, and interviews with Maraniss, Becker, and others. It premiered at the Dance on Camera Festival held at Lincoln Center.[3]

Into Sunlight has been noted for its interdisciplinary approach to exploring the psychological and societal effects of war, and for translating themes from Maraniss’s nonfiction work into movement-based performance.[1]
