Lord Kitchener Wants You
- ...
that Alfred Leete's famous Lord Kitchener Wants You poster (pictured) served as the basis for George Orwell's portrayal of Big Brother in his novel 1984?
- ALT1:... that despite the current fame of Lord Kitchener Wants You (pictured), the most popular recruiting poster at the time showed a picture of Kitchener with a 30-word excerpt from one of his speeches?
- ALT2:... that the use of Lord Kitchener's image in recruiting advertisements (pictured) was so ubiquitous Lady Asquith began referring to him as simply "the poster"?

- Comment: I'd like this to run on September 5th. In a perfect world I'd've had this ready for the centenary of Britain's entry into World War I but here we are.

- I've struck ALT0 because the source doesn't state this as fact, just its own speculation. EEng (talk) 22:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- I disagree and I reverted your change at the article. Lubin doesn't say he's speculating. Maybe you think he is. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:39, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
