Assessment comments The following comments were left by the assessors: (edit · refresh) This is a book supposedly of a futuristic/unreal world present only in the novel's dystopia (or anti-utopia is more accurate in some context). Supposedly. Doesn't anyone realize that the state of our present world is virtually, no, undoubtedly similar to the novel world's failed attempt at perfection(for some... or "everyone")? In our world, the so-called authority in every young person's life is so bent on restricting him/her to limited expression that there are few who convey themselves enough to be considered truly expressive. Sure, before high school (and part of middle school), adults encourage children to write, but when they are mature enough to really get their thoughts across, any (appropriate) word in the dictionary is welcome... except 'I'. Teachers in school (where young persons spend half their developing youth in) restrict the word 'I' to such simple assignments that over time, if proper action isn't taken to prevent this, the world will become a Time of Changes. Will continue later.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Silverberg - A time of changes.jpg

Image:Silverberg - A time of changes.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.
