[edit] Cleanup
This article is about a notable book (the television series Dexter is based on it). However, all there seems to be here is a paragraph/synopsis of the book. I'm no writer and I haven't read the book. Can anyone help? - (Nuggetboy) (talk) (contribs) 23:57, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- The article was already marked as a stub. I don't think the "complete rewrite" tab is appropriate. Removing it. --Bri 03:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Summary is actually of the TV series?
The summary appears to be based on the TV version. In the book, Dexter's rival is called the "Tamiami Slasher" not the "Ice Truck Killer" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.101.103.106 (talk) 21:18, 12 December 2006 (UTC).
Agreed. The ITK is never mentioned in the book. Changed. Dirtysocks 04:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image of the re-release?

It is requested that a photograph or photographs of the 2006 re-release's cover of Darkly Dreaming Dexter be included in this article to improve its quality. |
| The Free Image Search Tool (FIST) may be able to locate suitable images on Flickr and other web sites. |
Could anyone upload the 2006 version's cover of this book? If someone doesn't know already: it has Michael C. Hall in its cover — Gridwire 14:50, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
I would recommend we stick with the original cover. It's hard enough to get people to distinguish between the two different versions. I'd rather not see a marketing ploy to promote the TV series get more prominent status than the novel's distinctive cover itself. Critterkeeper 07:27, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Updating
I made some changes to the format (ie. gave show info its on section) and added a section on the writing style. I would like to add a character list and a section on critical reception, as well as provide a more detailed plot summary when I get around to.69.251.205.192 00:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Darkly Dreaming Dexter.jpg
Image:Darkly Dreaming Dexter.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.
