[edit] Social Creditism

I wouldn't view SC as a leftist ideology. It's a strange one to peg, but I'd say it's rightwing. Where I live actually had SC once (50 years ago), and it quickly converted itself to conservatism/christian democract beliefs. (Dec 26)

I removed mention of libertarianism, since in the context of 1938, libertarianism did not exist as such. -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen 08:55, Dec 18, 2003 (UTC)

In the edit I made today, I removed material written by Paul Robinson in an amazon.com review. Without further info, it should probably be treated as possible copyrighted material. I have appended it immediately below. Hu 01:31, 2004 Dec 25 (UTC)

Text removed. Jkelly 22:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Eerie foreshadowings?"

For Us, the Living contains eerie foreshadowings of Heinlein's later writings How would it be "eerie"? It doesn't seem to me that there's anything eerie about an author using certain elements in an early book that are reused in later books. Indeed, it's quite common Nik42 08:35, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. Changing "eerie" to "many", which is more accurate. Oni no Maggie 22:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I removed this line:

There is even a Door Into Summer. (page 45)

The title & inspiration for The Door into Summer came from a random comment made by Virginia Heinlein in 1955. I don't think it's possible to make a connection between that comment and the glass-domed deck Heinlein wrote about in 1938. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 05:50, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RobertAHeinlein ForUsTheLiving.jpg

Image:RobertAHeinlein ForUsTheLiving.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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:49, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
