[edit] Characters section
I'm removing this section. It has multiple inaccuracies and lacks attention to Standard English. A copy of the original text is below if someone wants to edit it and paste it back in. Naq (talk) 02:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Characters
Dana A modern black woman with the mannerisms of a white male, Dana constantly takes involuntary trips to the past. She is called upon to the Antebellum south to save her ancester, Rufus. Kindred begins on Jun 9, 1976, on the day of her twenty-sixth birthday. Her full name is Edana Franlkin, and she is married to Kevin, a white male, a fact that causes her much plight thoughout the course of kindred. When she is physically transported to the past, to aid her ancester, she feels physically ill, even naucious. When Dana is transported to the past, she notes that the "room seemed to blur and darken" around her (ZButler 13). Dana is called upon to save rufus, who was at the time a "small red haired boy" who was currently floating face down. After giving him artificial respiration, the fater of Rufus, Tom weyland, though that Dana was the reason why his son was unconcious, whereupon she was threatened with a rifle. At the time, she found that the fear of death had the power of transporting her back to the future, with her husband panic.
[edit] Cover picture
The dooky cover picture is significantly over-saturated. The purple is much closer to grey on the actual cover.Stale Fries 03:18, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:OctaviaEButler Kindred.jpg
Image:OctaviaEButler Kindred.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 04:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
