[edit] Historical/topical references
Are there really "many [people who] believe Duchess Annagovia (referred to throughout the book as 'The Duchess') being the spiritual and 'real' leader of Borogravia could be interpreted as a reference to Ms Aung San Suu Kyi"?
It seems a rather strained interpretation to me.

- I just unshipped 10kb from this formerly 14kb article by reverting the plot summary to a version from an older revision [1]. It lacks a little detail but is preferable to the former sprawling monster. --Tony Sidaway 19:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Monstrous regiment.jpg
Image:Monstrous regiment.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.

- If you can't figure out the fair use claim, you aren't doing a very good job. Wouldn't it be simpler to put the template you want on book covers instead of nominating them for deletion? Some poor admin is going to look at all the images you tag and groan "Oh no, not another BetacommandBot-tagged image", or probably more likely, delete it without engaging any brain cells.-gadfium 00:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
