[edit] Reducing the number of pages about Trudi Canavan

I've just set several pages to redirect to this page, rather than duplicating the content. It's always best on Wikipedia to try to keep the number of pages on a subject to a minimum - so start with one, then if the content grows to a sufficient size add another and split the main page, etc. With the extra pages here, there simply wasn't sufficient content on them (and on this page) to justify having them. Hence the redirects.

One page that I'm unsure about is The Novice - this is a very short page, and on its own could easily be merged with the Trudi Canavan page. However, the pages for the other two books in this series are very long (way too long to be merged in here) - so on that basis, I've left The Novice page as it is.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TrudiCanavan TheMagiciansGuild.jpg

Image:TrudiCanavan TheMagiciansGuild.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 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.

[edit] Primary sources

I added the tag for asking for primary sources. The only references in this article were from Trudi Canavan's own website and this gives the impression of a lack of balance in the article. There need to be other references cited. Stellar (talk) 11:55, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
