[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:WhirlwindBook.jpg

Image:WhirlwindBook.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.

[edit] from http://www.gulfnexus.org/index_files/Mulapin_II.htm

31./32. Two stars on the stinger of the Scorpion: d.Sharur and d.Shargaz AK: Shaula, Al Shaulah, the stinger. Sargs in Latvian is "protector" and equals d.Shargaz. It was the "Scorpion King" who started the reigns of the Pharaohs of Egypt and Sargon of Akkad who was the first king of Akkad. Scorpio marked the Vernal Equinox 3117 BC.

[edit] Does "Escape" actually exist?

I added the part about the "condensed version" called "Escape" a few years ago. My information was based upon an Amazon listing and a couple of other references. However, despite my best efforts, I have been unable to obtain or even physically see a copy of this alleged book. Can anyone confirm that it actually exists? The possibility exists that it might have been planned for release at some point but never actually got out (for a similar situtation, see William Burroughs' "Evil River"). 23skidoo (talk) 18:39, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Funny you should ask. I went a month ago to the library to see if I can Interlibrary Loan it. There's like three libraries in the United States that have it, mine is in the works but I probably won't see it before I get to Japan. If you can get it through Amazon or Alibris, snap it up, it's probably a rare single run. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 18:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
In the UK it was published in hardback by Hodder & Stoughton in 1995; a paperback was issued by Coronet the next year; and a reissued paperback was published by Hodder in 2006. [1] I have certainly seen the hardback in public libraries in the past. Jheald (talk) 13:20, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
