[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MarkHelprin WintersTale.jpg
Image:MarkHelprin WintersTale.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 05:05, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Links to other works?
An aug2007 edit gave the following unreferenced statement:
the beginning is stolen from Kafka's short story about a white horse.
I have undone this edit, however if it can be verified as either 'stolen' or as a literary reference, it should be included properly. Does anyone have any information? (my own searches have turned up nothing) --Nemo 01:43, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Science-fiction?
I'm curious to know the rationale for classifying this novel as "science-fiction."--Jrimorin 22:49, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Unless one goes for the old publishers' tradition of lumping SF and fantasy together, this is closer to fantasy than SF, even if it is set in an alternate New York City. I've made the change. --Orange Mike 15:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Historical accuracy
I'd like to add 'Historical Accuracy' (or similar) section, but unsure how best to approach it. Some elements to consider:
- Five Points, Manhattan was a genuine part of NYC at the time
- The Short Tails, the major gang in the novel, compared to the Shirt Tails - a genuine gang
- Jackson Mead is portrayed as designer/engineer of many bridges. (including Golden Gate) - who genuinly engineered them?
- Other locations (esp in Manhattan) mentioned in the novel. The Maritime Cathedral. Printing House Square. The Cemetary for the Honored Dead. ...do these have real world analogies?
