Talk:After Man

Other animals
Is this section needed? If the author had found them important he would have given them a description. Since he didn't, they're not. I like the idea that the animals from the book are listed (since I've lost my copy) but this is overkill. -- Nashville Monkey 23:53, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Linking to Future Evolution
I've read the book future evolution, it is most definitely not another book on the subject. The book never talks about the world in the future, it just labels the survivors of the extinction and then goes on and on about how the whole world is doomed and all the large mammals will die and no more will evolve to replace them. The only glimpses of a possible future we get is a two page excerpt that is supposed to sound like it is from H.G. Wells' Time Machine and a couple of pictures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Metalraptor (talk • contribs) 15:17, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

List
Ok, for all who want to know, the list of animals seemed to be much too long, and made the page very hard to wade through. Therefore, I decided to Be Bold and compact it, sendin the full version to List of animals from "After Man: A Zoology of the Future". Please do not revert without discussing here first.

is the list even necessary anymore after we added the link?--50.195.51.9 (talk) 13:22, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That article was deleted. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of animals from After Man: A Zoology of the Future. Also it's easier to reference.-- Auric 02:10, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Online Book
Is there any evidence the online book is not violation copyright law? The website doesn't seem as if it was given permission from the author to host the book, and the images of the bottom don't seem legally obtained either. I'm sending an email to the author, but for now I'll assume both the references and the images are violations of copyright law and delete them as was done in The New Dinosaurs: An Alternate Evolution's page.

The book has been out of print for quite some time now, but i'm not totally familiar with how copyright laws involving out-of-print books work. 50.195.51.9 (talk) 18:09, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

I believe it lasts 70 years unless under very specific circumstances. As I've said I have tried contacting the author for permission, but he has not responded. I'd rather be safe than sorry, and until evidence can be proven otherwise I'll keep the link to the online book off this page and assume it violates copyright law.

Capitalization of species common names
I saw that you had reverted many of my recent changes. Species common names should be in lower case in compliance with the Manual of Style for Wikipedia as expressed at MOS:LIFE. Also you may be thinking that that should be capitalized as headings, but that is not Wikipedia's style either as described at MOS:HEAD. Why did you do that?
