Talk:An Artist of the Floating World

Fair use rationale for Image:An Artist of the Floating World.jpg
Image:An Artist of the Floating World.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 Wikipedia articles 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.

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 21:21, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Article draws too heavily from the suspiciously linked book review
It seems to me that the content of this article is mostly taken from the book review linked at the bottom - a review which is simultaneously extremely pretentious and grossly uninformed. The author of the article gets many details about the novel wrong - a very cursory reading reveals that even basic plot points are presented backwards or just plain wrong. For example, the review suggests that the protagonist first worked for Master Takeda and then Moriyama, when in fact the opposite was true. Additionally, the review suggests that two of the protagonist's most famous works were "Complacency" and "Eyes on the Horizon". If the reviewer had actually taken the time to read the book carefully (or perhaps at all), he would know that "Complacency" was essentially an early draft of "Eyes on the Horizon", and it was seen by no more than three people. These concerns may seem trivial, but ultimately they are emblematic of a disregard for the novel as well as a blatant attempt to use Wikipedia as a personal advertisement. At the very least, this article should be removed from the page (and I plan to do so). Moreover, I would recommend a total rewrite of the article based on actual in-text sources and published reviews. Sorry if this is out of line - I am new to editing, but thought that this page does a disservice to the novel.

Draft:An Artist of the Floating World
A draft article, Draft: An Artist of the Floating World, was just submitted to Articles for Creation. It had to be declined because we already have an article (this article) on the novel. However, editors are encouraged to review the draft and compare it to the article to make any improvements to the article. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:57, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
