Talk:Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee

Fair use rationale for Image:RobertVanGulik CelebratedCasesOfJudgeDee.jpg
Image:RobertVanGulik CelebratedCasesOfJudgeDee.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 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 04:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

New scholarship on this topic
Sabrina Yuan Hao, Robert van Gulik and His Chinese Sherlock Holmes (Brill, 2023).

Van Gulik's source novel for this translation or adaptation of his is now generally believed not to have been an eighteenth century Chinese novel but rather one written around 1890. An article on this point is already cited in the Wikipedia entry on "Judge Dee." It is:  Benedetti, Lavinia (2014). “Killing Di Gong: Rethinking van Gulik’s Translation of Late Qing Dynasty Novel Wu Zetian Si Da Qi’an”, in Paolo Santangelo (ed.), Ming Qing Studies 2014, 11-42.
