Talk:Evil Under the Sun

Unspecified source for Image:AgathaChristie EvilUnderTheSun.jpg
I found Image:AgathaChristie EvilUnderTheSun.jpg and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:43, 28 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 02:43, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:AgathaChristie EvilUnderTheSun.jpg
Image:AgathaChristie EvilUnderTheSun.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.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 02:43, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The plot summary section is written very badly grammar-wise and is also pretty unclear. Could someone fix it up please? Hannahcronin (talk) 10:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I have tried to correct the grammar errors as best I can. I haven't read the book so don't want to make further changes in case they are not correct. At the moment, I would have to guess at what the author of the article intended. If anyone has read the book perhaps they would care to correct a few of the anomalies in the plot summary. For instance, in one paragraph it is stated that a school teacher found Emily Corrigan's body. Later, it mentions that it was a game keeper.Hagi2000 (talk) 15:23, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

It didn't say it was a game keeper, but a "game mistress" which sounds like a joke, but was no doubt a typo. I corrected this, and modified the reference to Christine's surnames, which may or may or not have been pseudonymous. Poirot points out that he has no way of knowing whether she was married to Patrick, so much about them being pretence.

Plot summary
Some explanations (e. g. what a bottle was thrown or who and why was having a bath on the day of the murder) are missing, thus the plot summary is not full Gevorg89 (talk) 13:13, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

The police do not arrest Blatt for the drug smuggling, though Colonel Weston suggests that Scotland Yard have the best chance of pinning it on him. Blatt is at liberty to go on the picnic Poirot arranges, and as it happens takes a photograph of the group which Poirot finds helpful. Rogersansom (talk) 14:01, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Plot summary reverted
, and another plot summary that must be rewritten by you, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Evil_Under_the_Sun&diff=840668757&oldid=832482799. Is this your project, to rewrite every plot summary of a novel by Agatha Christie, as no single plot summary is as good as your writing? That is how it appears. Again, I ask for more collegial spirit in accepting what others have written. --Prairieplant (talk) 03:37, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Change of title
Is there a disambiguation page for Evil under the Sun? Yes, I found it. The other uses template is a red link now, perhaps it should be deleted. Evil Under the Sun (disambiguation) lists a novel published 10 years after the Agatha Christie novel. Why not change the name of that one? I will delete the other uses template, as it is useless now, from this article. --Prairieplant (talk) 18:28, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
