outline?
What good does listing the chapter names do? It would make more sense to describe the plot of the novel. CharlesTheBold 04:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Sirius book cover.jpg
Image:Sirius book cover.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Correction
This is no justification in the novel for the statement that "Plaxy is really having sex with Sirius". What she is asking her fiance to accept, is that she has an intense spiritual bond with Sirius and won't abandon it for the sake of their marriage. Such bonds occur frequently in Stapledon's novels (e.g. the bond between the narrator and Bvalltu in STAR MAKER) CharlesTheBold (talk) 02:04, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
