Talk:The Calculus Affair

Fair use rationale for Image:JolyonWagg.jpg
Image:JolyonWagg.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 06:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Album cover
The article currently states "The cover of the album appears to be viewed through the center of a sunflower with its yellow petals surrounding the main illustration. This is in reference to the professor's name, as Professeur Tournesol, the French name for Professor Calculus, means Professor Sunflower.".


 * I'd always thought that the cover was meant to be seen through a broken pane of glass, as broken glass features so largely in the plot... 82.109.186.194 11:58, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

re Wilhelm Reich
I've removed this passage because it is copied verbatim from. It's questionable anyway because it is repeated as a speculation in this book alone; other books on Tintin don't assert it. Mangoe (talk) 15:28, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Mangoe, what is this book you have found on Google Books? I believe it is the Wikipedia Tintin book containing all the Tintin articles: Book:Hergé and Tintin.  That is why it is verbatim; it was published from the Wikipedia articles themselves including the article The Calculus Affair.  It's good that it was removed anyway because there was no cited reference for that supposed information. Prhartcom (talk) 22:31, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comparing them, I believe you are correct, so it's safe to say this passage isn't coming back. Mangoe (talk) 00:42, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Topolino's house
Do any of the sources identify the specific house? It looks like 113 route de Saint-Cergue. Opera hat (talk) 15:12, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Platz der Republik
Platz der Republik was in West Berlin I think, Farr probably meant Alexanderplatz, but I don't have access to his book. Alexanderplatz had the *Palast* der Republik. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NPalgan2 (talk • contribs) 23:45, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
