Fair use rationale for Image:Nat Turner Styron.jpg
Image:Nat Turner Styron.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 04:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Rename
The Confessions of Nat Turner (1967) → The Confessions of Nat Turner — This article is the only one of the name at present, even if the 1831 work does get an article Styron's novel will still be the primary meaning, the 1831 work can be dealt with by a hatnote.

 * Should be done when the redirect is deleted. For information, the other work given on the dab page was The Confessions of Nat Turner, the Leader of the Late Insurrections in Southampton, Va., an 1831 book written after Nat Turner's trial by his lawyer, Thomas Ruffin Gray. I'm not sure it has any relevance to this article, but if it really existed, perhaps it should be mentioned somewhere?--Kotniski (talk) 08:22, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I performed the delete + move. Johnleemk | Talk 15:20, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I added something to the article about the original book (with a Google Books link by way of reference).--Kotniski (talk) 16:55, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Could This Be A Lie?
I read this article today on theroot.com. In it, the author finds Nat Turner's court transcript and finds many things that the book excludes or lies about. I don't know if the source is credible or not though. http://www.theroot.com/views/truth-about-nat-turner?page=0,0&wpisrc=root_lightbox Metalb (talk) 11:51, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
