Fair use rationale for Image:TheDhimmi.jpg
Image:TheDhimmi.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.

Advert tag
I'm adding the advert tag to this article. This book was very controversial. Various scholars have disputed its conclusions. None of this has been incorporated into the article. Furthermore, the summary is not written in neutral language.Kitrus (talk) 06:23, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I was guessing that Bat Ye'or is right at least in her historic research about dhimmi (in the same way that Bernard Lewis seem right about 1700 ottoman empire altough he is a genocide denier and eurabia partisan). If this book is wrong, this is a sad for BY. Could you give references? 89.2.243.42 (talk) 09:53, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Third party source
This source (Bat Ye'or The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians Under Islam) seems to source itself. Could we get a third party source (that would demonstrate the content's notability)?Bless sins (talk) 03:09, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The book referenced by Stellarkid below, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe, has no fewer than 70 self-sources. Since this is an article about a book, isn't it only appropriate for at least the section summarizing the content to contain references to the book itself? For comparison, there are no links to sources concerning "notability" in the other book. We should not sacrifice consistency just to please our own biases.KartoumHero (talk) 03:08, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

By way of comparison
I just was at The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine -- a book by Ilan Pappe, and urge people to check that out by way of comparison. It may help put some things into perspective. Still cogitating on it myself. Stellarkid (talk) 17:30, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
