Talk:The Witch of Portobello

Fair use rationale for Image:The Witch of Portobello.jpg
Image:The Witch of Portobello.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 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.

Who is writing this ridiculous prose?
I must ask. This strangely interpretive and cheesy writing is present on all works by Paulo Coelho, along with his main page. Please fix this.

A fiction novel?
Why's it a fiction novel? I've read it, and I think all the facts in this book could be real... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.78.210.157 (talk) 02:07, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I can't make any sense out of your comment. What is "de rigueur"? Reading this book if you are a Coelho fan?
 * OP: The book is historical fiction because it is supposed to be realistic (unlike historical fantasy) and set in a specific historical time period, but not historical. It could have happened (at least according to the author's opinion), but (it is generally agreed that) it has not. However, you could also call the book a historical novel. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 23:24, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
