Talk:This Present Darkness

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

"Critical Reviews" section neutrality?
Surely a book that has sold this many copies has had positive reviews as well as negative? --Nerd42 (talk) 19:24, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes you are right to point this out, it has received positive comments. I have one to hand from Leanne Payne. This and Perreti's follow up Piercing the Darkness were definitely popular works during the 1980's and 90's. I have read both. The article as it stands certainly lacks neutrality with regard to the reviews and comments the book received. In my view comments within this section would be better subsumed as part of a Reception section. 82.18.164.15 (talk) 16:55, 29 July 2010 (UTC)


 * As an aside - a Michael W. Smith album i 2 (EYE) contains an instrumental track called Ashton, which if I recall correctly he stated on the lyric sheet was inspired by This Present Darkness. This could be included in the Cultural influence section. I will try and make some additions to reference this.82.18.164.15 (talk) 17:20, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Reference material missing ... Comment
The sentence "It has been instrumental in promoting belief in Territorial Spirits.[citation needed]" was flagged back in 2012. No work has been done. I am deleting this unsourced comment ... Cheers Risk Engineer (talk)
