Plot outline[edit]

The plot outline needs to be rewritten as it is currently a copyvio of the publisher's promotional material. 23skidoo 18:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

is this still the case - then action would be needed? :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 16:38, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is no longer the case, since I re-wrote it a few years ago. Delphiki27 (talk) 17:42, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:McCaffrey dolphins.jpg[edit]

Image:McCaffrey dolphins.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 Wikipedia: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 22:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2011 Note. Two days later, the contributor of the image slightly revised its file: Image revision, 7 June 2007.

Homosexuality?[edit]

I've just been reading these books, and I can't recall any mention of homosexuality in here (though I tend to speedread, so I may have just missed it. Or I'm just dense.) There *IS* however explicit mention of it in a prior book in the series (Dragon's Dawn), though not among any of the named characters. If someone could point out which character in this book is being referred to, I'd be most grateful.--213.114.138.197 10:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I don't remember any either.... Applejaxs 15:31, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just read this book--there is no mention or hint of homosexuality in any of the characters. Unless one considers boys swimming in underclothing inherently homosexual. I've updated this entry with a more accurate representation.Delphiki27 18:55, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
