Copyvio edit

This article is mostly copyvio as it consists almost entirely of the publisher's blurb as it currently stands. I recommend the plot summary be rewritten before the copyvio posse take notice. 23skidoo 19:07, 19 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Plot hole addition/removal edit

When I added the information on the book, I made note of a plot hole. What happened to these? Pejorative.majeure 05:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

-- Never mind, saw the new revision history. Still maintain it is a plot hole, as those descended from other individuals who had Impressed either dragons or fire-lizards did not have their dying dragons time-travel; IIRC Red Hanrahan's daughter impressed a dragonet - Would Ramoth travel back to visit her if Lessa died, as Lessa is descended from Red's daughter? It's a poorly written plot device given the history of the series. Pejorative.majeure 05:28, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:McCaffrey dragonsblood.jpg edit

 

Image:McCaffrey dragonsblood.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 22:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

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

mother/grandmother edit

The article gives Kitty Ping both as mother and grandmother of Wind Blossom. Which is correct? --88.130.181.136 (talk) 11:21, 13 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Letter from Jackie (2010-02-01). Todd McCaffrey explains that granddaughter is a mistake in the US edition of Dragonsdawn; daughter is correct in the UK edition. --P64 (talk) 20:17, 21 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
Following another good-faith revision, I have added a formal Note that essentially puts this into the article. I made up the citation and afterward noticed that it's different from what I made up last year.

What should it be, here and in many other articles? --P64 (talk) 17:05, 1 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
