Talk:Parable of the Talents (novel)

Is this a good idea?

It seems like breaking the series into two articles is going to result in two articles with necessarily a great deal of overlap--are we making two articles simply for the sake of making two articles? Nareek 13:13, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

IMO, separate articles encourage expansion, merged articles tend to discourage expansion (and, if they are expanded, they often become a mess). Wikipedia is not paper and all that nonsense, y'know? -- Antepenultimate 00:53, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:ParableOfTheTalents(1stEd).jpg

Image:ParableOfTheTalents(1stEd).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 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.

Why is this called the Parable trilogy?

In the "fact box" (not sure what you call it) it says "Series: Parable trilogy." However, there are only two Parable books in existence. (The article explains that Butler planned others in the series, but never completed them.) I think it is incorrect to call this a trilogy, and the note should be changed to just read "Series: Parable." Dhirn69 (talk) 05:31, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
