Story of a Secret State

Created by Piotrus (talk). Self-nominated at 07:06, 27 September 2022 (UTC).

  • Piotrus, this is good to go: . I see no plagiarism; it is long enough and new enough. The overall narrative is well-verified and the sources, specifically the Rzepa article, and there's a wealth of reviews--this is the kind of coverage all important books should have. I'd like to see the covers, of both editions, but that's another matter. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 03:08, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Drmies, Good point about the covers. Usually, fair use would balk at 2+ covers, but the 1944 cover seems so simple it may be ineligible for copyright. On the other hand, there were several different covers for later editions, and I have no idea which to pick (take a look at google images). I will add the 1944 cover image, but I don't think we can fair use the one of the random covers (and how to pick the one we like?). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:44, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
      • Piotrus, what I was wondering is if we can have two covers, given the requirements for fair use of non-free material. Then again, there's tons of articles for albums that have multiple covers... I may have a look later. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 14:15, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
