Fair use rationale for Image:Asterix17-AsterixTheMansionoftheGods.jpg

[edit]

Image:Asterix17-AsterixTheMansionoftheGods.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 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.

Fixed the danish title

[edit]

The Danish title was erroneously listed as "I gudernes land", which is the name of the title of the animation film in Danish. The Comic is called "Byplanlæggeren" (lit. The City Planner), like the Norwegian version — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.242.250.192 (talk) 17:17, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Character Flaturtha the Numidian

[edit]

Why is the sentence "In the name of the slave character, Flaturtha the Numidian, Gsocinny anticipated the flat earth movement by several decades" constantly removed from the "Commentary" section of this page? Any particular reason for this? You don't actually want social and cultural commentary on this Asterix book? Any particular reason? If you don't want commentary about the book then why have a section on it? Why even have a page on it at all? So strange. I (Liambot) would be fascinated to learn the rationale of this. Thanks! Signed, Liambot.

a) In the original French version the character is called "Duplicatha". The Flaturtha name (a play on the name of the Numidian king Jugurtha) is the work of the English translators Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge, not Goscinny.
b) See the article on modern flat Earth societies for the history of the movement, which predates this book. Opera hat (talk) 16:50, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]


The Land of the Gods

[edit]

It seems that "The Land of the Gods" name (Which is a translation) is infrequently used, and should be replaced with the usual "The Mansions of the Gods" everywhere. Satyanash (talk) 14:47, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
