Spoiler

I think the "Symbols" section gives away way too much information. If someone wants to know what the predator is, read the book! Not Wikipedia. Scorpionman 15:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Oath.jpg

Image:Oath.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.

The Oath Alternative Symbolic Meaning

A person that no longer cares about his or her rash will also no longer care about what sins they have committed. Once they have compromised their values and no longer care, they will begin to do the same in other areas. The dragon, or Satan, will then be able to take them over completely, while they continuously sin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MD Pynakker (talk • contribs) 22:04, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Overview

I'm pretty sure the overview section is taken verbatim from the blurb on the front interior cover...that is not allowed if so. Lots42 (talk) 08:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:The Oath (Peretti novel)/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I think that this article needs to be re-rated; it's definitely not a stub anymore. There's a detailed and well-written plot overview and summary, the symbolism section was cleaned up, and more information was added. Waluigi Freak 99 14:24, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and changed the rating to B class, and I also raised the importance from Low to Mid. (This Present Darkness, Piercing the Darkness, The Visitation and The Oath should be the only Peretti novels noted as Mid-importance here, in my opinion.) Feel free to comment if you have a complaint.Waluigi Freak 99 18:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
