edit please

Although by no means a critic myself, the page is in desperate longing for a drastic reformulation. The discussion focuses entirely on homosexuality as if it was the central and all encompassing theme of the novel. This was not the impression I received from the novel. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Azymuthca (talk • contribs) 05:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I think the sexual aspects are what has made the novel so well known, but why not edit it and add balance? It's too short anyway! I just wrote up the aspects that I found most relevant. Tony 12:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC)Tony[reply]

Although homosexuality is an important factor, I don't think it was directly and blatantly referenced throughout the novel (except perhaps in the character Menalque). I don't really have the time to develop the page today, but I would think it would be wise to develop the page in such a way:

Introduction;
Synopsis (a more coherent version of what exists);
A description of the various subplots: the farm; the illness; the Nietzschean philosophy and it development;
A brief outline of significant characters (as such an outline contained within the synopsis would leave it a jumbled mess): Menalque (and his relation to Wilde), Charles, Marceline, Michel, the youths, etc.User:Procrustean

Fair use rationale for Image:Immoralist.jpg

Image:Immoralist.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 08:43, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
