Fair use rationale for Image:Sant40.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Sant40.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.

Plot summary
[edit]The plot summary and character list added about 18 months ago were dominating this article, and added little to it except a long and practically unreadable blow-by-blow account of the novel. I have removed them and suggest that a much briefer, more encyclopedic summary might be useful in this article. --Tony Sidaway 14:29, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Until such a briefer synopsis is written I have restored the plot description and characters list. Maikel (talk) 12:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, that is about the best synopsis of Sanctuary I have come across. And the blow-by-blow account is actually very useful for reading Faulkner. Maikel (talk) 22:58, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

- Thank you for keeping the synopsis. I found the novel difficult, and the synopsis cleared up a few plot points for me. Éric2100 (talk) 05:32, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

What sanctuary?
[edit]Which is the sanctuary meant by the title? The moonshine distillery? The brothel in Memphis? Memphis? Paris? Maikel (talk) 22:04, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
I always thought that "sanctuary" referred to men's idea of women and the female body. The sanctuary being sought is Temple... hence the name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hannah Angelove (talk • contribs) 08:32, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
All of those, of course, could be thought of as sanctuaries in sanctuary.193.251.43.248 (talk) 18:01, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Is it really clear that Horace actually masturbates in chapter 23?
[edit]I don't think that's made explicitly clear, not enough for the article to plainly state it. One analysis I read has him vomiting instead. What is stated is that he has an unpleasant feeling in his stomach, rushes to the bathroom, "strikes" the lavatory (sink), and then proceeds to be heavily disturbed by imagery of his stepdaughter naked, conflated with imagery from what he has heard from Temple about her night at the old mansion. I think taking out the statement that he masturbates is warranted, because it could actually be a bit of a stretch. AaronW from ABQ (talk) 23:00, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
