# Talk:Land of Black Gold

Image:Tintin Land of Black Gold in La Voix de l Ouest.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.

Would anyone know what the English puns correspond to in the original French version? 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 12:25, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

The British fighter from the 1950 edition.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.8.98.118 (talk) 11:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC) 

Is the version of story published in Coeurs Vaillants the same, unfinished black and white version that was stopped because of WW2? This is the impression I get, but did they really publish the unfinished story or was it finished? --Oddeivind (talk) 18:19, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

### Comments
"It then began serialisation in France in the magazine Coeurs Vaillants-Ames Vaillants from 4 August 1940, but after an interruption continued in Message Aux Couers Caillants in June 1945." — Doesn't make sense.
I've changed this to the following: "After being published in Belgium, the story began serialisation in neighbouring France; initially appearing in the magazine Coeurs Vaillants-Âmes Vaillants from 4 August 1940, the story was ultimately interrupted, and would only recommence in June 1945, this time in the magazine Message Aux Couers Caillants."

wikilink "eczema".
Done! Midnightblueowl (talk) 16:35, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
"worklaod" — typo. 
That's weird; I thought that I'd already corrected that one. No matter - I've corrected it now! Midnightblueowl (talk) 16:35, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
Assouline's review can be added in the "Critical Analysis" section as well.
Looking through Assouline's biography, he really offers very little in the way of critical commentary on Land of Black Gold but I have included what I can; a brief comment on the inclusion of Haddock into the adventure. Midnightblueowl (talk) 16:53, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
@Midnightblueowl: That's all from me. Another great read, Midnightblueowl. Address the comments whilst providing explanations and the article is passed. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 08:58, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
