message: :Image:Bridge on drina.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 Wikipedia articles 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 16:42, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

message: As of 2007-06, the Bridge has been included into UNESCO's World Heritage List, I think an editor should include this on the article: http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php-URL_ID=38720&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html greetings - excalibor 08:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Please revert yourself. By making this edit  you've reinstated content mirroring that which is already summarized in the synopsis. Needless cruft. 23 editor (talk) 01:16, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: That should be discussed on the talk page of the article with consensus reached.  The chapter summary provides the years and shows the flow of the book which I why I put it back in.  Hardly "needless cruft". -O.R.Comms 03:12, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Calling another editors' contribution "cruft" borders on breaking WP:CIV.  Its just not a good idea, it can be easily misunderstood.  As far as the chapter summary, I feel its a good quick reference for the reader, designed to show which events occur in which chapter while showing the progression of the years.  As far as I know, there is no Wikipedia policy prohibiting chapter summaries; should probably post on noticeboards to get consensus from other editors more knowledgeable.  If the table needs to be removed until then, that would be fine. -O.R.Comms 03:36, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

text: My apologies. I didn't know that was your contribution to the article until I checked the history. If I had, I probably would have been less terse. In any case, I would like to remove the table temporarily until consensus has been reached. I'll leave a message over Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Literature for opinions.

replies: text: Hi, , this  is the response I got over at the WikiProject. 23 editor (talk) 19:16, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: What I would like to see is just a small info box with the chapter numbers and years that they cover.  The "flowing nature" of the book over time was the aspect of it which really fascinating me.  I agree a chapter summary repeating information already mentioned is unnecessary and counter productive. -O.R.Comms 14:48, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

text: I would suggest you create an example infobox to illustrate what it would look like and start an RfC to reach a community consensus. 23 editor (talk) 17:16, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

message: The infobox says that this was published in 1945. How can that be, when the English translation linked at the bottom of the article was published in 1919? The English translation says that the original was published in 1915. 50.253.11.17 (talk) 16:20, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
