Talk:A Thousand Splendid Suns

message: I removed the plot summary because it was taken verbatim from the Booklist review; see the description at Amazon. A new, original plot intro/summary would be most welcome. --ShelfSkewed Talk 01:59, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Sorry about my use of === for the character list, I saw that in the character list for The Da Vinci Code so I assumed it was OK (it was a little different on the page). Anyways thanks for correcting it! andkore 02:58, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not a problem. The stronger sectioning can be a good way to organize the characters when the descriptions become longer. I just thought it was a little too much for the brief descriptions that are there now. Happy editing!--ShelfSkewed Talk 03:12, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I have added a plot summary. The WP community is free to edit it, adding excessive and trivial details as is the norm. Perhaps you would like to rewrite it so that it reads more like a high school book report? Shoehorn 06:19, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

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.

message: In some versions of The Kite Runner there is a page that says that Khaled Hosseini's next novel (supposed to be released in 2006) is called Dreaming in Titanic City.  Is this an alternate title for A Thousand Splendid Suns?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.172.172.2 (talk) 16:33, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

message: How is it possible if Mariam is Hazara and both of her parents are pashtuns ?

thread_title:  Mariam = Hazara ? 

message: I'm sorry I'm not aware of the convention for posting here. But ill say it anyway. In the plot summary for part 3, a line reads - 
Laila says yes immediately. Then is when she realizes she is pregnant - with Tariq's child.
To me this seems to imply that Laila became aware of the pregnancy after she said yes to Rasheed, while in fact she consented to Rasheed's proposal because she knew about the child. Maybe this sentence could be rephrased?

thread_title:  Correction in plot summary 

message: The plot summary was recently removed, citing this page as the original source from which the Wikipedia section was copied. But the source is dated December 11, 2008 and is a copy of the plot section in the Wikipedia article on that date. And an examination of the edit history of A Thousand Splendid Suns will show that this plot summary did not suddenly appear whole just as it is, but grew and developed over the course of many months. In other words, the supposed source is the copy, and not the other way around. I have restored the plot section.--ShelfSkewed Talk 18:25, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed as excessively long for a plot summary. Try a more concise version. Since you've looked at the history, perhaps one of the older ones would fit Wikipedia standards better. Look for something about 1/3 the size or less. DreamGuy (talk) 20:43, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough--and done. I restored the original basic plot summary added by another editor, and copy-edited for even further brevity. It's about 1/5 the length.--ShelfSkewed Talk 04:31, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The internal link to kolba is wrong, because the page states that it is a village somewhere, yet in the book it is used as a noun to describe some sort of hut or something. The question arises, what exactly IS a kolba anyways? Does anyone know if there is any definition offered somewhere in the book?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.205.99 (talk) 02:24, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
