Talk:For Us, the Living

message: I wouldn't view SC as a leftist ideology. It's a strange one to peg, but I'd say it's rightwing. Where I live actually had SC once (50 years ago), and it quickly converted itself to conservatism/christian democract beliefs. (Dec 26)
I removed mention of libertarianism, since in the context of 1938, libertarianism did not exist as such. -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen 08:55, Dec 18, 2003 (UTC)
In the edit I made today, I removed material written by Paul Robinson in an amazon.com review.  Without further info, it should probably be treated as possible copyrighted material.  I have appended it immediately below. Hu 01:31, 2004 Dec 25 (UTC)

thread_title:  Social Creditism 

message: For Us, the Living contains eerie foreshadowings of Heinlein's later writings How would it be "eerie"?  It doesn't seem to me that there's anything eerie about an author using certain elements in an early book that are reused in later books.  Indeed, it's quite common Nik42 08:35, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Eerie foreshadowings?" 

message: I removed this line:
:There is even a Door Into Summer. (page 45)
The title & inspiration for The Door into Summer came from a random comment made by Virginia Heinlein in 1955.  I don't think it's possible to make a connection between that comment and the glass-domed deck Heinlein wrote about in 1938. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 05:50, 30 October 2006 (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.

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.

message: I'm not sure who Cynthia Brown was, but giving her such space for such large quotations seems absurd when she seems to have barely skimmed the book.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.197.15.219 (talk) 04:19, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Feminist Critique 

message: The article is almost completely made-up analysis and opinion.  Huge swaths (of said opinion) are completely uncited.
After the plot summary, the rest of the article could justifiably be removed en masse.
Instead, I plan to begin to remove some the most egregious of it one by one.  That will result in a large numbers of deleting edits by an IP.  You will hate me for that.  But, you all should follow suit.
Wikipedia is not a place for literature enthusiasts to show off how smart they are with all their analysis and connections and made-up "themes".  You might have made some very good analysis, but it's only includable if it's published somewhere in a cited reliable source -- not by you on your blog.
