message: :Image:Raffles gibraltar.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.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Raffles gibraltar.JPG

message: This sentence seems to be a bit unclear: "As Holmes has Dr. Watson to chronicle his adventures, Raffles has Harry "Bunny" Manders — a former schoolmate saved from disgrace and suicide by Raffles, who persuaded him to accompany him on a burglary." You get the impression that it was Bunny persuaded Raffles and not vice versa. Might the sentence not be clearer and more grammatically to the point thus: "As Holmes has Dr. Watson to chronicle his adventures, Raffles has Harry "Bunny" Manders — a former schoolmate saved from disgrace and suicide by Raffles, whom Raffles persuaded to accompany him on a burglary."? ps  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.95.5.211 (talk) 19:35, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

message: This sentence is slightly misleading: "As Holmes has Dr. Watson to chronicle his adventures, Raffles has Harry "Bunny" Manders — a former schoolmate saved from disgrace and suicide by Raffles, who persuaded him to accompany him on a burglary." You get the impression that it was Bunny who persuaded Raffles and not vice versa, as was the case. Might not the sentence be clearer and more grammatically to the point thus: "As Holmes has Dr. Watson to chronicle his adventures, Raffles has Harry "Bunny" Manders — a former schoolmate saved from disgrace and suicide by Raffles, whom Raffles persuaded to accompany him on a burglary."? ps  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.95.5.211 (talk) 19:44, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bad sentence 

message: Anyone have any detail on stage productions?  
I gather (from a reference in a John Dickson Carr 
novel, "The Witch of the Low Tide") that Raffles was 
a hit on stage in London of 1905.  -- Doom (talk) 01:48, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello. As I was completing the character-specific content split, User:MadmanBot noticed that the content I moved from this page to the new character page, A. J. Raffles (character) looks copied from http://www.factualworld.com/article/A._J._Raffles. And that would include most of the content on this page as well. Since this page has a history of incremental edits, I'm wondering if the copy didn't happen from the other direction. I have left a message with the Help Desk to advise. --Morphovariant (talk) 21:48, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello. I believe I've cited everything I could. I'm going to go ahead and remove the unreliable citation template. 
Four entries remain un-cited:
# Inspector Mackenzie. If someone more familiar with the stories could note which of the books supports his bio, that would be helpful. Each of Hornung's books have already been added as citations, "cracksman" "mask" "thief" and "justice"
# The last paragraph in Plot. This might be unencyclopedic?
# Raffles (1975) TV Film. I can't find a reliable source to verify this film. Allmovie doesn't cover TV movies, Amazon doesn't sell this title, IMDB is not considered a reliable source. Any ideas?
# The Gentleman Thief (2001) TV Film. ditto. 
Thanks much. --Morphovariant (talk) 03:06, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
