:Image:PaulScott TheJewelInTheCrown.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 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 06:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Scott gives a few pointers to the location of Mayapore: it's on the Grand Trunk Road, and Miss Crane at one time used to drive from there to Calcutta, but now finds it too far for her ten-year-old 1932 Ford. Brigadier Reid drives from Mayapore to Calcutta in an army staff car on the night of 18/19th August, leaving when it is "already evening" and arriving "well into the morning" the next day. We're also told that in 1960's "From the airport there is a daily Viscount service to Calcutta and a twice-weekly Fokker Friendship service to Agra for the Delhi connection": in other words, from Mayapore it's west to both Agra and Delhi, and east to Calcutta, and far enough east of Agra to make it worthwhile having a twice weekly small aircraft flight between Agra and Mayapore. In fact Agra had no civil airport until the 21st century, but collectively these details probably put Mayapore on the GTR somewhere between Allahabad in the west (about 500 miles from Calcutta) and Bodh Gaya in the east (about 300 miles).

message: The plot summary is written as if Merrick falls in love with Manners before noticing Hari Kumar.
The novel makes it clear that Merrick isn't aware of Manners until she's already gone out with Kumar, whom she met as a result of his arrest. E A (talk) 15:03, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
