Fair use rationale for Image:The True Believer (book).jpg

Image:The True Believer (book).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 06:35, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect Link

The link to mass movements links to the geological term Mass Movement. This should probably be fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.116.235.29 (talk) 19:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

True-Believer Syndrome

It may or may not be related, but since every attempt of adding a citation needed gets removed, I'm going to remove the See-also, unless somebody can come up with a source that claims they are related. --OpenFuture (talk) 14:39, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

OpenFuture and a ClosedAndSmallMind, I take it. On your user page, assuming everyone is prejudiced, just results in a fait accompli, as indicated by the prior sentence. 72.228.150.44 (talk) 16:08, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

There is no need to be insulting. I have restored the wikilink, but left out the explanation. It is found in the other article. The subject is tangentially related, which is good enough for inclusion. -- Brangifer (talk) 03:52, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

There's no explanation on how they are related in the other article either. There are no connections from the book The True Believer to True-believer syndrome, that's for sure. --OpenFuture (talk) 07:25, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

There doesn't have to be an explanation. Where you may not see a connection, others may. The immediate connection is the words themselves. Another way to do this, and a more common one, would be to add a disambiguation link at the top immediately under the title. Maybe that will solve the problem? -- Brangifer (talk) 15:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

It looks like there already is one, and that should suffice. I'm backing you on removing this one, but on different grounds. -- Brangifer (talk) 15:08, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, that's the point, there already is a disambiguation, and the earlier see also claimed there was similarities, and I'm not convinced. If there is, I'd love to find a source that claims it. I find both types of people seriously annoying. :-) --OpenFuture (talk) 15:41, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Apparently there is (a need to be insulting). 72.228.150.44 (talk) 12:13, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

You're going to end up getting blocked for violating NPA and not AGF, so just stop it. It's not helping anything. -- Brangifer (talk) 15:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Original research

I have removed the original research tag.

It was added without explanation, either on the talk page or with possible examples of original research singled out in the body of the article.

This article is simply a detailed summary of The True Believer, which I have read several times. To my reading, this article contains no original research.

If someone wants to add the original research tag AND explain why they think it's justified, please do so.

Bias

As is quite apparent from the quotation re FDR, Luther, Hitler and Calvin, Hoffer, whose full-time occupation was as a longshoreman, wasn't much of a conservative, and neither, apparently, is the author who chose to highlight it :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.145.40 (talk) 19:16, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
