Notable?[edit]

I am not going to flag the article for killing but... do we need this article?- sinneed (talk) 13:42, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I saw the list of books of Nicholas Sparks and this one is the best (to me) as the author has left his standard approach. So the other books have a good description and this one was missing.--Ruedi33a (talk) 08:33, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So, yes then! Add the citations to the article please. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 17:07, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yes the citations are a basic problem. The content of the book is not available in the internet. I have cited other reviews that are consistent with the summary I wrote. Give me more details, please Ruedi33a (talk) 05:27, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have, as yet, cited no sources at all. I added the citation to the book. Please give wp:notability a read.- sinneed (talk) 13:06, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now I have got it, thanks a lot!!Ruedi33a (talk) 04:58, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do not like the way Wikipedia violates the Copyright of the book covers just by reducing the number of pixels of the photo. I have added a suggestion in the info box: a direct link the to the cover in amazon.Ruedi33a (talk) 10:27, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that if you look at the image, you will find a "fair use rationale", or the image should be deleted. If you find images that are in violation of copryright, I encourage you to flag them, as WP takes such very seriously, and they are simply not allowed. I am removing the link to the advert, and if there is a wp image for it, restoring that link.- Sinneed 19:31, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Improving this article[edit]

This article still is a start class because:

The number of sources don't really prove WP:Notability
It doesn't deal with real world information (See Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Style guidelines)

To improve these I would suggest finding sources, on or offline, which deal with themes, publication history, critical review etc. Sadads (talk) 18:33, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
