[edit] Novels, etc.

If I have time in the near future I'll try to get to it myself, but as of now Tanizaki's novels, short stories, and essays are all mixed up under "Novels" if someone would like to sort those out ... CES 20:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay. I leave the matter to you though I still think "short stories and essays" should be added not to mislead the readers. Hikigaeru 17:20, 15 December 2006(UTC) 

...or perhaps it should be replaced with "Selected Works" considering this list contains a portion of his all works. Hikigaeru 17:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I was going to separate them, but I realized I wasn't familiar with all the works and was unable to categorize them. For now, I'll change the header from "Novels" to "Selected Works" but in the future it would be nice to separate his writings by genre, like we have at Haruki Murakami.

The existing article incorporated some of the old myths and misconceptions about Tanizaki, along with some incorrect dates and English titles that didn't correspond to the titles of published translations. I've tried to correct the mistakes and misperceptions and flesh out some of the discussion. I'll work on the list of works and bibliography when I can get to them.Ahchambers 03:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tanizaki Junichiro.jpg

Image:Tanizaki Junichiro.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.
