[edit] Mistake?

Right before it gives a description of the different parts, it says that there are five parts. However, only two "parts" are given, making me think that some of the parts were thrown together a little haphazaradly. Should this be fixed? Minnyhaha (talk) 13:35, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

It's not that the article was done haphazardly; it's that revision and expansion was never finished. The decriptions of parts three through five are there, but are much shorter in the article. Whereas part one (and most of part two) have several full paragraphs describing action and events in the novel's first two sections, the remaining three sections have very little text in the article at all. This is athe result of the Novel COTM, when the first two sections were greatly expanded, but no such expansion has yet been completed for the other sections. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:37, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested links

An automated Wikipedia link suggester has some possible wiki link suggestions for the The_Plague article, and they have been placed on this page for your convenience.
Tip: Some people find it helpful if these suggestions are shown on this talk page, rather than on another page. To do this, just add {{User:LinkBot/suggestions/The_Plague}} to this page. — LinkBot 00:52, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

These are all mentions of the Plague at the beginning of a sentence, so that they appear in the text as "The Plague". None seem to be worth linking to except the human condition. --EncycloPetey 19:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Author / Narrator

I think learning that Rieux is the narrator counts as a spoiler. - Unregged reader —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.64.158.68 (talk • contribs) 18:20, November 29, 2006

Damn you!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.91.48.204 (talk • contribs) 05:58, December 19, 2006

I would agree completely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.94.38.240 (talk • contribs) 23:43, February 9, 2007

After death of children Paneloux stop implying that all who die becouse of plauge were sinfull. What's more it is suggested that he himself might died for other reason that plauge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.205.211.71 (talk • contribs) 12:59, May 2, 2007

"While Camus gave no opinion of the act in The Stranger itself, in the conversation the participants seem to have an entirely negative view of the subject."

The book was 'written' from the perspective of the dr. Rieux not Camus. Actually there are a couple of chapters where Rieux mentions that he looked at the journal of his friend Tarrau. But nontheless, the opinions within the book are not those of Camus.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Theplaguefg.jpg

Image:Theplaguefg.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

deleted vandalism about smoking weed and playing xbox, but can't remember my password to sign in Unitariansangha75.203.115.230 (talk) 03:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but you didn't restore the text the vandal deleted. I have done this. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
