Vathek with or without it's Episodes ???[edit]

I am a little bit surprised to find no mention of the episodes which are part of the narration of the book. In fact, Beckford wanted them to be published alongside the first tale (which only constitutes one portion of the story of Vathek itself). Vathek and it's episodes is an outstanding many-voiced book (a feature typical of the gothic genre) showing, notwithstanding, real coherence, while Vathek alone is a much lesser achievement. It definitely ought to be mentionned here.

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

Image:Vathek.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.

Arabic Manuscript[edit]

Anyone know if the original Arabic manuscript has been lost or is it still available in some form?--Aa2-2004 (talk) 12:56, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of ISBN from Wikidata[edit]

Please note that this article's infobox is retrieving an ISBN from Wikidata currently. This is the result of a change made to {{Infobox book}} as a result of this RfC. It would be appreciated if an editor took some time to review this ISBN to ensure it is appropriate for the infobox. If it is not, you could consider either correcting the ISBN on Wikidata (preferred) or introducing a blank ISBN parameter in the infobox to block the retrieval from Wikidata. If you do review the ISBN, please respond here so other editors don't duplicate your work. This is an automated message to address concerns that this change did not show up on watchlists. ~ Rob^Talk 01:26, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Better Image Needed[edit]

The image used in this article is lop sighted and either needs a new image or the image straightened out.--Paleface Jack (talk) 04:18, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Revert discussion[edit]

Hi @VenusFeuerFalle thanks for the feedback on Gulen. By the way, was there a reason the entire edit was reverted? As I don't understand why the div edit was removed? Danial Bass (talk) 11:38, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
