[edit]I removed this paragraph:
- Though hardly a movie to watch for relaxation, this work is in a real sense a masterpiece. Rarely has a western-made film better evoked the Eastern Bloc atmosphere, as well as the gradual changes overcoming that region from the 1980s on. Likewise, few films one can think of have had the patience to document at length the difficulties good men face under a political system which goes out of its way to threaten, but - perhaps even more effectively and insidiously - to tire and bore, them into submissive inactivity. The viewer finds him/herself simply rooting for von Sydow, Sutherland and most especially Rea, as they ultimately prevail in the name of justice.
Wikipedia really isn't the place for movie reviews, I think. risk 00:18, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Well, yes, altho it's good to summarize the spectrum of widely respected film reviewers' reviews, which might have the same thrust as the removed content above.

- Thousands of active WP editors would welcome your opinions about what made it suck, whether it still sucks, and (if so) how.

Fair use rationale for Image:Citizen x.jpg
[edit]![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:Citizen x.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.

[edit]This link takes us to a Japanese sportsman, not the writer of the book. Can somebody clear this up,, please? - I don't know how. gramorak 12:37, 28 August 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gramorak (talk • contribs)
- ( Off topic: Contrary to our usual expectations, i offer here an WP:Off topic discussion contribution.)
User:Gramorak, a grammar-aware colleague, and probably a scholar of grammar, is a fine example of the species of WP contributors who started pretty much clueless about how to get started here, may have gotten no active help at all, and seems, after admirable patience thru (as far as i've investigated) ineffective attempts to solicit advice on getting started, to have (i know not whether with or without eventual advice) learned how to make some really admirable contributions.
They've evidently not contributed for a couple or few years, and may be beyond the returning (one comment seems to suggest an age around 70 or so, which -- tho far from being too old to edit -- does raise the statistical probability of having stopped at least sine die. I noticed them here, but i'll also comment on their talk page.

Crimes unique to capitalist societies
[edit]The clause
- ... his crimes were not widely reported for fear of revealing that such things ever occurred in the USSR.
is unsourced, and (IMO equally unsatisfactory by being) flabbily worded. A more credible student of Soviet history than i could provide, and source, wording in the direction of "it was well established political and sociological doctrine in the S.U. that patterns of criminality like serial sex murders can not occur in industrialized societies, except where capitalism had deformed those societies."
(IMO, much of the significance of the film lies its contribution to clarifying that thesis.)
