Cover
[edit]The cover currently used in the article is that of the first edition (?). It used to be the cover of the second edition, but this was changed in 2019. While the first printing is typically what we use onwiki, if another is more notable or recognizable we should use that. Looking it up the second edition cover is far more well known it seems, so IMO we should be using the second cover - the first one seems very rarely used to recognize the book, searching pretty much anywhere (especially given the publication history). I actually can't find any non-wiki sources using the first edition cover.
Additionally, due to a fluke in US copyright law, the cover of a book actually required a separate copyright notice either in the book or on the cover art, separate from the book copyright (if it was published in the period where notice was required for copyright, which this was), so there is a non zero chance one or both covers are actually public domain. I may check this later. PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:08, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Dystopian?
[edit]Is it really a dystopian novel? — it would be good if we could get a WP:RS for the novel being described as dystopian 2A00:23C6:D603:8001:68D9:8846:2D8B:7D12 (talk) 09:04, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Seems a bit WP:SKYBLUE to me, but I've got three potential sources off a simple Google search:
- The Turner Diaries: How a dystopian neo-Nazi novel helped fuel decades of white supremacist terrorism - Vox
- The Turner Legacy: The Storied Origins and Enduring Impact of White Nationalism’s Deadly Bible - International Centre for Counter-Terrorism
- How 'The Turner Diaries' Changed White Nationalism - The Atlantic
- I haven't time at the moment to look for more scholarly works, but that should give us a starting point. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 21:25, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
