[edit] Good Article nomination has failed

The Good article nomination for Battle of the Burning Plains has failed, for the following reason:

It doesn't discuss the significance of this battle outside the fictional universe. Worldtraveller 12:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alot like "I am your father"

There should be something about how the end bit is coppied from Star Wars, I put a it that said that on but it appears to have been removed by someone who is unable to comprehend that Paolini (basicly) plagerised, that person should remember that it is not only their opinion that matters on wikipedia.

I DO NOT want to get in to an argument with fans, but there has to be something about it. Shadoom1 06:42, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but Wikipedia only posts verifiable comment; this piece of information is only your opinion, and not actually verified. As you can see, most of the article is adapted from the book itself, so it is totally verifiable. For more info, please see WP:V. --May the Force be with you!

"Speculation Murtagh, in his final revelation says "...Zar'roc should have gone to Morzan's eldest son, not his youngest. It is mine by right of birth"[8] The use of the words: eldest and youngest in the superlative, gives rise to the theory that there are more than two brothers, one of whom is between Eragon and Murtagh in age."

This bit is not verified but is still in the article, if I put the "Iam your father/brother" bit under another heading would it be okay? Shadoom1 04:48, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the speculation per wikipedia policy. Please do not re-add your "I am your father" content. --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| ŗ 3 $ |-| ţ |-|) 05:22, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prod concern

I don't beleive that this article is a deleteable article, as it describes a major and important incident in a major book. The concerns of original research are laughable; as you can see, it is so highly referenced, and there is no OR part. The whole content has its source from the book. And this incident is definitely well-written, comprehensive, and is near GA level, so there is no question of a bad article. If you feel it's not-notable, maybe you would think it's more important than a pokémon character. --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| ŗ 3 $ |-| ţ |-|) 10:28, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Outcome of the battle

Having not read the books (but with a curiosity prompted by the critics' slamming of the movie), I looked to this article for understanding of this universe. My biggest question is WHO WON THIS BATTLE? Though the article states that the arrival of Eragon's kinsmen and the dwarves disheartened the Imperial forces arrayed against them, the very last line--after the description of Eragon's defeat at the hands of the other rider--indicates that the Resistance was thoroughly routed. Which one happened, and if they were routed, what turned the tide back against the Resistance? Thanks. 208.58.73.181 19:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
