[edit] Read like copyvio
This page needs to be checked out for a possible copyvio... the "bibliography" section reads like it's been ripped right out of a journalist's newspaper/magazine interview, as well as having problems with encyclopedic relavence, pov, grammer, spelling, and sentance flow. If nobody feels up to the task, I'll look into doing a rewrite sometime next week. Arcuras 16:27, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)
- I agree.. Seems to be a lot of quotes or something like that. Going to give editing it a shot. KorbenDirewolf 00:54, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- While looking for background info on Jacques I saw several publishers' sites with articles remarkably similar to what was here. I've done a rewrite and hope its better than what was there. I know there's still room for improvment and probably extension. KorbenDirewolf
[edit] picturebooks featuring Redwall Abbey
I was unsure which section to place The Great Redwall Feast & A Redwall Winter's Tale due to the books not being considered canon by some fans. Fill free to move them to another section as you see fit. Markryherd
- I moved them in with the rest of the Redwall material since, while technically not real novels in the series, they deal with the same subject matter, in a way. Tacked "(picture book)" on the ends of them to try and prevent confusion, as well as mixing the formatting around. May as well make them into links in the vain hope someone decides to catalog them at some point in time. Arcuras 17:00, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Stroke/sickness?
I know Brian suffered some sort of stroke one or two years ago? I actually looked this article up wondering if he was still alive. Apparently, he seems to be. But this article has no mention of it.
And the mentioning of Gonff...? That's a character way back, in the book Mossflower....if indeed the biography was ripped off, it sure is an old quote.
No, the mention of Gonff can be seen on the official Redwall site, and just cause the book is old, doesn't mean he can't still talk about it.
Also, Gonff is a character in The Legend of Luke.

[edit] Jakes?
Why is his name pronounced "Jakes"? His name is from the French, should it not be pronounced as such?
- Mr. Jacques is British, so at some point perhaps his ancestors changed the pronunciation. He has specifically stated how his name is pronounced, so there's no ambiguity here. ~MDD4696 00:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Possible upcoming vandalism
I would really recommend that this page be protected from edits by new or unregistered users. SomethingAwful just released a satirical piece about Mr. Jacques, and I'm sure the goons will vandalizing the page soon. ~Ghetto Gandalf 01:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
