[edit] "Enjoyment" warning
The "enjoyment" warning is definitely true, but does it conform to the NPOV policy? There is already a spoiler warning in place, and one implication of a spoiler warning is that you won't enjoy the materials as much if you proceed to read them later. Adding the "enjoyment" warning after this makes it sound like we're plugging the book. Juansmith 22:37, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, we should remove the enjoyment warning because while I do agree it will lessen the enjoyment warning it is firstly biased because ultimatly some people won't enjoy reading the book and wikipedia is supposed to be nuetral. Secondly the spoiler warning says the same thing but doens't have a point of view SirGrant
- Agreed. I removed it. Juansmith 02:33, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Golden Compass"
Should perhaps a search for "Golden Compass" redirect to this page? Many American fans will probably use that term in the search.
- The Golden Compass already did point here, and I added Golden Compass, so I think that should do what you suggest. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 15:01, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Northern Lights image
What is that image doing here? Shouldn't we have the covers of the UK and US versions of the novel rather than random aurora images? - Cuivienen 20:56, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with you. I've uploaded the cover of the UK version. -- goncalopp 01:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Alternate covers should be placed near the bottom, just for completeness' sake. 68.225.240.87 20:25, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why the change of name?
Does anybody know why the American publishers felt the need to change the name of the book, instead of just keeping it as it was? It seems pointless and unnecessary to me, but I'm sure there must have been a good reason. If anybody does know, perhaps it'd be worth adding that to the article too? (I'm just going to go and ask the same question about Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone/Sorceror's Stone. ;-) - Delaney 15:38, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- i thought it was a bit dumb because its called the alethometer in the book anyway, but i spose its harder to say. What ,if any, was the comment about the american name change of the philosopher's stone?Dyna Dude 15:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
