[edit] Merge
I stand by this article needing merging of content so please do not remove the notice without further discussion. Just to let you know, I voted to keep this article in it's recent WP:AFD so I don't have any problem with the articles but the content really does need some work so it presents a much more coherent idea. For example, if this is a series of books, the coverage of the characters should be done in a single page rather than repeating the information in two separate articles. The Reality Bug and The_Merchant_of_Death both cover the characters, but presumably the overview article doesn't have any information about the characters. If you want ideas, please see The Dark Tower (series), which does an excellent job of covering the characters in the main article, while covering details about each of the books (release date) and major plot points in the each of the series books. --Reflex Reaction 03:28, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry. I just don't get the merge, as I'm starting to edit thid. Thank you. The content is good on Reality Bug, you say? I did that one, and Quillan Games, though Quillan can't be that great because it hasn't come out. Please cont. talking here. WP:AFD? Penman the Egyptian 22:28, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

- Actually what I said was that I don't have anything against these articles (I voted to keep it rather than delete it) but if you are looking for ideas, please check out the The Dark Tower (series) articles because they are excellent. You can learn about formatting and what is appropriate or inappropriate to put into the article. I will help you along with your edits if you would like --Reflex Reaction 22:49, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks Penman the Egyptian 00:47, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
You should look at the article Pendragon - Journal of an Adventure Through Time and Space. It's a different article about the same series of books. I think whoever made it didn't know about this article. Does anyone have a problem if I merge some of it's content into this article? Jonathan W 23:50, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Quillian Games
I just created an article for The Quillian Games. Any help with it would be great Link9er 19:22, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Courtney Chetwynde merged here
See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Courtney Chetwynde. Johnleemk | Talk 14:35, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shorten the article
There's a long long LONG report at the beginning of the article. I think it will discourage people who want to learn about Pendragon. Does anyone have an objection if I delete it (maybe move some of it's content into The Merchant of Death) and replace it with something shorter?Jonathan W 14:42, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Oh yeah, and in the section ACOLYTES there's a subsection called COURTNEY CHETWYNDE. I think I should delete that too, because we already describe Courtney in the list of characters. Jonathan W 14:48, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, I got rid of the long summary at the beginning of the article, along with the Courtney Chetwynde subsection. The summary was good, but just needed to be shortened. Jonathan W 16:24, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Minor characters
Could I ask everyone not to add any minor characters to the Characters Subsection? For example, someone put Boon in the list of Characters instead of in Black Water. Thanks. Jonathan W 20:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Expanding Articles
I was wondering whether we should create seperate pages for each of the sections on the Pendragon series page. I think the Pendragon series article is too long as it is now, but the sections in it are quite limited. I would be happy to write/expand the sections into article quality, as long as I had some help. If we did so, then the main article could focus on the series in general, and each article could go into more detail about the topic it covers. I was just wondering if anyone had any input.

P.S. This would probably remove any further chance of this article being nominated for deletion again.
I agree. This article seems to not be detailed enough. It would be easier to make them better in individual articles. 207.81.56.39 03:00, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pendragon series articles lack in proper encyclopedic format!
I just wanted to point out all the Pendragon articles don't have proper Wikipedic format. We should fix them. 128.147.38.10 02:12, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Release date
In the box at the side, it says: "Released {{{release_date}}}" I don't know how to fix it, but it should be fixed. 71.123.19.163 19:04, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Über-Cleanup
If you ask me, Pendragon series and all articles related to it are in a horrible state. They are either poorly formatted, copyvio, or don't have enough information to substantiate themselves at articles. For one, too little is known about each and every Traveler, so they shouldn't have articles of their own. There's more, but I can't remember it all.--the ninth bright shiner talk 02:05, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Steam shovels!!
My apologies for having never heard of the Pendragon Adventure (which I may now investigate - looks an interesting read!)
An unregistered user has added a section to steam shovel claiming that these machines are prominent in "the First Earth series" (sic). As I don't know the books, I don't know whether to copy-edit the comments (which they need) or delete them as false.
Could someone with the appropriate knowledge check facts please?
