[edit] When is a stub no longer a stub?

This article seems to be pretty concise to me, yet it was tagged as a stub. Since I'm fairly new here, I don't just want to remove the stub tag again if it really is still a stub. If it is still a stub, then what is expected for it to reach article status? Does the plot of the whole book need to be revealed? I hope not, I would hope somebody reads the book for that. .SDG

By the way user 192.220.217.194 in the history is me before I registered. I pretty much wrote the whole article so I just want some clarification or input as to why it was retagged as a stub. --SDG 07:22, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

It looks good enough to me to be untagged as a stub. BTW, if an article has something in it that acts as a spoiler, one can use the {{spoiler}} tag to warn readers that something that may spoil their enjoyment of the work is about to be presented. I'll just remove the stub tag. If someone complains, they can discuss it here. — Frecklefoot | Talk 16:31, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, I don't think there is a need for a spoiler warning. If you've read the book you'll know this article covers about the first chapter is all. It gets much more complex and intricate. I've been contemplating adding more, but I don't really care for the spoilers. --SDG 17:56, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Revisions between versions

Since there are two versions of this book (A Planet Called Treason in 1979 and simply Treason in 1988, could there be a revisions section on this page that outlines the differences between them? There's a short summary of this in the 1988 version, and I'm sure that there are more materials online. Zepheus 21:14, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Good idea. SDG 23:58, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll add bits of his Author's Note from the 1988 version. Maybe someone else can find a bit more. Zepheus 02:14, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Map and regions

I've got a map of the planet Treason from the book that I've uploaded. Maybe we could even include a list of the different regions, including the occupation of the founder of the region, and the skills they've honed throughout the years. Here's a link to what I've started. Fill in what you know. Treason Region Chart - Zepheus 03:13, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm a bit worried that the map is copyrighted by Card. I am not sure what the rules are on this. I know scanning a picture of the cover of books seems to be allowed, so maybe this is too.

I am also a bit worried by that. I believe it's fair use because it is being used the illustrate an important part of the book. If there are any issues, I will surely be contacted. Zepheus 18:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
