[edit] The Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of
Hi - just found your article on this fascinating book. As some other editors have pointed out, this needs a lot of rewriting for neutral point of view; right now it's more of a review than an encyclopedia article. Describing the scope of the book and summarizing Disch's arguments: good. Calling anything "brilliant" or "highly amusing" or "eminently readable": bad. ←Hob 15:55, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
I like the new version, and I made a few more tweaks for format and flow. By the way, it helps if you log in with your username before you make edits to articles or talk pages, and sign talk page comments with ~~~~ - I had to look back at the history of the article to remember who was talking to me. Anonymous edits are OK too but then it's harder to tell what's going on. ←Hob 10:43, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks a lot - you've been a big help :) Euchrid 06:28, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The Citadel of Chaos
Hiya, I've added the infobox to The Citadel of Chaos to begin with. Hope you like. Keep up the good work. Cfailde 16:13, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Skyfall
Skyfall is also the name of a novel by Catherine Asaro. I'm building it up. Can you help. Like, can we resolve this conflict of name together? It would help me learn. Thanks! JamieJones 01:30, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
The thing to do here is to change the Skyfall page from a redirect to Legend of Skyfall to a disambiguation page which provides links to both entries. I've done that, but feel free to change it as I know nothing about the Asaro books and you may want to alter the details. Euchrid 07:06, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fighting Fantasy
Hello Alex — I thought I should write you a note since you seem to be one of the major protagonists in the Wikipedia Fighting Fantasy pages. I'm interested in contributing to this collection of pages and it seems sensible to have some discussion with people about this.
First off, I've made a rewrite of Moonrunner and added Legend of the Shadow Warriors to Wikipedia, and I'd really like to have your comments.
Second, it's noticeable that the pages for the different gamebooks are very uneven in style and content, and it might be worth rewriting a lot of these to bring some sort of uniformity. Of course, some books' wikipages will have to have extra sections or details, but I think we can bring a lot of improvements to what's there right now.
The basic form I have in mind would follow what I've done for those two books: (i) an intro along the lines that you provided, giving the technical info, followed by (ii) a spoiler warning; and (iii) an overview of the book, not in a separate section since it will be short. This would be followed by the "See also" section containing the usual links, and if necessary a Notes section to give footnote references. All books would also have a Fighting Fantasy infobox. A possible additional section, where necessary, could be Errata (one or two books have misprints and errors in them).
What do you think? —WebDrake 18:28, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Format of articles
The resemblance to the format you used is not coincidental: I saw the way you'd laid out Moonrunner, liked it, and decided it was worth extending to the rest of the articles. :-) I probably should have credited you in my comments on the FF Talk page but I wasn't sure if the format was your invention, or somebody else's. Anyway, I'm glad you like the work — Stephen Hand's books are some of my favourites as well! —WebDrake 17:39, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
