I took the liberty of cleaning this article up a little. I hope the original author doesn't mind me stripping out parts of his writeup. - 219.194.176.65 16:59, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Failed GA

The problem with this article is the tense. Articles describing fiction need present tense. Wiki-newbie 11:37, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Present tense? Are you sure, I was going to see about posting a comment here about reviewing, but that doesn't seem right to me.... Homestarmy 02:00, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Articles about fiction typically are written in the fictional present tense. Sometimes exceptions are made; for example, if, while talking about action in a novel, one reflects on a past action. e.g. (if this had happened in the book) Susan, during her coronation, thinks about the horror when the White Witch sacrificed Aslan, but put the thought out of her mind as he crowns her Queen Susan of Narnia. (Not the greatest sentence, but hopefully you get the idea.) However, instead of reviewing I just relisted the article for GA. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 17:32, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I think I see part of the problem here, what's happening is the first section in particular is written as if the reader already knows most of the things about the book. For instance, it doesn't define what "Narnians" are or provide a wikilink, or who "Lucy" is and the wikilink is below the first mention. The content should be able to stand alone, nothing complicated, just a few more words describing each thing might be good enough. Homestarmy 20:15, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
