Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

The caption under the book's cover is apparently a joke. (No one who knew the names would make those guesses.) But it's funny, so I'm leaving it.

To say that Galina is captured by Perrin is misleading.

I've added a bit saying that Tuon wasn't "officially" the Empress since it is mentionned (by Suroth) that she would not take a new name or become empress until the Mourning was over. Page 753, slightly below the halfway mark in the page.

Alright, I've change a lot of the Plot Summary bit, adding a somewhat thorough(in my opinion) summary of what Mat and his posse do in the book. It's my first long change, so please give pointers/criticisms just remember that I bruise easily ;). Ray B

You said something along the lines of 'thanks to Alivia's innovation, mat whipped ass, etc.' I assume that you meant Aludra, the Illuminator, being as Alivia is the 400 yr. old former damane with Rand.

I was going to expand upon the Rand and Perrin summaries to match up with the large and somewhat overly done Mat summary, but, they were so ignored it's hard to really build upon it to any useful degree becaue the one/two line summations pretty much say it all.

I tried to clean up some mistakes and add a more thorough short summary. Feel free to improve this further (or fix my mistakes ;-)

I don't have my copy of the book here to do the scene justice, but isn't there another Forsaken tea party in this one, including a forceful insinuation that Sammael is either alive or being impersonated? 129.237.90.24 21:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Policy violation

The article, as it stands now, is currently in violation of WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE section seven, as it is mainly a plot summary. More information will be need to be added concerning real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, or it will continue to be in violation of policy. This is a major series; we should bring it into compliance.MPoint
