[edit] Retention of external link
- A consensus has been reached to retain on The Hardy Boys one external link to the Unofficial Nancy Drew Home Page. Discussions are archived here and here. -- Sitearm | Talk 14:18, 2005 August 31 (UTC)
The link to Hardy Boys memoribillia also falls under the concensus of one link per site on main article pages because it is part of The Unofficial Hardy Boys Web Site. 69.205.9.31 18:01, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
Took it out. Thanks! -- Sitearm | Talk 04:27, 2005 September 1 (UTC)
Looks like an additional consensus to keep the word "commercial" in the Bob Finnan link description, as on Nancy Drew. -- Sitearm | Talk 04:50, 2005 September 4 (UTC)
Agree with Sitearm and Dan East. "Commercial" is an accurate description for the Bob Finnan Hardy Boys link as a comparison with the other links will show. A related discussion is taking place at User_talk:Who#FWDixon.2FBob_Finnan.27s_Link_Spamming Solo1 22:33, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Migrating individual pages into one
Is there any support for rolling up all of these one line summaries into just one page?
lots of issues | leave me a message 13:58, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- You said: these one line summaries.
- Which "one line summaries" you are referring to? In the The Hardy Boys article? Other? -- Sitearm | Talk 04:02, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
-
- The 59 one line summaries. lots of issues | leave me a message 05:45, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
- Ahh... To recap: Suggestion is to take the current 59 separate articles, each with only 2 sentences or so, and combine them into one long page called (something like) "Summary of Hardy Boys book plotlines".
- Support? lukewarm... is it worth the time to copy and paste 59 times, probably; is it worth the hassle of submitting 59 votes for delete, not so sure.
- What is your take on this? -- Sitearm | Talk 11:50, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- We don't need to submit a vfd to merge. We could split the work. I'll do the first 30 if you do the rest? lots of issues | leave me a message 21:50, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Plagiarism
The list of "major features" in the Casefiles section is copied word-for-word from my website [1] (excluding a couple of changes). I'm not really sure what should be done about this... --WillNL 17:30, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, whatever -- I'll leave it, and tell myself that it was my own contribution... --WillNL 17:47, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Hardy Boys Digests" or "Hardy Boys digests"?
The article repeatedly uses an uppercase D when referring to the "Hardy Boys Digests." This implies that "Hardy Boys Digests" is a proper noun -- the official title of the series (like "Hardy Boys Casefiles"). But "Digests" is not the official title; it's a descriptive term used by collectors. Since it's not actually a title, I don't think we should capitalize the "d" in "Hardy Boys Digests", just as we wouldn't capitalize the "p" in "Hardy Boys paperbacks" or the "b" in "Hardy Boys books". Rather, I think we should probably spell it "Hardy Boys digests". What do people think about this? --WillNL 17:47, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grades
"The Clues Brothers books were aimed at younger readers, particularly in third and fourth grades." Not to sound stupid, but how old is "third and fourth grades"? Could somebody who knows please replace the wording with specific ages?Fuzzibloke 14:21, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Internal Links
A number of the internal links for this article (including, but not limited to, pretty much every title link and Frank and Joe) link to the 'wrong' pages...Frank, for instance, links to an Australian author. --Stretch 04:56, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No mention of the TV show?
If memory serves sometime in the late 90s their was a tv show based on the boys adventures. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.89.187.166 (talk) 08:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Casefiles incorrect links
Many (almost everyone) of the working links in section 'Casefiles', link to articles with similar names, but with no relevance to the hardy boys. Someone should suffix all those links with '(Hardy Boys)' 80.162.254.106 18:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hardy Boys or The Hardy Boys?
Naming convention normally says not to use "The" in the title unless it's an official part of the name, like The Beatles, but I see "Hardy Boys" used a lot of times without "The" in front of it, so I don't think it's an official necessary part of the name. Should we move it? Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 10:28, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
