Talk:Tommy Storm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I loved this book when I read it & I was perhaps over-exhuberant when I saw that no-one had ever written a page for Tommy Storm(!), including quotes from the book cover and info on price etc. when I created the page. I've since recreated the page with all of the "selling information" removed. It's now much more of a sober encyclopaedic entry. The jpeg of the book is still there because I think it's relevant & I'd happily make it smaller & put it to the side of the page, but I'm not sure how to do it. --JamesDublin 18:15, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

OK. What you need to do is find some sources on the internet that talk about the book - reviews, information on how many copies have sold, or something like that. Read Wikipedia: notability and make sure that the book is notable. Natalie 18:19, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, Easons is the biggest book chain in Ireland. Here's the link to the book on their website.

[1]. If you look at the Reviews page on the Tommy Storm website [2], you'll see reviews from Declan Kiberd, perhaps ireland's foremost literary critic and also a review from a critic with Village (magazine) - the closest magazine Ireland has to The Economist. You'll also see an article (in PDF) from Image magazine - Ireland's biggest selling glossy magazine. Finally, you'll also find the book if you search [[3]]. --JamesDublin 18:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Those are good references, except for the Amazon one. Just being available on Amazon isn't really a reference. But those other two references are a start. They do need to go in the actual article, though. Natalie 21:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

The references mentioned have now been placed in the article. Hopefully that works. If not, please let me know. Thanks for your help. --JamesDublin 22:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
