[edit] Lewton?

Shouldn't Lewton from Discworld Noir be mentioned? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 20:31, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Night Watch?

The main article suggest the City Watch was "formerly" the Night Watch. Is this right? I seem to remember, although it has been a few years, that the Night Watch subsumed the already-existing City Watch when Vimes was promoted. -- YLlama

It could be phrased better. There was the Night Watch and the Day Watch, and when Vimes was given a position over both forces he got rid of the "hours of darkness" rule so they were all just the Watch. Daibhid C 18:33, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Was Buggy in Feet of Clay?

I don't have the books to hand, but as I remember it Buggy was introduced in Jingo; it was Wee Mad Arthur in Feet of Clay, wasn't it? Serendipodous 18:04, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reason for tags

I can't understand why this article has the tags at the top. It's certainly better than most articles on fictional universes. How do we get this status changed?Konczewski 22:51, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Watchwomen?

Why does the article mention watchmen(women)? I've always understood that all women in the watch are watchmen in the same way that dwarfs and trolls are still watchmen--Shadebug 10:53, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Good point. As Angua says, she doesn't have sex while on duty. Yoink. --Kizor 18:37, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Making Terry Pratchett a Featured Article

This is a call to arms to make the Terry Pratchett article a Featured Article. It will greatly help the cause if all the side articles that link from it are of a reasonable standard. Terry Pratchett has around 40 side articles (ie the ones relating to his work) - I don't think they are all expected to be GA (Good Article) standard for TP to become featured, but certain basic elements will be looked at for sure.

A full list of the sub articles is here on the TP talk page: I'm posting this comment on the talk pages of each article on the list. Editors reading may also like to help with the TP article too?

The main issue, especially with smaller articles, is often a finding reasonable amount of citations, and prose can sometimes be a little POV too. Coverage of the topic is probably less important, but of course it needs to be reasonably good. --Matt Lewis (talk) 15:00, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] German Translation

I'm new on Wiki and want to translate your article into german. How can i do this and do you allow it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by M-Nut (talk • contribs) 13:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stronginthearm a Decendant of the Cube-Bearer

This is a load of crap. There's a different Stronginthearm in almost every book. A Stronginthearm is a rabble-rouser in Men at Arms, a different Stronginthearm is half of Burleigh and Stronginthearm who manufacture crossbows... It's the dwarf equivelant of Smith or Jones.

It has no basis within facts. I'm deleting it.
