Talk:Classifications of fairies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Seelie

Seelie is a very inappropriate title for this article. For one thing, the term is "Seelie court"; "Seelie" in isolation does not indicate the fairy folk. For another, it includes two sections on classification of fairies. Either this needs to be split into two ("Seelie Court/Unseelie Court" and "Trooping fairies/solitary fairies", perhaps) or renamed "Classifications of fairies".

Well, I'm moving to "Classifications of fairies". Goldfritha 03:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up

For now, I am just cleaning up. The article appears to be written from an "in-universe" POV. Unreferenced material may go flying in this; please provide references to reintroduce. Goldfritha 16:09, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I have shifted the two classifications because my sources indicate the "Seelie/Unseelie" distinction is the older of the two. Goldfritha 16:33, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Ahem.

Some of the original article apparently did have sources. I can tell because I am deleting section for copyright violation. Goldfritha 16:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I've done a run through, clearing out duplications and tightening up the prose. The modern usages section was getting rather crufty, so I cleaned that up and made it more prose-y than just bulleted points. I've also added some sourcing. Ironically, I'm not sure I agree with the main gist of this article. I don't think the classifications thing is quite so widespread. It can certainly be sourced to some prominent authors, but not others. I need to give this some thought. ~ Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 23:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
