[edit] Fair Use Of Image

Someone needs to get a fair use picture of the book cover to go in the infobox, if anyone but me even cares. --Geoffron 13:36, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot

The plot summary is far, far, far too long. I'm too scared to dive into it, though. It needs to be chopped up into smaller bits. --Geoffron 13:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article cleanup

i'm going to see if this article cant get special cleanup taskforce attention. this is bad...'Knowledge lover1123 21:26, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

Isn't the book itself the source? Why would we need to add sources? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Geoffron (talk • contribs) 13:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC).

Actually, it can be a source, because the author wrote it. however, you need to give page references, and right now, i dont have time to do that. poor Maximum will have to wait a little while for me to have fewer school projects before i get down to doing it.

[edit] Rewrite

Personally, I think the articles need a complete rewrite, all of the articles of the series needs one actually. Whstchy 20:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC) Seeems like all of the articles need a rewrite --Prettywhitekitty (talk) 14:21, 28 January 2008 (UTC)Prettywhitekitty

[edit] Rewrite Continued

I am making a new summary in Microsoft word and then pasting it in. how long should it be? I am not deleting the old one until i am done this one. so, mabey 6 paragraphs or shorter, i could do 5... Knowledge lover1123 11:21, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but don't forget it should be a lot less detailed than the current, which is way over the top. Also, when you're done with it, add it to the plot section of User:Whstchy/mywip, I'm working on the rewrite there. Whstchy 16:58, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re-vamp, Rewrite and Sources

Hi, This article is in desperate need of attention. I am willing to improve the article by giving it a major re-vamp (improving sections such as the plot and characters, as well as adding themes, literary techniques, praise and aclaim if I can manage all that). I will re-read the book and add chapter references in the rewritten plot (which I hope to shorten; sticking to the major points). I will hope to start this over the next few weeks. Any help is of course appreciated here on Wikipedia.
You may notice I am doing this for all the Maximum Ride book articles.

EDIT: I originally wrote this for the Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment talk page and of course there is no plot summary in this article so I'll write one when I do the re-vamp. — Movie Junkie 16:21, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to do Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, and until its done and I'm happy with it, I won't be starting on this article. If someone else has the time the article needs so major changes. — MovieJunkie ^Talk! 12:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
