[edit] The Entire Article
The author of this page has taken his or her descriptions of the character straight from the novel itself, "Wizard's First Rule". As a quick reminder to all readers and future Wiki authors, when a person copies another person's work word for word, or directly without taking any incentive to cite, or place quotation marks, ("") around that of which he has copied from, it is known as plagiarism, and there can be severe repercussions for copying a published piece of work, innocent or not.
Let me give you an example of what was copied word for word from the first book of the series:
"Torches set in ornate gold brackets lit the walls of the crypt with a constant flickering light that reflected off the polished pink granite of the huge, vaulted room, lending their smell of pitch to the fragrance of roses in the dead, still air. Fifty-seven gold vases set in the wall beneath fifty-seven torches that represented each year in the life of the deceased. The white roses in the vases were replaced every morning without fail for 3 decades. The floor was white marble, so that any white rose petal that fell would not be a distraction before it could be whisked away. A large staff saw to it that no torch was allowed to go spent for longer than a few moments, and that rose petals were not allowed to rest long upon the floor. The staff was attentive and devoted to their tasks. Failure to do so resulted in an immediate beheading. Guards watched the tomb day and night to be sure the torches burned, the flowers were fresh, and no rose petal sat too long on the floor and to carry out the executions."
Please take into consideration, and re-review your article and make the necessary changes to your page. It is understandable that one may wish to be lazy in the production of this Wiki page (then, if that is the case, the person should not waste his or her time by insulting the intelligence of his or her readers by reproducing the original author's work and leave the job for someone else who has the desire to create the page the proper way, themselves) they should use quotation marks, ("") and then properly cite from which book, and which page they have gathered the information from.
Thank you in advanced for your co-operation and for your complete understanding.
Changed, to simplify.
