Assessment comments

A person who tends to think neurotically and in a disturbing manner and then conveys that state of mind when in the presence of others, leading them to feel unnerved by the person. This label can be used for someone who has this personality all of the time, occasionally, or even during a single situation. It almost never used in a plural form.
[edit] Has this page been vandalized?
Entering this page I found only the "POSSIBLE COPYRIGHT VIOLATION" anouncement, but it pointed to a source that seems to contain no more than the original wikipedia article (and reference to wikipedia). Also, the first time I checked it, the page linked to tried to install dubious software in various ways. Something does not seem right. I have no experience with advanced options like copyright violations, maybe I'm wrong here. Perhaps someone more knowlegable can to look at it... --Kornelis 11:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Entry for Clinton Tyree should not be merged with Sick Puppy.
[edit] PROD
I put this up for PROD for WP:NOT: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information - This is solely a plot summary. --Justanother 17:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- I removed the PROD tag again. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Novels/GeneralForum#.22PROD.22 for details. <KF> 00:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Added more review type information and infobox :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 09:43, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Wouldn't the plot summary be more appropriately placed better lower down the page? I originally came here because I was interested in perhaps reading the book and now I would have to scan past the summary before getting to the reviews and I am sure that I am not the only one that picks up a lot while "scanning past" something. Also, is that summary overlong? --Justanother 14:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Good work, but there still needs to be more information to be in compliance with WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE section seven, as the focus of the article is still on the summary. A good move might be to shorten the summary - if such is possible. I haven't read the book, so I wouldn't be able to say for certain.
[edit] Plot summary
I've trimmed the plot summary. It's still rather long, so more work would be welcome. --Tony Sidaway 00:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Can I just mention that the plot given here actually spoils the reading of the book itself. Everything is given...and unncessarily so. For example, why is it necessary to say how Mr Gash meets his end? Really. This is just spoiling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.163.96 (talk) 10:32, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
