Hi,

Thanks for creating The Dresden Files The Seven Laws of Magic.

I changed the first bit from "In the world of Harry Dresden" to "In the fictional world of author Harry Dresden". The beginning needs to put the article into context - to explain what it's about.



Welcome...

[edit] The Dresden Files

Hi! well, you're certainly being bold. :) No complaints from me, but keep in mind that the new pages will now have to meet individual notability requirements, as per WP:Spinout. I suspect, though, the the pages you've broken it into are reasonable chunks that could have notability established. - Bilby (talk) 02:31, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll see if I can help with references later on - I have a pile of them on the topic, as working on the article has been in the back of my mind for a while now. Just a suggestion, though - there is a tendency to bring the "in popular culture" articles to AfD. The ones I watched survived, but I'd consider making sure that one is notable soon. The other risk is that lists that don't look like lists can be a problem too. The information you moved was suspect in the original source, and will probably be more so as stand-alone pages. I'm not sure what the best solution would be, but I'll think about it as well as see if I can come up with something. One solution, though, is to make them more "listy" and less like prose, but that would involve a lot of culling. Anyway, it has improved the main article a great deal, so hopefully it will work out well overall. :) - Bilby (talk) 05:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

By "bibliography" are you referring to the references list? If so that's derived from the individual references, so you need to edit them within the body of the text. - Bilby (talk) 06:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah. I understand now. Sorry. :) Try here - for some reason it is a template rather than being part of the page. - Bilby (talk) 06:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
