[edit] Check

Someone needs to do a check on the spelling of this name. It's varied here.

It's Tasslehoff, not Tasselhoff. — JIP | Talk 11:03, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

There must be more sections. Tasslehoff is one of the best known Dragonlance characters (even though I don't like him). I suggest having the Biography divided in his personal data, his role during the War of the Lance, during the Chaos War, and during the War of Souls. Also, added a See Also link to Dragonlance continuity issues, because Tas' role during the War of Souls is very questionable. -- ReyBrujo 20:42, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fixin Time

Since no one seems to be doing much here, I'll start working on it. DoomsDay349 21:05, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Please ignore the amount of empty sections. They are there as reminders for me on what i need to do. Or, if you want to do something inside of them, please do. Just don't delete them. I will be filling them soon. DoomsDay349 00:29, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I suggest adding {{section-stub}} to every section so that nobody deletes them. -- ReyBrujo 00:33, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Good idea. Thanks. DoomsDay349 00:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First Appearance on Template

Isn't his first appearance in Dragons of Autumn Twilight? DoomsDay349 01:03, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

No, actually Heis and Hickman told Roger Moore a bit about Tasslehoff, what they expected Tasslehoff to be, and Roger wrote a short story that was published in the Dragon magazine. This is the first apparition of Tasslehoff, as related by the authors in the Annotated Chronicles book. -- ReyBrujo 01:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh... I see. DoomsDay349 18:27, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Time/War/Test of the Twins

Tasslehoff contributed greatly these events, so I'm adding a new heading. I'm putting it after 'After the War'. Rearrange if needed. This is merely a placeholder, and I'll help contribute to the other sections when applicable. I'm also a bit unsure as to what the heading should be.. - Moe 11:56, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death Gate

Don't know if its worth mentioning but he makes a camoa appearance in the death gate cycle as author of a diary found by the leading character.

wandering stranger from Holland —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.31.68.58 (talk • contribs) .

It would be nice having such addition, yes, as it would inform readers that the character is not only found in Dragonlance. If you can get more specific information (like book name, volume, page, author, etc, it would be better. Thanks! -- ReyBrujo 18:27, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


It seems i was wrong its the other way around in one of the books of the dragons cycle, Tasslehoff is rummaging around in his backpack and finds a diary with the name Haplo on it, discarding it wondering where he got it. Haplo being the lead character in the death gate cycle. Wandering stranger from Holland —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.92.231.199 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Better Picture of Tas

Does anyone have a better picture of Tasslehoff? The current picture is fine (the one w/ the wizard), but a picture with only Tasslehoff in it might be better. BKalesti 18:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] War of Souls Entry

I really hope that this is some Vandalism, because it sure is ridiculous and extremely off the mark. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.215.10.1 (talk) 03:31, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kitiaratasslehoff.JPG

Image:Kitiaratasslehoff.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Notability

Why do all the Dragonlance characters have a string of things like notability and references on them? Most of these are major characters in a major fantasy novel series. Caramon Majere had original research things after statements like "He shared in the dream that all the Heroes of the Lance endured when several of the heroes (including Caramon) entered the realm of Silvanesti and found themselves trapped in the nightmare of Lorac, Speaker of the Stars." Did some idiot set up a bot to make a mess out of all the articles or is someone just ignoring sources like Dragons of Winter Night, the primary source for the nightmare of Lorac. Getting annoying removing these garbage tags. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 13:12, 4 April 2008 (UTC) When your writing about a novel or group of novels and your references are the novels themselves, it doesn't seem to make sense to complain that there are no links to the sources, few publishers freely show off their products for free. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 13:22, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

At the time of writing, no reliable secondary sources providing evidence of notability for the fictional character Tasslehoff Burrfoot are cited in this article. The article has many primary references (citations from the author & publishers), but none that are reliable seconary sources. I have restored the notability template to this article. --Gavin Collins (talk) 10:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
