[edit] Character List

Maybe we need a list of characters that appear iin his books. Dora Nichov 03:39, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial links

If anyone puts the commercial links back in, please explain why they're necessary when we have links to the versions at Gutenberg (with illustrations). —JerryFriedman 20:56, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

The commercial links provide an easy and delightful way to introduce young children to Burgess's works. A lot more user friendly than Gutenberg.

So your idea is that a parent or precocious child could read this article and then enjoy the commercial site? I agree that it's more child-friendly. "Delightful" is a matter of opinion; I like the original illustrations better. Also, some of the linked stories don't have relevant illustrations (yet?). Anyway, I'm not sure that's a good-enough justification, so I'm going to ask for other opinions. In any case, there should be only one link, not one to each story. —JerryFriedman 01:04, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
I agree that there's too many links. One or two is enough, not one per story. See WP:EL for more guidelines.TheRingess (talk) 01:12, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
