[edit] Czech translation
I have the book "Divadlo krutosti" ("Theatre of Cruelty") in front of me. It's a collection of all the short stories by Terry Pratchett (with the exception of Death and What Comes Next), translated by Jan Kantůrek (the translator of all the Discworld books). The Czech title of this story is, surprisingly, "Trollí most" ("Troll Bridge"). I have no idea why should the story be named "Základna" (Base/Foundation) in Czech; it has nothing to do with the storyline. The reference is almost certainly mistaken (or perhaps "Základna" is a name of another anthology?)
- Aha! Here's a page of a Czech SF/F book database; it lists the following books where the story appears:
- Divadlo krutosti
- Mamutí kniha humoristické fantasy
- Základna 7
- Further update: that link seems to be also mistaken; this page lists it as "Základna 7/95" - apparently some sci-fi/fantasy magazine. (The Cori Celesti part seems to be completely wrong; Google found nothing relevant.) - Mike Rosoft 18:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Here it's stated explicitly. - Mike Rosoft 19:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Making Terry Pratchett a Featured Article
This is a call to arms to make the Terry Pratchett article a Featured Article. It will greatly help the cause if all the side articles that link from it are of a reasonable standard. Terry Pratchett has around 40 side articles (ie the ones relating to his work) - I don't think they are all expected to be GA (Good Article) standard for TP to become featured, but certain basic elements will be looked at for sure.
A full list of the sub articles is here on the TP talk page: I'm posting this comment on the talk pages of each article on the list. Editors reading may also like to help with the TP article too?
The main issue, especially with smaller articles, is often a finding reasonable amount of citations, and prose can sometimes be a little POV too. Coverage of the topic is probably less important, but of course it needs to be reasonably good. --Matt Lewis (talk) 15:13, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
