[edit] comment

I will work on this as and when I can, and would welcome contributions. I have currently read the first two books and am trying to locate the third. I will add material to the Vatta's War Sandbox as I find the time, and will update this page only when I complete sections.--Steven.gilberd 12:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Moved personal comment to Talk page. I'll also try and add some more infor to the article. Eluchil404 15:38, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reliable Sources

I am still looking for better sources than the internet reviews linked at the bottom of the page. If anyone has suggstions, I'd love to hear them or just add anything you find to the article yourself. Eluchil404 01:18, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger

I have proposed that the articles on the seperate volumes be merged into the main article on Vatta's War. Given the level of notability of the series I think that it makes sense to cover it with one summary article rather than in 3-5 articles containing plot summaries of each book. If/when the main article gets to long daughters can be branched off but until that time, there is no need for dupliation. If no one objects I will preform the merger myself in one to two weeks.

I have moved the alternate cover art to the main article and converted the seperate articles into redirects. I did not find the plot summary or publication data needed merging. It is still availilbe in the page histories if anyone wants to have a look. Eluchil404 01:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Full names

Thanks to everyone who has been copyediting the article. I obviously can't spell. I do however have a query on the latest changes. I had purposely left out the full names of all the characters except Ky. Do others think it better to included them when known? Eluchil404 16:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I think it's important to fill out full names of Characters when known, as there really are no extensive resources (that is in comparison to larger wikipedia articles on other book series') such as individual character profiles for users to go to for more information on the characters (yet). So in my view, the least we can offer are full names. Zathman 04:59, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe that Gordon Martin is formerly a Staff Sergeant in the Slotter Key Spaceforce, (see Trading In Danger), as he was former Slotter Key Embassy security. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.223.125.147 (talk) 20:52, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fan Community?

Are there vattaverse fan sites to add to the article yet? Is there even a "vattaverse" yet? Marty4286 09:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Not to my knowledge. The only place I've found fans of Moon's work congregating in numbers is at Elizabeth Moon's Newsgroup, sff.people.elizabeth-moon. However, if you do come by one that is established and active - then by all means feel free to post a link to it. Zathman 22:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
