Of course it needs sources, and of course there there are sources avilable , multiple sources, probably by the thousand. This is a major character in a major work--to put it mildly. Get consensus before any change to a redirect. DGG (talk) 04:32, 9 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Review of student's work

Latest comment: 7 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This is how the article looked before the recent student assignment: [1]. The student edits [2] seem to have only added some quotes, and as such, sadly, do not add any value to the article. In fact excessive quotations are discouraged by Wikipedia's manual of style (see Wikipedia:Quotations). This article needs expansion with regards to the character's significance as discussed by field of literary studies. Students wishing to improve this, rather than adding random quotes, should find scholarly works discussing this character and summarize the relevant academic findings and discussions about this character. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:38, 12 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Sadly, and I don't wish to disparage my own students' work, there is little added to this article by padding it with quotations, although there are a few new sources added. Keneckert (talk) 10:45, 17 June 2017 (UTC)keneckertReply
