Talk:Palin Majere

Division

The article should be divided in Palin's early life, his Test, his role in the Chaos War, and his role in the War of Souls. Comments about the Academy should go directly in the Academy of Sorcery article. -- ReyBrujo 21:04, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

I am suggesting a big chunk of information that appears in the Raistlin's Return section of the Raistlin Majere article be merged here, from the merge announcement to the horizontal line. That information about Palin's test fits better in a new section here than in Raistlin Majere article, since the focus isn't Raistlin punishment, but instead, Palin actions during his Test. -- ReyBrujo 06:01, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Class

Should Palin be listed as Wizard of High Sorcery, Sorceror, or Commoner? I know it is preferable to go with the least shoicking info, and yet I lean towards Sorceror for some reason...DoomsDay349 02:47, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

It depends on a couple of things really. What do you all go by? What he is the most famous for (Wizard), what he spent the most time as (Sorcerer), or what he currently is (Commoner)?--Kranar drogin 09:47, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

The least shocking info is generally the consensus...such as Paladine being listed as deity, not elf. DoomsDay349 17:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Picture needs replacing

The picture contained in this article is incorrect. It actually depicts Caramon confronting Raistlin and Crysania at the portal. Simnja 0812 EST Nov 19 2006

No, it is not. That is the picture from The Magic of Krynn. Caramon is trying to stop his son Palin from going into Raistlin's study, while Dalamar is leading him up the stairs. Palin (in white) is clearly a male, not a female.--Kranar drogin 16:02, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

He's correct. That is, in fact, Palin. DoomsDay349 16:44, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Notability

Being the main character in a few novels that sold fairly well is notable enough not to have the big ugly paragraph at the start I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 13:03, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I completely agree. Lots42 (talk) 12:43, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
