Talk:Pyramids (novel)

Cross reference?

Is it worth making a reference to the character Fleimann (or something along those lines) who is a rather sly takeoff of Flashman? Roasting of the fags, tossing in the blanket, etc.

Mind you, Terry Pratchett tends to do this in every book, so it may not be necessary...

Can this be mentioned? --Matt Lewis (talk) 11:02, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

It can be mentioned, but I am not sure whether that would be wise without a good source. Anyway, I consulted this talk page to see if others noticed it too. Ϝerik 01:36, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Pteppic

Not sure about the UK version of the book, but in my US print version and the Kindle version, the hero's name is written as 'Teppic,' not Pteppic (well - he is referred to as Pteppic until he reaches the Assassin's Guild, at which point the master in charge of writing down boys' names writes it as Teppic, and he is referred to as Teppic thereafter). Should it be changed to Teppic throughout the article? Is it Pteppic in the UK version, consistently throughout the book?73.53.72.243 (talk) 03:28, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

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) 14:12, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

article title

I'm not quite sure why this article was titled "Pyramids (Discworld)" while the others in the series have the more standard "title (novel)" where needed. In any case, I took the liberty of moving it. I wanted to open a topic here, though, in case there was a specific reason for the other title... --Fru1tbat (talk) 17:06, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

You Bastard

Can can anybody explain why You Bastard redirects here? I was expecting an article on the single by Alternative TV, or at least a redirect to the band page. I read Pyramids a while ago and don't recall any relevance, though I might have forgotten something. --Ef80 (talk) 22:35, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

It's the name of the camel. I'd be fine with moving the redirect, though; I doubt anyone's really looking up You Bastard the Discworld character on Wikipedia. – The Millionth One (talk) (contribs) 22:46, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

OK, I'd forgotten that. Given that the song is an equally obscure reference without its own page it's probably not worth bothering about. --Ef80 (talk) 14:27, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
