Major Edit
editI plan to do a major edit to include some additional sections in the article from the WikiNovel project. I'm going to use most of the current article for the plot summary. As soon as I get it finished and updated any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Nazgul533 02:05, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

editThe following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
- Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
- Consider adding more links to the article; per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and Wikipedia:Build the web, create links to relevant articles.[?]
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called ==The Biography==, it should be changed to ==Biography==.[?]
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.[?]
- Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
Allpigs are pink, so we thought ofa number ofways to turn them green.” - Avoid misplaced formality: “in order to/for” (-> to/for), “thereupon”, “notwithstanding”, etc.
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
- Avoid using contractions like (outside of quotations): won't, don't, didn't.
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

editshoulldn't the characters have their separate articles —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.101.155.120 (talk) 19:11, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- I'd rather leave them here for now - if we create individual articles, somebody will come along and complain that we're "not demonstrating real-world notability", and delete them.--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 22:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed, I think they should be left on this page until each character description starts getting so long that it warrants a separate page. In addition, I suspect that Diane Duane might have actually spoke in interviews or something about how she invented the characters, which would provide some good "real-world notability". --Kweeket Talk 02:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
