Speedy deletion

This article was nominated as having little or no context. I have removed speedy deletion as it is capable of being expanded as per this Google News Archive search. [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Capitalistroadster (talk • contribs) 16:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC-7)

I think that was the right call. The article is very stubby, but the books are hugely popular in the United Kingdom, and an article on them is probably justified. I'll try and bulk up the article a bit. My son loves them, so I supposed I am as qualified as anyone to do the research and put it in. --Legis (talk - contribs) 12:20, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I have put a bit more detail in. Is anyone able to ascertain sales figures for the Astrosaurs series? I know they are very popular in the UK, but the basis for my knowledge is the man in the shop warning me that new releases sell out extremely fast so to get there early, which is scarcely encyclopediac. Does anyone have access to hard figures that could be put in? --Legis (talk - contribs) 10:19, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I would like people to give this article a bit more. How about putting Images of all the Astrosaurs books on to it? I started this article a few months ago. Try to include images of the collector cards. User: Woggy

Improvements for Astrosaurs Article

This Article is quite small and i think that it needs to be bigger below this message is a link to the Next Astrosaurs book (Claws of Christmas) Image. I don't know how to get images on so could one of you do it? Also we could put more images of the books onto this article, We could put text in about the other series Cows In Action, Which isn't that popular yet because it just started this year. We could also put information about some of the Astrosaurs books on this article as well. Have any of you got any ideas for this article, Because i think you will all agree that its very small, And we need to expand it you will get images of Astrosaurs from official tesco website and official wh smith website Here is the link to the Claws of Christmas book cover. The Claws of Christmas book cover (Woggy 07:00, 15 July 2007 (UTC))

Although this reply, or any sort of reply is somewhat late, a Cows in Action section is not a good idea for this article, because this article is called Astrosaurs not Astrosaurus & Cows in Action series (or something like that) which is why I've removed it. Besides, Cows in Action has its own article, and as for getting images, I doubt that's going to happen since at least 6 images related to this article were deleted for failing Wikipedia's image guidelines. --Andromedabluesphere440 (talk) 11:44, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Classification as start

I have classified this article as a start due to its level of organisation and detail. It needs to be sourced but congratulations to those who have expanded the article. Capitalistroadster 20:21, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Improvements for article

This article is a short article, And no doubt needs expanding i have a few ideas for the article. We could put images of all of the books on this article, We could also put in an image of the 12th Book The Sun Snatchers available at Amazon website just type in Astrosaurs the sun snatchers and you should get to the image. Also we could put in a bit about Cows In Action, A new series That started this year by Steve Cole I am going to improve the article and make it bigger. If you have any ideas for improving this article, Then do improve it, Because it needs expanding. (Woggy 07:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC))

Astrosaurs

Not much people have been paying attention to this article lately. I edited it a little bit. I hear that the article lacks sources, but what exactly are they supposed to be? if sources means websites that link to the article, then i am sorry, but the only 2 sources i can find are the Random House website and the Astrosaurs website. (Shadowmoon13 (talk) 15:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)) The Astrosaurs website has now be intergrated with the Random House website.81.20.187.182 (talk) 06:44, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Improved book section

I have just updated the list of books section. I have put a small destricproticen of the first 3 books in it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.20.187.182 (talk) 06:46, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

I have rated it as a start due to its level of detail and organisation. Its main weakness is the lack of sources. Capitalistroadster 20:42, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
