Help![edit]

I just created this page, mostly using content split from Abarat, and it really needs work. Here are some things that need doing which I could use some help with:

Inline citations and improved references
Expanding history and intro sections
Improving infobox
Adding categories
Adding links on this page and on related pages, including possibly See Also links and Main Article links
Going to every single Abarat-related page and making them all consistent with one another, also eliminating unnecessary ones. Some of these just have a passing mention of the books or series, which can be easily fixed. Once you feel that a page has been sufficiently checked and improved, please leave an indented comment to that effect under the appropriate list item.

There's more, I'm sure, but this is just what comes to mind right now. Any help would be appreciated! Augurar (talk) 23:55, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really know how to edit Wikipedia, so I'm not going to muck about with your pages, but an important thing to note is that in books 1 and 2, Candy is only 15. There are also several glaring flaws in your Days of Magic, Nights of War page; namely, the entirety of Candy's first trip into the Abarat was eight weeks (including time spent in the first book and between books); Candy returns to the Hereafter in order to protect her friends, NOT to escape from the Abarat's perils like a coward; and Wolfswinkel's hats were completely destroyed by Letheo (turned into "confetti"), so while the confetti was in fact probably left behind, the article should be edited so as to not imply that they were left in any sort of wearable form.

Hope this helps!
