Changing page[edit]

Changed the page so that it refers to the book series by Nancy Springer rather than the character. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 23:23, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Major characters[edit]

I have been reverting the extensions to the Major characters section because they provide too much information. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information (WP:NOT). A fictional character section written as if it were a biography gives undue emphasis on titles or birthdates, which may in fact be very minor plot points (WP:IN-U). This article aims to help readers understand the premise of this series and its themes and critical reception, and adding intricate detail and trivia do not help and even hamper understanding (WP:TRIVIA). Please stop expanding the characters section, so editing can be focused on more important information, such as the critical reception of the series. Thank you.

Doyle should be mentioned more prominently[edit]

I feel like Arthur Conan Doyle should be mentioned in the lead paragraph alongside the Sherlock Holmes mention; currently, he's just listed in the Lawsuit section. Not immediately sure how to work it in, myself. ~EdGl talk 15:24, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Improving the article[edit]

Due to the recent increase of views due to the release of the movie, I think it would be interesting to take this opportunity to improve the page to B, possibly to GA. I've added some scholarly information about the book (mostly about genre and feminism) and I'm looking for some more information about the series background. I'd welcome if other editors could vet the following sources I've found, since they are primary:

I'd also recommend removing the subsections in "Series overview" and instead have a single section going over the overall story, instead of going into the details of each book (which could probably have their own pages and navbox). I'll wait for answers from other editors while I go through the sources and look for more. Thanks! Isabelle ^🔔 14:03, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For the series overview section, at least, I think the structure should be kept as-is, but the contents changed a bit to include more facts of the books themselves (e.g. release details, reception) and less plot summary. In my opinion, the books should only become separate articles if their sections grow enough in content and sourcing. ~EdGl talk 18:11, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds sensible. I will start working on it soon, but I think I will focus on expanding the background first. Thanks! Isabelle ^🔔 13:13, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decade-long hiatus[edit]

Is there any explaination for the ten year gap between the sixth and aeventh books? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6850:4750:D59E:9424:A8E0:404D (talk) 21:25, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm replying to this because I believe it is germane to how this article should be organized.

Before I start: the main obstacle is sourcing. A lot of the below is WP:OR and WP:SYNTHESIS, so it can't be in the article. Otherwise, I'd've edited directly already.

Upon its publication in 2010, the sixth book (Goodbye) was indeed billed as the last book. When I searched for the first six books on the publishers' websites, they appear on Penguin's but not on Macmillian's. The first six books had physical releases.

The next story, published 2021 as Black Barouche, and its successors appear on Macmillian's website but not Penguin's. Furthermore, they only have ebook and digital audiobook releases.

Thing is, absent any sources, I would like to organize the Series overview and lede sections such that Wikipedia avoids implying anything about how the series is structured, one way or another: if it is one entire coherent series or two halves of a series.
