Talk:Goblins (webcomic)

Cleanup
As you can obviously, the current Wiki for goblins is a massive wall of text sans formatting. Step one is to organize the existing information into usable Articles and Paragraphs, then edit and refine that information within that structure.

Anybody out there want to help?

- I've done a bit of cleanup on characters, as well as adding a couple new ones. I would head on to the plot summary next, in order to refine and condense it a bit - except that it's so badly written I can barely look at it, let alone read it much. Editing it will be impossible for me: Could somebody else get on it? 80.221.173.126 (talk) 11:24, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Rape?
Not a single instance of the word 'rape' in the article? There is a large amount of character development based around the graphically described and repeated rapes of one of the core characters. Someone should really mention that the subject is brought up repeatedly in the comic if only to inform potential readers before they give it a try.

Note: Captain Dellyn Goblinslayer arguably the worse of the bunch is actually based upon a real-life rapist and was deliberately inserted by the author to represent him. Source? Read the comics blogs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.241.104.66 (talk) 11:48, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

New Gender/Name of Author
The author has recently come out as transsexual, with the new name Ellipsis Hana Stephens. What is Wikipedia's stance on when to call someone who transitions by their new name and gender? Wolffh76 (talk) 00:16, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The relevant guidelines are in Biography, with more guidance in Manual_of_Style/Biography and Naming_conventions_(people). In essence, yes, a person should be referred to by their current name even if the name-change is self-published, and it is okay to mention the previous name only if the person was notable under that name.

Substantial rewrite
The previous version of the article contained lots of unsourced sections, sections with only primary sources or references to discussions on forums, and material on the card game and the animated series which had been built up over time and so wasn't written consistently. the article is now clear on what it reliably sourced and what is not, has all the new references I could find, and collates and summarises the history of various events.
