Talk:The Winter King (novel)

Plot summary needs copy-editing
The information under the plot summary is very good information-wise but needs a little bit of work in the area of grammar, spelling, tone, etc. I did the part for Book 1 but the rest still requires some attention, so I put up the "needs copy-editing" tag. If anyone has time, I think a simple spell-check would help a lot. Stoa 04:08, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Done, removed tag but if you think it needs more feel free to re-add --Phl3djo 18:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:TheWinterKing.jpg
Image:TheWinterKing.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Notability Comment
It is shameful that this article is over a decade old but has no references. If it is notable, please add references to prove it. Jmertel23 (talk)

It's beyond question. Just look into it. There were a few refs ("sources") before my rewrite but it was shit article. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Winter_King_(novel)&oldid=855948992 SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 19:43, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

But that's my point - I shouldn't have to look into it. Reliable sources need to be provided. Jmertel23 (talk) 19:45, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Btw Wikipedia is full of similarly totally shit articles about novels, I think about 99% or so of all of them. Even The Witcher, one of the perhaps two hottest fantasy franchises of them all right now (along with The Game of Thrones), has shit articles for the original novels (even after my cleanups, including requesting any reception, like here but months ago - still none or almost none).

I don't disagree with you, and I do appreciate the work you've done to improve this article (and others). Jmertel23 (talk) 19:50, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

The Witcher books also have no refs or almost no refs, too. Complete shitshow, but only typical. Even in Polish Wikipedia, about the most famous modern Polish literature. The Witcher also has only 1 characters article and nothing else (not even a list), here the protag had an article but I redirected it for being literally nothing but plot. It's just painful. I rarely write novel articles, but I wrote all of Daughter of Tintagel once. It's not hard or anything. SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 19:56, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
