this needs to be taken out

The reference to harry potter and their muggles needs to be taken out. It shouldn't be included. Period. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.176.110.227 (talk) 20:49, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spoiler

If someone hasn't read the books, this page could be a big spoiler to them. Should a "Spoiler Alert" be put at the top of the page, or is it not necessary, or not advised, or something? Thhhh (talk) 22:26, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I seem to recall Wikipedia Policy not liking spoiler tags, based on the logic that if you come to a page about a book/show/film/whatever, you should expect spoilers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.14.93 (talk) 22:41, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Biased

This entire section about the characters is completely biased. Whoever wrote this just wrote the whole thing in their POV.

I agree. Especially about Bartimaeus being a comic relief. Being sarcastic and witty doesn't make you a comic relief.

I also agree, luckily I have changed the bit about comic relief to explicate a much better description of his footnotes rather than comic relief if you ask me.

He's not a comic relief at all. Though his comments can be really funny, his parts are just as serious as Nathaniel's or Kitty's. Starla Dear 02:01, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we could say he provides comic relief. Jamhaw 19:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)jamhaw[reply]

Incorrect

Real History

Notice that the English civil war had happened and later wizards seized power also the Holy Roman Emipire never fell making me think that someone in the empire enlisted demons during the thirty years war and also technology appears not to have advanced as far ironclads are the best ships they have but the wisards have got jets.

OMFG!!!

So many of the characters listed are unimportant, only main and major antagonists and protagonists are to be shown not character who existed for 3 chapters!!! I'm deleting the unneeded ones, if you would like to argue, visit my talk page. Therequiembellishere 05:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

movie

i just saw in orkut that some people were ranting on the trilogy being made into a movie is there any truth in this

Another Book?

Does anyone know if there is going to be another book because I have tried to find anything about it but there isn't anything about it. Trust me, the only thing more annoying then finding out that there isn't going to be another book is not knowing anything at all so please tell me if you know anything

The trilogy may be over but there will be a spin off/ side book, that takes place before "The Bartimeus trilogy" recounting some of Bartimeus's previous adventures.

Varoq is NOT a major Character

Who's bright idea was it to list Varoq as a main character, along with Bartimaeus, Nathaniel and Kitty? This is plainly nonsense, so I'm getting rid of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.158.0.15 (talk) 21:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Amuletsamarkand.jpg

Image:Amuletsamarkand.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 Wikipedia: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.

Notability

In what universe is this not notable? It was on the NY Times bestseller list for months and has been reviewed and discussed in virtually every major YA book review. I'm removing the tag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yserbius (talk • contribs) 14:35, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Naming

Why "Bartimaeus Sequence" when the franchise has never been officially called this and all of the lead information within the article itself still uses the naming "The Bartimaeus Trilogy"? ProfessorTofty (talk) 05:10, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because it now contains 4 books. Which makes it a sequence, not a trilogy. 99.251.55.60 (talk) 05:07, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Principal characters section

This section was merged and slightly condensed from the article "List of Bartimaeus characters". While it served a slightly different purpose there, it's now here, and so, it should serve the purposes of this article now. There are 55 named characters, not including organizations. That strikes me as a few too many *Principal* characters. Maybe some of the "Other" lists should be moved into a footnote? Or maybe some (a dozen or two) characters should just be deleted. There's some sense to enumerating at least some minor characters, in an encyclopedic article, so we should trim lightly.Sbalfour (talk) 01:00, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know that each novel has a list of characters in the front part of the book, and the lists are much shorter than the one here. I'm going to be bold and trim the "Other" character categories from the list.Sbalfour (talk) 02:09, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Verroq,Jacob Hyrnek, Pennyfeather, Jane Farrar, Henry Duvall, Jessica Whitwell and all the spirits excepting Bartimaeus, and Faquarl need to be removed - they are strictly minor characters, and the list is way too long. SmileyBone27 (talk) 17:30, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone familiar with this series care to add it to this list?

Types of mythological or fantastic beings in contemporary fiction is a page of, well, fantasy series (movie, TV, written, whatever) and the assorted mythological and/or fantastic critters they contain. This series would qualify. Anyone care to add it? Tamtrible (talk) 00:44, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
