Improvement

I'm going to take charge of the collaboration here. The current collarboration needs major work and I really enjoyed this novel so I'm going to pick it up. First I'm going to finish laying out the plot section, put in the characters, and create a critical reception section, you can find most of my intentions however and my plans in the summaries of my edits. Please don't delete a bunch of stuff or make major changers without consulting with me and talking about it. This should be a group effort if other people come in, but since I've set up most of the current article and am spearheading attempts to improve it I think I deserve at least that. I'd love second viewpoints in the article, help improving the quality of all the sections and help finishing and getting sources. My goal is to get this to GA Class at least.--Robert Waalk (talk) 03:04, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As of 22/8/2009, the plot section is only half finished. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.213.156 (talk) 21:56, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ideas or Suggestions

Got any ideas or suggestions? Place them here.--Robert Waalk (talk) 21:09, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck in your project! I wish I had the time/energy to help you. This is a great book and deserves more on here. Suggestions: obviously, the Plot section needs to be finished. It just stops. It would be interesting to see a summary of all the "clues" that Elizabeth gave Edgar. Maybe a list of all of Edgars paintings, noting those with "power..." I'm not really sure all of that belongs in here, but it's the sort of thing that I personally look to Wikipedia for.

I don't neccessarily know if adding a list of plot elements is a good idea. I already disliked the idea of listing characters, but since it was a popular novel i thought it appropriate. --Robert Waalk (talk) 01:01, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

I added to the plot section, as I felt that it left out a lot of key plot elements. It you can think of a way to improve it or condense it without losing any of the elements, go ahead. Karrmann (talk) 20:48, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have slimmed down the plot text a bit. I originally targeted 750 words -- I got it down to 870, which is maybe just a shade long, but there's a lot to condense, notably the two timelines. Gonna keep it here for now. Sskoog (talk) 11:43, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
