Payton Okay, I'll ask: Why does "Hot Soup" direct here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.195.193.191 (talk)

It was the nickname for Han Tzu, one of the characters. Hbdragon88 08:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this article say Stilson committed suicide? I'm pretty sure Stilson dies from the injuries Ender Wiggin inflicts on him early in the first novel. Ender later learns he killed Stilson while watching Graff's trial. EarthGuardian (talk) 20:56, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Jane (Ender's Game)

[edit]

The information in the article is currently rather minor, and it would fit perfectly fine on the list. TTN (talk) 18:18, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Jane may be minor enough to merge into List of Ender's Game characters, but Ender Wiggin and Formics are notable enough to have their own pages. Ollieinc (talk) 01:00, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
While Jane may be minor enough to merge into List of Ender's Game characters, doesn't it deserves its own page, as only representative of her 'species'. In the same manner, do the Pequeninos deserve their own pages, just like the Formics? Clockworkske (talk) 13:41, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose the merge. As both an IT Systems Analyst and long-time reader of Card's work, the Jane character is notable, in that this is a broad-reaching concept of artificial inteligence... greater in scope and function than "Transcendence" (2014 film) or "Colossus: The Forbin Project" (1970 film).

Structure

[edit]

The current format of the page (structure of listing categories) is (imho) not very clear.

(draft) proposition to re-arrange the page :

Peter Wiggum

[edit]

I have not read any of the books in a long time so I am reclutant to make the edit myself, but despite a redirect from Peter Wiggum to this page and numerous references to the character, there is no biography for Peter Wiggum. I'm kind of mystified as to why he's not included here already. --JohnVMaster (talk) 09:33, 26 April 2016 (UTC) Response: There is no Peter "Wiggum" in the series. It's Peter "Wiggin", and he is on this page.[reply]

Lusitanian families

[edit]

The Lusitanian category includes almost every human character from Speaker for the Dead (SftD). I propose some additional categories, such as the Figueira and Ribeira families (though I'm aware the distinction between them is fuzzy re: the children). Still, categorizing by name might help declump that section.

MestizaMetaphor (talk) 03:52, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I went ahead and made major edits to the Lusitanian human section. I separated them into families and generations, and added characters that had been omitted, all according to the intro pages in SftD. In particular, some may quibble with my arrangement of the name formatting [Nickname (Pronunciation; Full Name; Birth and/or Death date)], but this is consistent with both the author's character page in SftD as well as established wikipedia pages for figures such as Pope Francis. Also, arranging by the names the characters are addressed as in the novel rather than their ornate Portuguese full names makes the section more helpful (imo) for those seeking this information.
