Some Preliminary Suggestions

Uh-oh, empty talk page. I've had the pleasure of reading this book and would like to see this article reach it's full potential, so here are few of my ideas on improving and wikifying this article: 1. Maybe change the name of the article to something shorter, so the words don't stack up like that. 2. I think we need an infobox. 3. The "content" paragragh is interesting, but I've never seen any other article do anything like that (list the chapter titles) Maybe it's good... 4. Work on expanding that groovy little plot summary paragraph, but not too long please, 5. Jane is not ditzy, so I removed that word! Yes, she has her head in the clouds, but she's not ditzy. Actually what does ditzy mean? I think it means something negative. 6. Get references for any other kind of content you can think of!!!! Peace and safe travelling, --RainbowWerewolf (talk) 07:22, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've expanded the plot summary, and the title doesn't seem to be an issue anymore. I added an infobox, external links and some info with some refrences in the top paragraph. It would be nice to remove the wikify notice up top, but I won't be so arrogant to think that my changes are such an improvement. --RainbowWerewolf (talk) 19:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still wondering if we should delete the "content" section... again, I've never seen any other article that lists chapter titles, and I'm not sure about the copyright issues on that.... I suppose it would be interesting to some, and I don't like deleting whole sections willy nilly, so does anybody else have any thoughts? --RainbowWerewolf (talk) 13:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to edit it if there are any mistakes. I found one just recently. I don't think The Contents should be deleted, but I'm not the best at making decisions. Depreeeeee (talk) 20:57, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stub-Page needs to be wikified, have the children's book template inserted, and numerous other things. Temperal^xy 03:03, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Pencey"

I wonder if the name of Pencey is derived from The Catcher in the Rye? 𝕎𝕚𝕜𝕚𝕎𝕒𝕣𝕣𝕚𝕠𝕣𝟡𝟡𝟙𝟡 (talk) 17:57, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
