Emily Asher-Perrin is an obscure staff writer for Tor.com, so I am not sure what weight her opinion has on the Dune series, or on the Baron's character generally. 206.197.62.14 (talk) 16:28, 19 March 2019 (UTC)Diws[reply]
She is hardly obscure, but feel free to add any other sourced commentary you may find. Touponce's Frank Herbert book is on my list to get some Dune analysis for use in this articles, but I think we should accept the fact that the new film is going to generate current commentary on the topic, and we need as much reliable sourcing as we can get.— TAnthonyTalk17:29, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I should note that you have removed this content multiple times (using different IPs and at least one username), your only argument that Asher-Perrin is "a literal nobody" and that I'm "pushing an agenda". What agenda is that? I could accuse you of having an agenda in suppressing this commentary. Tor.com and Asher-Perrin are notable, reliable sources, whether you've heard of them or not. The real issue here is that there is a general lack of analytical sources, which you are not attempting to do anything about. I get it, it's difficult, because there are not a lot of readily available online sources that discuss the character in a meaningful way. But at least I'm trying. As I said above, the new film will probably generate more current commentary, and it doesn't have to be written by Lev Grossman of The New York Times to be worthy of inclusion in this article.— TAnthonyTalk14:53, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have added commentary from several other sources to this article. Regarding your newest edit summary "Removed highly opinionated entry presented as fact.": An analysis section is used to present commentary and interpretation by reliable sources. Do you object to critical reviews of books, films, and TV shows being included in articles as well? Unless you can articulate specific reasons why specific content is inappropriate, you need to stop being disruptive or you may be blocked from editing. Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk01:12, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, you're back with this butchery (reverted by an editor other than me this time). Ignoring for a moment that your edit summary Way to much ink spilled Re: one 'superqueer' activist's opinion comes off as subtly homophobic, I'm not sure I understand why you removed other commentary not related to the character's sexuality from multiple other sources. Or what you find so offensive about Asher-Perrin's comments. As I've said here and in edit summaries, you're welcome to find and add other commentary to mitigate what you see as "superqueer" Asher-Perrin bias, but hiding behind an IP and slashing content because you don't like it is lame.— TAnthonyTalk02:42, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the subsection Plotlines/Dune there is a misspelling of the word "assault" as "assult" in the fourth paragraph when it describes the assault by the sandworms. 89.162.60.98 (talk) 03:09, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Triosdeity:This edit was my 2nd revert so I thought we should discuss the issue here on the talk page rather than get into an edit war over it. I'm not sure I understand your objection to its inclusion, as the statement is cited to a reliable source, the authors, one of whom is one of Frank Herbert's heirs. Anything Brian Herbert says about these kinds of things speaks for the estate and are therefore "official". Thanks!— TAnthonyTalk02:37, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was confused because I've never seen any other source state the reverend mother being Jessica's mother, it was my first time seeing this info too. But after looking at the source it is valid so I shouldn't have reverted it. Thanks for the message! Triosdeity (talk) 14:53, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
