Eldest

This has been suggested to be put under peer review to organize what info there is in the article. The WikiProject Inheritance Trilogy will hopefully put this up for FAC when a little better written. There are no specifics on what to be suggested here; just anything that will help. Icelandic Hurricane #12_(talk) 00:24, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Needs more references to each of the press releases and reviews. As for the plot synopsis, I'll improve on that with references (I had originally written it :) Also, the characters section needs to be reorganized; it doesn't look too good or appealing, maybe an infobox?--May the Force be with you!

It definitely needs more references. :) Also, the introduction needs to be much longer; other FAs have intros that are sometimes three and four large paragraphs in length. Also, is all the information about publication in other countries necessary? « Amina . skywalker (¿Hábleme?) 13:06, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article. (it should be 2-3 paragraphs, with more content than just a sentence each)

This article may be a bit list-weighty; in other words, some of the lists should be converted to prose (paragraph form).

The article will need references. See WP:CITE and WP:V for more information.

Please provide WP:CITE information for references/footnotes. See also WP:CITE/ES; templates like {{Cite web}} and {{Cite book}} may be useful here.
This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.

Images with fair use tags need fair use rationales - please see WP:FUC. Specifically, Image:Eldest-usa.jpg need(s) proper fair use rationales.

Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, years, decades, and centuries without full dates generally should not be linked. For example, January 2006 should not be linked, instead change it to January 2006. Also, please note WP:BTW and WP:CONTEXT, which state that years with full dates should be linked. For example, February 28, 2006, should be come February 28, 2006.

Per WP:MOSNUM, at Units of measurement, numbers with SI units of measure should have conversions in US customary units and vice versa. These conversions should keep to similar values of precision. For example, "the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth". Note that the converted unit of measure uses a standard abbreviation, while the source unit is spelled out in the text.

I would suggest transferring Critical reaction section after not before Plot synopsis. - Tutmosis 15:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
List of chapters section seems unecessary.
Characters section should be converted into paragraph form if not removed. This a encyclopedic article about a book not a guide to it.
Publishers in other countries seems unecessary but if you must it should be one of the last things on the page.
Release versions should be expanded or merged into lead.
A section about book elements and/or themes would be nice.

In response to AndyZ's bullet point about date links. This can be done easily using a 'dates' tab in edit mode. Simply copy the entire contents of User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to your own monobook. You will also get a 'units' tab. Hope that helps. bobblewik 19:28, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
