Cleanup

This article is full of "work in progress" notices and the like, and needs more complete information and some serious updating. Szyslak ( [ +t, +c, +m, +e ]) 23:10, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Can you help?

Copyvio

I'm removing material from NBC's official site, as it's copyvio. I've done the same on the character pages, which are currently on AFD. If they survive, the should probably be pared down and merged into one big article. -- Vary | Talk 17:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Character list

I really don't think all the characters should be listed as it is right now. The main ones would be enough really. Tartan 17:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Removed most of the character list and left only the main characters.--NeilEvans 18:21, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Entire 10th Kingdom Catagory Cleanup

Yo. Because I've got the time on my hands, I'm looking through the 10th Kingdom pages, and find that A) People say they (the pages) need to be cleaned up, and B) Nobody has apparently been working on them. I say apparently because I'm stupid and just realized I havn't been checking the dates on more than a few pages... >.<

Specifically, I'm working on Windel's page at the moment... and I've noticed some things: Pretty much, a lot of the page is a rehash of the movie plot, from the viewpoint of the character. If I recall, the other character pages are following suit. Perhaps we could cut this down a bit?Bengaley 17:26, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I think there's far too many "fan" sites listed in external links, and the current "status" of each only adds to the problem. Wikipedia is not DMOZ. "Official" links, IMDB, and perhaps one to the DMOZ category (using the correct template) should be more than adequate. -- "Trivia" can be removed. The link is simply a page within a previously referenced site (see previous note) and the bit about the similarity to a European map can be incorporated into the article text. vmz 12:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

• In response to the comment about "working on Windel's page", with all due respect, Daniel Lapaine's role was Prince 'Wendell' not 'Windel' Suggestion: see the mini-series before editing to assure correct data. This wiki is not abandoned if you are wondering. (agree with removal of Trivia section; removed)

9 Kingdoms section

This should be either renamed to Ten Kingdoms (As it includes the 10th Kingdom in the list), or a Horizontal Rule should be placed above the Tenth Kingdom to seperate it. I'm partial to the last one, myself...Bengaley 17:29, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Ive done it.--NeilEvans 18:19, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I was hoping to get some discussion before going forth and doing it ^_^;Bengaley 20:09, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

It was only a minor edit so I just went ahead and did it.--NeilEvans 20:29, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Truth, but I wasn't quite certain if it should be one or the other yet. But it seems appropriate.Bengaley 18:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Synopsis

What tense should this be in, past, present, or future? I'm not certain yet, but it seems it switches tenses in a few places, and before I start making edits... Which one should stay?Bengaley 18:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

As a work of fiction it should be written in the present tense, unless a character is refering back to a time before the events of the film. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by NeilEvans (talk • contribs) 21:11, 15 February 2007 (UTC).

Merge proposal

As noted in the category cleanup topic above, most of the Trolls page is simply a rehashing of the plot of the movie. There are no independent sources and not likely to be. The articles should be merged. 24.4.253.249 19:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

No the two articles are very different, one deals with the Trolls as portrayed in the fil, while the other deals with the film as a whole.--NeilEvans 20:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Can you phrase that in terms of Wiki guidelines? Maybe find some reliable 3rd party sources to validate the Trolls article? 24.4.253.249 09:08, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the merge proposal. There is nothing really unique about it and all of the information there could easily be incorporated into the plot section for the main article (which is insanely short for a 7 hour movie).Collectonian 05:36, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Similar Movies

Is there any real need for this section? It would seem to be covered just as easily by appropriate category links. Collectonian 05:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Major Clean Up and Character Articles

Since the original Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/10th_Kingdom_character_articles months ago, nothing has been done to clean up any of the Character articles at all. Taking the Be bold idea to heart, I tonight I went through and removed all information that violated the no original research and copyright policies. With that stuff gone, there nothing was left but a regurgitation of the plot from this article! Since that is very much pointless, I went back through ALL of the character articles and set them to redirect back here and removed the links to them.

I've also gone through this main article and done quite a bit of clean up. The 10 Kingdoms section is gone as it was all copy/pasted from the original site. Just because NBC no longer has the site live does not mean the content is no longer copyrighted. I also cleaned up some writing, fixed headers and formatting to try and get it more in line with the film style guides. There is still much left to be done. A reception section is needed, a background/production section (the making of would make a great source here!), the plot section needs a complete rewrite, and of course it needs sourcing.

I'll work on the needed stuff as much as I can, but of course I welcome help from other editors who want to improve this article. It has the potential to be a great article and with some hard work I think this article can at least make it to B class quality! Collectonian 08:19, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

SPOILER REMOVED

I removed a major spoiler from the character section.
