Paradise Valley or Livingston???

The initial paragraph says that he lives in Livingston which is then followed by the Biography paragraph that states his hometown is Paradise Valley. Can someone who has verifiable source correct this inconsistency? 144.15.115.165 20:48, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like vandalism to me. Paolini's biography as linked in the references has no references to Livingston. I'll remove it. UnaLaguna 06:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Paradise Valley is just outside of Livingston, which is probably where the misconception came from, as very small towns are often associated with the larger towns that they are by. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.162.202.21 (talk • contribs)

Picture

Since this quote is frequently used "a medieval costume of red shirt, billowy black pants, lace-up boots, and a jaunty black cap" - is it possible to get a picture of him in this get up?? 144.15.115.165 20:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shur'tugal had a copy of that picture floating around somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.162.202.21 (talk • contribs)

Here it is:

Haha, brilliant! If we can find out what sort of copyright covers this, and get rid of the black border, then we're in business! UnaLaguna 08:26, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's in a private album. If GhostoftheOpera took it, copyright would rest with them. --Mark H Wilkinson ^{(t, c)} 09:15, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Damnit. Here, I've found it on Shurtugal, along with like four others: http://galleries.shurtugal.com/thumbnails.php?album=42 I think it's either promotional or public domain.

Notice the template I added at the top?

Yep, it means many of these discussions on the books and Paolini shouldn't be here. I'm getting fed up with it, and it's making the talk page needlessly long. From now on, I'll delete anything unrelated to the article which people write on this page ("when is book 3 coming out?") "eragon is awesome" You have been warned. UnaLaguna 05:58, 30 June 2007 (UTC) When IS book 3 coming out? I'm wondering too![reply]

Plagiarism allegations are unsourced and inflammatory

I am removing the plagiarism nonsense from the article. Its unsourced and libelous. Below is the news.google.com search for him regarding plagiarism (none, and their records are very good and go way back) Your search - Christopher Paolini plagiarism - did not match any documents.

Suggestions: Make sure all words are spelled correctly. Try different keywords. Try more general keywords. Try fewer keywords. Try Google Blog Search. Also, you can browse today's headlines on the Google News homepage. Michaelh2001 18:26, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You do know that sources don't have to come from the news, right? That's why if you actually browsed wikipedia, you can see that pages are able to be sourced from actual books. It's called a bibliography. If anyone wants, I can add up a 'comparison' page between things like Eragon and The Dragonbone Chair/The Belgariad/The Ruby Knight/etc, citing pages. But it'll be torn down by some pissed-off fan in a few seconds. - Krim — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.191.52.26 (talk • contribs)

No, it would likely be removed due to one of Wikipedia's core policies on article content: No original research. Editors should only include material from reliable sources without adding further analysis. If you wish to write an essay along the lines you've mentioned, I'm sure there's a fansite out there which would be interested. --Mark H Wilkinson ^{(t, c)} 20:02, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
