I was previously trying to unify the content related to C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. Not so much editing right now as putting things in order, categorizing, making Narnia specific things a bit more uniform. I imagine that those pages will get a lot more traffic after the Disney movie comes out, and that people would be more likely to add stuff if things looked a little more "well kept."

Things to do
[edit]- Rethink the usefulness of the Narnia page. Maybe it should be changed into smaller articles and those summarized on The Chronicles of Narnia
- Make Reading Order section into article and summarize it on main article
Add The books section with very brief synopsis of each title (maybe not needed)Restructure Publication/reading order section (with a table?)move Cultural/External References to own pageCategorize Cultural/External Reference section (is this long enough to summarize and split from main article?)Add section on differences in American/British versionsCombine the stub "Narnia Places" articles into one listCombine the stub "Narnia Character" articles into one listThe Narnia creatures section is a mess, but I don't know what should be done to it

Useful bits from other pages
[edit]When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.
