Assessment[edit]

This is coming along nicely. A few comments: the plot should be trimmed to adhere to WP:Plot; and consider adding sections to present the themes and perhaps the writing style, if any verifiable information on the themes can be found in reliable sources.

Thanks! I'll try to find some good sources for the themes and such. I've trying to find a good way to trim the plot without taking some important details. ITs probably only because I've read the books so many times a lot seems important to me. Derild 49 2 1 00:35, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here's some Information about a film adaptation. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 00:44, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen that around when searching, but its been like that for three years and still no updates. I'll copy and paste from the main article, its already there. Derild 49 2 1 01:29, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions[edit]

Suggestions for improvement:

follow the style guidelines according to WP:NOVSTY found here.
suggest moving the "themes" section after the "Synopsis" section
not until the "Awards" section does the article mention this is a children's book. If it is, then add that to the lead and maybe to infobox as well.
A few WP:MoS issues need fixing: per WP:Quote, punctuation should be outside quotation marks unless you're using logical quotations, which is a bit complicated.
Be certain to follow Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction) and to keep a real-world perspective. Don't hesitate to ask, if you have questions about this.
References have parameters missing such as publication dates, place of publication. If you're using citation templates, fill in as many parameters as possible. Also, retrieval dates should be consistently formatted.
Infobox: at some point adding an image to the infobox wouldn't be a bad idea. This section in WP:NOVSTY has information about uploading under Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria - but I'd suggest you wait before doing so. I'm not familiar with this series, and want to do a bit of research first, to be certain it's okay to upload an image. Ping me when you're ready to do so.
Needs a copy-edit. Once you've done everything you can on your own, consider add a copy-edit request at WP:GOCE on their request page. If it doesn't get done, let me know and I'll swing through with a quick copy-edit.

That's enough for now. I'm always happy to answer questions.Truthkeeper88 (talk) 17:03, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Simly's other name[edit]

The article mentions both "Simly Fyre" and "Simly Frye" - can someone check with the book? -- John of Reading (talk) 19:04, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

TheBestBat (talk · contribs) has fixed this. Thanks! -- John of Reading (talk) 07:20, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
