Talk:List of Ender's Game series short stories

This page is not an inclusive list of Card's short stories. His book First Meetings (a short story collection) has it's own page.

Fair use rationale for Image:OSCfirstmeetings.jpg

edit
 

Image:OSCfirstmeetings.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Existing redirects

edit

For several short stories, the dedicated page has been redirected to either the novel they were incorporated in, the anthology they were published in, or to this page (list of short stories).

  • First meetings
    • The Polish Boy
    • Teacher's Pest
    • Investment Counselor
    • Ender's Game (no redirect)
  • Ender in Exile
    • Ender's Homecoming
    • A Young Man with Prospects
    • Ender in Flight
    • The Gold Bug (no redirect)
  • List of Ender's Game series short stories
    • Pretty Boy

Non-Existing redirects

edit

Other stories still have their own, dedicated page, while the stories above no longer do. Only Ender's Game (short story) is certainly notable enough to have a dedicated page.

All other short stories (that still have a dedicated page) have:

  • either been incorporated in a story
    • Ender's Stocking is incorporated in A War of Gifts
    • Gloriously Bright is incorporated in Xenocide
  • or been published in the anthology of IGMS
    • Mazer in Prison
    • Cheater
    • Pretty Boy (already redirected)

Further more, in the section for IGMS, 4 links now redirect to the novel Ender in Exile.

Suggestions

edit

So my suggestions are:

  • to make redirects for the remaining dedicates pages, after consensus has reached about each page
  1. ASFF
    • Glorious Bright
  2. IGMS
    • Mazer in Prison
    • Cheater
    • Ender's Stocking
  3. Ender in Exile
    • The Gold Bug
  • to remove all links to stories that are redirected to another page (novel, anthology, this page)
  • to create sub sections within the section IGMS :
  1. published in the anthology (OSC's IGMS)
    • Mazer in Prison
    • Pretty Boy
    • Cheater
  2. incorporated in Ender in Exile
    • A Young Man with Prospects
    • The Gold Bug
    • Ender's Homecoming
    • Ender in Flight
  3. incorporated in A War of Gifts
    • Ender's Stocking
