Talk:List of Fable characters

References

Kedarroch92 (talk) 13:43, 14 December 2010 (UTC) - Hi everyone im starting to worry about the standard of our references!!! It's becomming very hard to find references that specifically talk about the characters , most just talk about the game.

Yeah, I know. It could be a bit of a problem just for deletions. The content is good, and we know it's accurate. I just dunno how we can find references for this kind of thing. Like you said, all they ever talk about is the game itself, plot and stuff. Character development happens inside the game, and we can't exactly reference an event inside the game, can we?

Kedarroch92 (talk) 13:43, 14 December 2010 (UTC) Not really as obviously revealing how the character develops kinda gives spoilers !!! Im not really sure what the solution is :(

I don't think spoilers are a problem on Wikipedia usually. The page itself is a spoiler anyway, seeing as the player would think Theresa and Scarlet Robe are dead until they get to that point in the game anyway. lol. The only real issue I think is the referencing our character details. The main issue about that is that all references are from fans who quote or talk or w/e, like on the fable wikia, but wikipedia doesn't like that unfortunately... What do the others think?

copy edit

I went through and copy edited some of the characters, not finished but will be back to finish.Millertime246 (talk) 01:44, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

GOCEreviewed

I tried to copy edit the article, but there is a problem that cannot be solved without subject expertise: the tenses are all mixed up. For example, in the "Scarlet Robe" section, we have "Unfortunately, Jack eventually caught up with Scarlet and sacrifices her to acquire the Sword of Aeons". What should be done is for the events before the start of the games to be narrated in the past tense, and events during the games in the present tense. Unfotunately a copy editor cannot do that -- one has to know the games to do it. So I've placed GOCEreviewed here and added "|attention=yes" to the WikiProject Video games box. The article does need copy editing, so you'd be welcome to tag it for copy edit again once this issue has been dealt with.

I have, however, removed "primarysources" and "notability" tags from the article. They were added in November 2010 just one minute (!!) after it was created. Clearly there are now enough secondary sources here to validate notability. --Stfg (talk) 17:40, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Temporary redirection

I should warn everyone that I'm about to redirect this article to the main Fable series page. Fret not; I'll be keeping a copy of the list here, which I will proceed to work on over the next few weeks or so. After that, hopefully we should have an article that actually lists the characters outside of the first game and is generally up to a better standard. – Bellum (talk) 03:30, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Why should the article be redirected during your work? --Onorem♠Dil 04:01, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Because it's got such gaping wholes that it's unfit for the mainspace with no assertation of notability and I'd probably be redirecting it anyway even if I hadn't decided to try and finish it. – Bellum (talk) 12:43, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
