The Dark Flood

I can use the talk feature. PlaceholderTacitus3019 (talk) 18:53, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Some feedback I have:

1) You should add links, like that of the author, the language, South African Police Service, and Stellenbach, amongst many others. Anytime you see a new proper noun, check to see if you can link it. 2) Properly format the info box, add an image, etc. A good way to do this is to find an exemplary literary Wikipedia article, copy it in the info box, and change stuff as necessary. 3) The citations work but add more. References seem good, with no out-of-date information and a nice neutral tone. 4) In your summary, instead of saying "Griessel," etc., you should say "Warrant Officer Benny Griessel" the first time it comes around and so on for the other characters so that the reader has some idea of what you're talking about. 5) I don't feel the summary flows that great; it jumps around sporadically, especially in the beginning. Make sure there are transition words and the such. 6) reformat the Characters list in bullet form 7) And add the other headings (not all of which are necessary)

All of this is nitpicky but good job overall! Keep it up! Maslov123 (talk) 13:45, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I don't consider it to be nitpicky. This commentary is valuable. PlaceholderTacitus3019 (talk) 20:05, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Some feedback I have: 1.) look for any spelling mistakes. In one of the first few paragraphs you said "rand" and I think you meant "grand". I would change that to thousand if that is what you meant. If you meant to say "rand" then please explain what that means. 2.) try to have a more clear order and format to the plot summary. it is hard to keep up with as a reader. Breaking it up into formal paragraphs and having introduction sentences might help.

Overall very good work! Oshie 2013 (talk) 23:06, 2 April 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oshie 2013 (talk • contribs)

Rand is the South African currency. It is not a typo Theegilamonster (talk) 18:19, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

My last edit was a +296 involving the source code. There was an edit conflict which I bypassed in order to retain the proper citation. I just wanted to be sure this edit would not be undone. PlaceholderTacitus3019 (talk) 03:30, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
