Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Peer review/So You Want to Be a Wizard
I've just added a section about major characters and the theme to this article, and I figured I need some more opinions besides just my own. Personally, I'm not sure if the theme section is appropriate to keep in or not. Also, what do you think about the length of the summary. I wasn't sure whether I should of cut it down a bit or not, so I just left it alone. But any suggestions for improvement are appreciated. Nazgul533 talk 23:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

editTwo major observations. Only one source - article is desperate need of inline citations and other referencing. Notability - nothing as far as I can see that speaks verifiablity to subject of why or how this novel is notable.
- Another comment - yes the Plot summary is a bit overblown. Quite out of scale to the other elements that should make up a good article. Basically the other elements almost don't exist yet. Nice start but the Plot summary tends to be considered far too important. A Good article can be good even with one. Thanks. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:25, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

edit- Make sure the lead conforms to all guidelines at WP:LEAD.
- The plot summary needs work, see WP:WAF, it is mostly written in an in universie style, not too mention a bit too much, length wise.
- Lack of inline citations makes it hard to discern source material, more important as you add more sources, which you should. See WP:RS.
- The release details section shouldn't be presented as a list, also, not very detailed.
- Work on these points and I can provide a more proper analysis.

- Personally see no reason why "release details" shouldn't be a list. Does need more to it though. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 17:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
See WP:EMBED. IvoShandor 17:19, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- For most things the "Indented List with content" style would work well, however this "Release" type inormation doesn't lend itself to anything other than a list. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:46, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
