Under the Global free whatsit, is it possible to take photos of the covers of the books mentioned here, at low resolution, and attach them to the article? Cheers Wadhamite ( talk) 14:48, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
The name 'Ljane' should be removed from this article (and other L.J. Smith articles), except as a passing reference to something she tried out. Lisa decided against using the name in the middle of last year. -- 28th March 2009
This information should in fact be under the TV section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lauralubelle ( talk • contribs) 11:07, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Elena gilbert loves Stefan Salvatore but there is a diffrence between them stefan salvator is not a human he is a VAMPIRE and his big brother Damon Salvatore is against him and elena because his other true love kathrine in the 1880's Kathrine turned demon and stefan into vampire's and now demon hates stefan and stefan hates demon. Elena finds out that stefan and demon are vampires and gets very scared of him and then she gets over it and helps him but it is very hard for her not to tell her bestfriend "BONNIE" Elena found out that Kathrine looked exactly like her and thought that stefan only liked her just because of that so when stefan was getting her a drink she saw the picture and then she put the necklace that he gave her to protect her from the mind things that the vampires do and left but it was very foggy outside and Elena saw somebody in the middle of the street and tried to stop but ran over the guy and her car flipped the guy craked his arm,legs,and neck and then got up walked in front of her car and Elena "SCREAMED FOR HELP" to be contiued...... next Thursday
The result of the move request was: Page not moved - The Vampire Diaries (TV series) moved instead. Google results (wikipedia results filtered out) indicate around a 6:1 ratio of hits for TV vs. novel, thus the TV series is the primary topic. A hatnote has been added to the main page to link to the novel series. Ronhjones (Talk) 00:55, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
The Vampire Diaries (novel series) → The Vampire Diaries —
Rather than go through every page on the wiki, I'll highlight a really obvious page:
http://wiki.vampire-diaries.net/Minor_Characters
Compare it to the minor characters section here, you will see it's lifted VERBATIM.
The books:
http://wiki.vampire-diaries.net/The_Vampire_Diaries_%28Books%29#The_Books
Click on the summaries for each of the books. Stolen. VERBATIM.
Character information has also been stolen directly and littered in with other character descriptions. Feel free to check the edit dates for confirmation. If this doesn't constitute as proof, I don't know what does.

I have given credit in the article to the Vampire Diaries Wiki, per the Creative Commons licensing agreement shown at the bottom of the Minor Characters page. Specifically, the agreement allows any kind of sharing, copying and distribution as long as the original site is credited. I think references pointing to the VD Wiki page is a suitable answer to the concerns voiced here. Such named references should follow each paragraph copied from VD Wiki.

So news has just hit that L. J. Smith has been removed as the author from "her" own book series. Apparently this can be done because publisher HarperCollins commissioned the series, hiring Smith to write it, retaining full copyright and whatever else over the series. While Smith created the characters and the events and what not, HarperCollins created the premise. With that, and the fact that Smith won't be writing any more of the series, I would suggest that instead of referring to the the series as "written by L. J. Smith", it would be better served to refer to it as "commissioned by HarperCollins" (or alternatively, published). I don't really know how to go about Wikipedia voting and what not to create large change, so I'm just posting this here, in the discussion page, and hopefully someone else can go about making decisions. Now if you don't mind, I think I'll have to go kill myself for actually having anything to do with a Vampire Diaries article, ick. -- 99.225.1.14 ( talk) 23:58, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
While Tyler and his family are Lockwood in the TV series, they are Smallwood in the book series. Since this article is about the novels, the surname should remain Smallwood. 76.20.213.207 ( talk) 13:31, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
As requested on the topic page, I have substantially edited and condensed the subject matter to address quality issues. Twice now, within a couple of days of my efforts, the same user has erased all of my extensive edits and returned the material to the original form, which includes grammar errors, numerous redundant statements, and opinions. What should I do about this (if anything)? So far I have gone through and replaced my work, but I don't want to do this every time this other person puts back the original rambling, poorly written material. It's kind of annoying and discouraging to have my hard work deleted. For whatever reason, it is not possible to revert this other person's edits. Am I doing something wrong, and should I just give up? Forego5 ( talk) 06:51, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Amazon is used as a references in many a featured article. The Wire is a good example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.215.25.140 ( talk) 20:55, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi, guys. Please calm down. I ask that you please take the conversation elsewhere, such as Talk:The Wire#Amazon not spam or your talk pages, since the conversation seems to be more about WP:SPAM or citing Amazon on The Wire. Thank you. Rotideypoc41352 ( talk) 18:47, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm trying to help my daughter navigate her way through the books, and I think it's confusing that neither this article nor the TV Series main article, has any mention of Stefan's Diaries. In the end I had to go to L.J. Smith's own homepage to find out that they're ghostwritten. I can understand that one might not want to pollute this page with too much discussion of ghostwritten spin-offs, but a mention would be helpful. 130.225.26.33 ( talk) 09:04, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
