Should the usernames of the reviewers be included in the block quotes?-- Caleballen ( talk) 16:08, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm trying to figure out what was wrong with the Pre-Publication Reviews section of this iteration of the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=The_Way_of_Kings&oldid=375671146 . The reason cited is "Remove original research not mentioned in citation. Remove trivia section not covered or referenced in any third party reliable sources." I suppose looking at an amazon page and the user comments on it would be considered original research, and, thus, we must find a third party to look at an amazon page and comments and make a superior, third-party analysis that states: "Users made comments." Otherwise the section is well cited and relevant to the book's history, and if there are no objections by the end of the month I will restore it. 74.60.247.232 ( talk) 16:38, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
I'm starting a list of reviews of the book which I've found. Some may not be able to be used, but I figure it's better to list them here and not use them than to not know about a review which may be helpful. Feel free to add to the list. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WikiProject Japan! 19:52, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
I've done a lot of editing on Wikipedia, but mostly minor additions, changes and corrections, and anti-vandalism reversions. I haven't done a lot of real additions to articles as I have done here so I know it needs a lot of work. I'll try to add and revise over the next few days and will work on citations. All here is straight from the book, though not verbatim. Any other editors who want to contribute and help clean up would be appreciated. Caidh ( talk) 02:54, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
write a book in another world, sounds like the author is going to seclude himself in another world for writing the book... nice! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alcides ( talk • contribs) 17:51, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
Please aid me with finding the proper citations (I am listening to the audiobooks) JaredThornbridge ( talk) 09:49, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
I wrote a fairly lengthy section on the styles of combat we see in this book. I invite others to add to this section as they see fit, but please only correct any minor mistakes I made in the original posting (I listened to Way of Kings in audio book format so I might have spelled something wrong). I limited this section to types of combat we see that are fairly unique to WoK. For that matter "Styles of Combat" might not even be the best title for this section, but it will do until a better one comes along.– Maximumcool ( talk) 03:41, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
AWB alerted me to various references in this article having different names but the same content. I would guess that someone has copied references within the article without understanding how named references work. I have added HTML comments so that AWB/bots will not merge the references. Ideally it needs someone with a copy of the book to sort out which chapters are intended. Example:
<ref name="WoK-Chapter 68"> {{cite book|last=Sanderson|first=Brandon|title=The Way of Kings|year=2010|publisher=Tor |chapter=56<!--or perhaps 68 as the reference name suggests-->}} </ref>

This article sometimes uses "lighteye" as a singular and sometimes "lighteyes." In the book "lighteyes" is used both for the singular and plural, so should we change that?
