# Talk:A Game of Thrones

Hey User:Shearonink – the refs being visibly unused is helpful to me because I'm working on the content. And swapping Garcia and Antonsson's names is not support by the physical book, where she is listed first. Thanks — ImaginesTigers (talk) 16:44, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

That change is supported by the Wikipedia article's title. - Shearonink (talk) 16:49, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
Hey ImaginesTigers  – I did not remove any refs or their content, they are still retained within the article's biblio/refs. - Shearonink (talk) 16:54, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

Hey folks. I'm almost finished work on the article and would quite like to nominate it for GA soon. I think I've covered everything major in scholarship, with one main entry left (power and ruling). This is likely to be the most challenging section because most of the academic analysis on that topic is weighted towards later entries (e.g., after the involvement of Stannis/Renly; when Daenerys becomes an actual queen). I'm going to spend some time today working out how to cover it but it's likely to be pretty tough. Open to feedback if anyone has any comments. — ImaginesTigers (talk) 10:26, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

I've reviewed the literature and I don't think it is possible to construct a section on power/rulers that isn't very disjoined. I think that it would be a great heading for the main series article. The primary scholars who consider the nature of power in the series make arguments that span across the entire season. If I tried to include it here, it would escape the article's scope.
Consider, for example, how Larrington (2020)'s contrast of how the Starks and Lannisters maintain control over their armies. Ned's power relies on historic oaths, renewed by "successive lords". Her analysis about the Lannisters, though, is largely devoted to book 2. Robb's style of control is close to democratic consultation and consensus gathering, but that analysis is from books 2–3.
I'm just not sure it's possible to cover this right now. I've nominated for a GA review and will hopefully get a reviewer who can advise on these. — ImaginesTigers (talk) 11:23, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
