# Talk:Ramandu's daughter

The "Emerald Witch" is better known as the Lady of the Green Kirtle.  Please see the discussion on the talk page there. Elphion (talk) 17:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, could someone post an image of Lilliandil from the new movie on this page?  She's one of the few characters to not have an image.  I would do it, but I don't know how.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JDJ39 (talk • contribs) 17:42, 5 July 2010 (UTC) 

Under the heading "The Silver Chair", a plot summary of that book is included which really has little to do with the fictional character biography of Ramandu's daughter since it is mainly about the rescue of her son. I suggest that the summary be deleted. Nikolaj1905 (talk) 05:58, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

I don't want to commit to reviewing the article right now, but some quick comments may be helpful:

"the daughter of the Duke" is ambiguous; do we have any links that could help?
I am expanded on this somewhat by adding the location and the link for it. Aoba47 (talk) 17:26, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
Devin Brown or Elizabeth Baird Brown? Elizabeth Baird Hardy? And I wonder if something more precise than "author" is possible?
Hardy has the descriptive phrase "a scholar of mythology", but let me know if more is needed there. I have added a better descriptive phrase in front of Devin Brown. Aoba47 (talk) 17:26, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
Sorry, I mean there's a bit of confusion about who said what, people's names, and the source. Maybe it's my problem, but could you have a close look and make sure your citations/names are right? Josh Milburn (talk) 17:48, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
I think a brief introduction to Aslan (he's a lion, he's a religious allegory, he's the kind of saviour of Narnia) might be useful at first mention, as several of the things said about Ramandu's daughter seem to assume some familiarity with who Aslan is.
That is a very good point! I have added the information on a footnote on the first mention of the character. I used a footnote to avoid breaking up the flow of the article if that makes any sense. Aoba47 (talk) 17:46, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
The rationale on File:Narnia01564890-1-.jpg could do with some work.
Thank you for catching this! I should have checked on this prior to putting it up for GAN. The image was already up prior to my expansion on the article, and I completely forgot to look into it further. I have hopefully addressed this. I have also chosen to upload a different image if that is okay with you. Let me know if you prefer the previous one. Aoba47 (talk) 17:54, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
I wonder if it's worth digging out the initial introduction/description of the character from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (which was always my favourite of the Narnia books, by the way!) to include as a blockquote?
Great idea! I have added the quote to the appropriate section. Aoba47 (talk) 18:06, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
You currently cite the Hilder source as an edited collection, but it looks like a journal- should it not be cited as such?
Thank you for catching this. I was not certain on how to cite journal articles, but I believe that I have corrected this. Aoba47 (talk) 18:10, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
Have you had a skim through the hits on Google Scholar? You may be able to eke out a little more analysis.
I had completely forgotten about Google Scholar so thank you for reminding me about it! Unfortunately, a lot of the sources have restricted access so I will try to see if I can access the journals and articles through my undergraduate and graduate alumni accounts.

Great topic! Josh Milburn (talk) 10:54, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the comments! I will get to them later today if that is okay with you. Aoba47 (talk) 16:07, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
@J Milburn: Thank you again for your comments. I believe that I have addressed a majority of them. I will definitely look around more in the near future to see if I can if find any further articles either through Google Scholar or through my alumni accounts from my undergraduate and graduate institutions to further expand the critical response and analysis portions of this. I really enjoyed working on this a lot, and it is actually inspiring me to work on more articles about literary characters in the future. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is also one of my favorites, but I would have to say that The Magician's Nephew is my absolute favorite out of the entire series.
