Talk:List of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks/Archive 1

message: As some might have noticed, I've (very slightly) renamed the page.  "Gamebook" is one word! ;-)
I've made the appropriate edits in the individual gamebook articles and elsewhere.  I've also tried to remove the obsolete wikilinks to Fighting Fantasy Game Books, so as to avoid redirects. —WebDrake 12:20, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Renaming 

message: Following some discussion on Talk:Fighting Fantasy, I suggest we use this page to note gamebook articles that need rewriting for reasons of style, content or whatever.
I suggest we use the following mechanism: add a paragraph to the "Requested revisions" subsection below, of the form,
:Title (with wikilink). This is what's wrong with the article. —Signature.
If you or anyone else edit the article in question and make the revisions, then edit the request by crossing it out (not deleting it) and noting what you've done.
Here's an example:
:Legend of the Shadow Warriors. The article doesn't exist! —WebDrake, some time ago.
::Now it does! —WebDrake, not long after.
So, here goes ... —WebDrake 12:35, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks good, I've thrown a few in as well.  I think that we should nominate one of the entries as an example of a great entry that the others should be modelled on.  I'd like to suggest Moonrunner, unless anyone else can think of a better one. Euchrid 15:31, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm flattered by your suggestion. :-)  Re your comments on Masks of Mayhem below, I am also reluctant to give away "twist" endings or detailed aspects of the plot that are only revealed through successful play.  In these cases hints will do much better. —WebDrake 11:25, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Further to the above, I note you are using a "Story" heading in articles.  I don't really think this is necessary or appropriate since what follows the intro may contain both plot details and details of unusual mechanics etc.  The articles are so brief that we don't really need to split them up into sections in this way. —WebDrake 18:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Done, including standardising the first paragraph and tweaking the rest so tthat they flow better Euchrid 03:02, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I've sorted out all the problems that I had with this article, though others are of course free to keep on tweaking Euchrid 02:43, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Taken care of Euchrid 06:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Done, though the story could use some more detail Euchrid 09:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Done Euchrid 15:44, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Done the title. —WebDrake 11:40, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Just checking because it's a large change - does anyone object to removing the lists? Euchrid 16:01, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suggest keeping the info (or most of it) but changing the style. —WebDrake 16:10, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, done Euchrid 16:39, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Done, although I forgot to add the licensing when I uploaded the image, so it may be deleted. Battle Ape 05:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Requested revisions

message: Ah, what a great glow of nostalgia.  And the smell of defeat.  I don't think I completed one of the 10 or so I had - despite spending time drawing maps. --bodnotbod 03:23, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)
Thanks to everyone who has added entries on gamebooks.  Keep up the good work! Euchrid 17:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
