Yeah, this is bizarre.  These are not the stories I read as a kid...
So then, edit it! WP:SOFIXIT
As a fan of the first three (and a saddo who has just bought the "lost" final two), I have to say that that is the same book, but very badly explained.--The Wizard of Magicland 19:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If these are simply poorly written or overly wordy, please trim them. if they are factually inaccurate, rewrite or just substitute the short summaries from the publisher, rewording to avoid copyvio. i trimmed one, but my eyes are glazing over. the pain, the pain.

thread_title:  Same story? 

message: Should the character be referred to as Little Bear or Little Bull? It switches back and forth currently, which is hard to read. --OGoncho (talk) 21:26, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on which editions you read, the Avon Camelot paperbacks from the 1990s say Little Bear while, the hardcover ones from the 1990s say Little Bull. Now, I noticed all the new editions seems to say Little Bull in them. This is confusion! 142.166.203.227 (talk) 03:02, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

text: The names for this article at least have traditionally been Little Bear/Bright Stars. This matches the oldest versions of the book I have found online. If reliable sources can be found which indicate that it was originally Little Bull, feel free to change it, but please cite some reliable sources for the name and name change.

text: I agree that that seems likely, but it's not 100%, and when trying to track it down I came across some british versions which use Little Bear, so I'm fine if you want to change the current usage to be Little Bull/Twin Stars and saying that some editions use Little Bear/Bright Stars if you want to cite the audiobook (like for the first instance of their names), but I don't think we can say for certain that it was originally Little Bull without someone tracking down an actual first edition (or asking the author, which I haven't bothered with yet).

thread_title:  Little Bear or Little Bull? 

message: ive added some better structure, more info in lead, infobox, and will do more. (whups, i have a life, gotta go). i really think the plot summaries are too long. i will fix the language where necessary, may trim some of the content, would like to trim back more, but i will wait for feedback before severely trimming. its a philosophical thing, as i feel that extensive plot summaries are a violation of the spirit of copyright. i prefer shorter ones, esp. for works that are not part of the canon of literature.(however broadly one defines that)Mercurywoodrose (talk) 16:54, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
