Talk:Magic Tree House

message: I've created a table for the first 28 book series. This is more time-consuming than I thought. :) I'll check back to see if anyone converts the other series. Thanks. --EarthPerson 23:27, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The table 

message: This page would be more useful if it contained some independent criticism of the series. As it is, it's just a list of the book titles with a short synopsis but nothing about why someone should care. I've tagged the page as unsourced. Ronnotel (talk) 04:45, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Needs Criticism Section

message: Currently the article has the list of publications up to year 2020 or so.  I cannot find any info regarding the upcomoing issues beyond 2009 at the official Random House site. And Google returned 0 results for many of the titles entered by IP users. I requested the source to back up their entries, but the tempghhfghfhgfhs are removed and the long list is still "maintained" by IP users 96.245.55.179 and 209.247.21.229. I am wondering the accuracy of the list.  Anyone who has the reliable information for future publications, please add to the article. Thanks.  --Chiew (talk) 19:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Reference/Citation Needed for future publications

message: Could anyone find an average word count for the books and/or an overall word count for all current books? Some people, (myself included) who are looking for that might come here for that answer. I could not find an answer anywhere. --KirbyManiac (talk) 22:44, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I know this is a very stale question, but it intrigued me.  I agree that this would be worthwhile information to add, but I'm unaware of any sources that reliably provide this sort of information.  WorldCat provides page counts, but not word counts; for example, the page count for Dinosaurs Before Dark is "68 p."  I found a blog entry that happened to have the word count for this book (misidentified as Dinosaurs at Dawn) as 4,740 words; but that's a one-off.  Not only is it, as a self-published blog, not a WP:RS, but it does not cover the series in general.  Any ideas for sources here? TJRC (talk) 15:59, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Word Count 

message: Did whoever wrote/edit the last couple of books in the Merlin Missions realize that this is Wikipedia? Sorry to sound really grouchy, but no more "Can Jack and Annie save the unicorn?" please... 74.46.30.192 (talk) 03:55, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gosh 

message: This article has long been a hoax-magnet for vandals adding spurious entries (or, as one editor rather elegantly put it, "unconfirmed bullshit").  I went through the list of alleged entries in the future, and added sources and corrections for the ones that I could verify, and deleted the others. ("The Deathly Godzilla""  Really?)  Going forward, please include sources for claimed future publications.  If you don't supply a source on a new entry it will be deleted. TJRC (talk) 21:47, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  More hoaxes 

message: We don't use "08/10/95" or "8/10/95". YYYY-MM-DD is acceptable in tables; so are 3-letter monthnames such as "Aug" and thus "Aug 10, 1995" or "Oct 8, 1995", which will display on two lines with some screen-widths. Perhaps it's possible to fix the width of column two so that dates always display on two lines.
The obvious place to save width is column three, now labeled "Type". There is no excuse for verbose "Types". Perhaps they should be so short as Spells, Riddles, Stories, Dog, with full series or arc names or prose descriptions below the table. Those in turn can be linked to the table with superscripts so that entries in column three are something like Spells, Riddles, and so on.

thread_title:  diffrent authors 

message: The repetition section of this article does not seem relevant to me. It is more concerned with the general principles of why repetition helps kids read than the primary focus of the article: the Magic Tree House series. I think this section could be deleted and the starting repetitive lines of each book could be added under the books section as a continued pattern.
