message: there is no single mention in this article about darrens homosexuality. i find that offensive. he is known to be one of the greatest supporters of gay rights in ireland and should be paid hommage as such. all attempts to portrait his homosexuality as a negative trait is childish and retarded.

message: How would I go about adding book cover pictures to some of these articles? For instance, Cirque du Freak needs a picture of the book cover. But i'm unsure of what is allowed and what isn't because of copyright. - Cpudestroyer 23:54, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Andy. Here are some comments I posted to the project discussion page of this article after I assessed it:
I gave this a "Stub" classification because there is only a short biography, a list of books and some trivia. After finishing, I knew only a little more about this person than before I had started.
Some suggestions: Expand the bio, and please include inline citations for your information. As things stand, this article is not sourced at all.
Instead of a list of books, consider discussing the impact the books (each series) have had on the public and literary community. Also, to be complete, please include the publisher and ISBN number for the books that you feel must be listed. 
I also think this article might better be merged with the ones about this other series of books. 
he then put this
Forgot to add that the second paragraph in the lead would need to be deleted, since it doesn't reference anything from the body of the article. The lead should provide a concise summary of the article itself.

thread_title:  Improvements to make 

message: The name of this article is "Darren Shan", but Darren Shan is just his pen name. His real name is Darren O'Shaughnessy, so shouldn't that be the name for the article? I think that the article title should be changed and have "darren shan" just redirecet to this page. Leave a comment if you agree/disagree. Skittlesrgood4u 16:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: "He is also currently writing the Demonata series, which seems to be doing well."
This sentence is vague and unprofessional.

thread_title:  First Paragraph 

message: The logo on the newer covers on the Darren Shan Sage/Vampire Chronicles appears to be that of a stylised spider, with a skull embedded.  This would fit in with major lines in the plot, in much the same way that in the demonata series this is a wolf's head with chess pieces either side.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.217.252.91 (talk) 11:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Where does it say that the new four book series is about Larten Crepsley?  I've yet to see any proof of this.  I've emailed Darren Shan about it, but I'm not sure if he'll respond.  If he does this will be settled, but I'd still like to see some proof.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.106.215 (talk) 05:58, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

message: wheres the proof for 11. Demons Horns (book)(2012) and 12. Choas Theory (novel)(2013)? Im deleting them until a source is given to validate that he is writing more books in the series, which i doubt. S-m-r-t (talk) 12:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Demonata book 11 and 12 

message: I would say that his nationality is Anglo-Irish/English-Irish, as opposed to Irish, seeing as he was born and spent his first six years living in England. Plus he went to university in London and I have seen a video of him in which he speaks with an English Accent. Any thoughts? 92.27.203.153 (talk) 17:47, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well U2's the Edge is called Anglo-Irish on his article, despite having only lived in England for a year, so it would probably be a better description. 82.1.157.16 (talk) 22:44, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

message: If unreferenced info should be challenged and/or removed, when is it appropriate to start yanking things out of the article? The awards sections doesn't have a single reference. The "shortlisted" awards are especially questionable. Tripnoted (talk) 01:59, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Unreferenced

message: I just wanted to explain that the film section was tagged before the film was released.  Now that it has its own wikipedia article, I don't think we need the unsourced tag here.  There don't appear to be any contentious claims in that section anyway.  If anyone disagrees, feel free to replace the tag.  Also, while it may seem that I removed a reference, the  tag is meant for title articles only (not people). Hoof Hearted (talk) 20:36, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
