Talk:Holly Short

message: Was Root insulted that she was assigned to his group? - LDW
LDW: It's never really said. But from the text we can assume that he was insulted to begin with, but became very proud of Holly. Holly is the first female officer in the LEP, and many have tried to find a way to remover her. She is rash, and has problems with following orders. She is also the one they call when Artemis is up to no good.Black Leopard
root was never insulted that holly was in his group. he made her work harder because she had a larger reputation to maintain, being the first female officer. he didn't want her to set a bad example for future female officers.

message: If she is 1cm under 3 feet, she cannot be 1m tall, since 1m is about 39 inches, which is 3 inches (about 7½cm) over 3 feet.

thread_title:  Height? 

message: Described in first book chapter 3 as having a hooked nose, even though the picture of her in the graphic novel doesn't portray her with one, shouldn't that be included in the wiki description?
Actually, why don't we just quote part of the second paragraph from ch3 first book for part of the first paragraph of the wiki?

message: She's no longer a Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance officer, she's Section Eight now, but still under the guise of a Private Investigator. Therequiembellishere 19:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Position

message: In my recent cleanup of this article I used the word "tight-assed".  While this definitely gives you a great description of his attitude, I admit it is unencyclopedic and should therefore be changed.  Unfortunately I simply cannot think of a synonym, so I invite anyone to change this. -007bond 11:24, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Language

message: I know it already says that she is eighty, but on page 200(or in that area) in The Lost Colony, I think, she says that she is a captain in her eighties. Is that a bit more reliable than the Arctic Incident information, or not? 66.223.145.194 (talk) 22:00, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Age

message: Right now, the article is more like the fan wiki article than an encyclopedia article. I think Holly Short may be notable, but the extensive plot summary should be cut down and out-of-universe information added from sources like the following:
* "The Fairy Race: Artemis Down, Gender, and Racial Hierarchies"
* Gendered Discourses and Actor Representation in Eoin Colfer’s Artemis Fowl Series: A Corpus-Based Study
* Artemis Fowl: Posthumanism For Teens
* The Posthuman Child as a Genderless Ideal
* "Who's Afraid of the Bad Little Fowl?"
* "Just a fairy, his wits, and maybe a touch of magic: Magic, technology, and self-reliance in contempoary fantasy fiction
I only glanced over these and saw some parts that seemed to touch on Holly as a character in an interesting way, so they may not all end up being relevant, but I suggest them as starting points for the next person to look at this article. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:15, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
