Talk:The Saga of Seven Suns

message: For such an enourmous universe, I believe this page should have sections remoed and pages created seperately but linked for certain elements. An example would be a seperate page for races, characters or individual books. User:Tom walker, 17:51 GMT 11 July 2006
I agree, but first we need to expand the main page Superstarwarsfan 21:57, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that the book presentation should rewritten. The reason is that they sound like book's backcover text. The style should be wikipedian but with one's own words.--Hannu 15:20, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it's much worse than that -- these are the back-cover texts. At least the description of the first book is, I only have that one available to compare right now. Some Google searches suggest that the others are likewise taken wholesale from promotional sources. That's not just unencyclopedic, it's also a copyright violation. I'm going to do a massive prune-job on that text to hopefully avoid worse. Bryan Derksen (talk) 07:30, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Pretty amazing series to be sure, lot's of twists and turns. Pretty good explanations of technology, although the stardrive explanation, leaves a bit to be desired. Overall a very good series.--Onesys 20:05, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I edited slightly the opening line of the section on the Klikiss as it has now been revealed that they still exist.  ~Ben~
Can someone put a spoiler warning on this page? I did not know the Klikkis still exist. (Tho I always wondered) Superstarwarsfan 16:03, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this article be called The Saga of Seven Suns? That's what the book is called.
Just check this: common naming convention
hm strange according to the publisher it will be out july 2007 http://www.simonsays.com/content/book.cfm?tab=65&pid=578870 at least in the UK
Because of troubles with the US publisher the USA SoSS6 was delayed to December but the UK one is still in July. Can't remember where I read that, either a Star Wars forum or KJA's website.
Never mind naming convention, the title of the book series as written on the front and sides of all of them is the saga of seven suns - therefore that is what the article really should be called, as per The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Tom walker 08:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: I think that maybe there should be a page dedicated to the ships of each race in the book eg: Warliners, Juggernauts, Mantas, Sky Mines etc. The names of the most of the ships can be mentioned with who owns them. It could discuss weapons and technology of the ships with each race who created them. I could Help.--Grid Admiral 11:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

message: What edition are those images from?  They don't look like any of the editions I've ever seen here in the US which have small images (that don't match those shown here) on a mostly monochromatic background with different formatting for the text.
Those are the UK covers. Might be an idea to put the US ones next to them. Tom walker 18:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

message: arent there usually individual pages for all the books in a series? examples include harry potter, diskworld, and wheel of time. BlazeOfGlory15 10:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: personally i dont think this series needs individual pages for each book, especially since there are spin off pages like tech and planets and species etc. --AvatarIII 13:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

text: no i agree the book should have separate pages, how about a vote or something? if not ill just do it and you can all complane. Grid Admiral 03:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Go on then, if you really want to, do it, i just dont think each page will be particulalrly long. --AvatarIII 14:18, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Seriously, how "important" are these books to the genre at present and from a historical point of view? Do they enjoy anything near the popularity or notoriety of the Harry Potter books? Have anything like the intrinsic, lasting value of the diskworld ones, etc? Shouldn't relevance and notability be the real factors in whether each book deserves its own page here? (I'm no KJA fan and have only skimmed a small bit of the first book, but from what I can determine these books are fairly derivative and, typically, poorly written. IMO one page on the whole series is more than enough.) --SandChigger 17:01, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

text: ok i guess your right, i guess someone should just delete every page, and all that work. I feel every saga, especially this one that has potential to become a great work over time, so not many people have heard of it or read books at all, for the minority that do this is a great work, science fiction is dying out with all this fantacy crap in the world, with sci-fi we deal with problems with technology not magic or some other crap. And i guess i don't really have the time to place each book on its separate page but when i do i will. Grid Admiral 04:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I think the timeline should be expanded so that it isn't taken straight out of the book Superstarwarsfan 00:21, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there a better timeline on KJA's Wordfire website? In its current form, the timeline here is about as interesting (and relevant) as a selection from one of the "begat" chapters in Genesis. If there's nothing better available, it should probably be deleted. (Expanding it from the books on your own would no doubt constitute Original Research.) --SandChigger 17:08, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I've obviously been trying to improve this article lately, and have begun adding reviews. Besides those that were already cited, the easiest to find were Publisher's Weekly, and most of those have been positive. I do want to accurately reflect critical perception though, so if anyone comes across any reliable sources with either positive or negative comments about the individual books or the series, please provide links here and I will incorporate them into the article. Thanks! — TAnthonyTalk 22:23, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
