Talk:Eragon (character)

message: I had to edit the entire thing. Come on guys, don't any of you like Eragon???? I had to completely edit Eragon, Eldest and now this.--Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 3 July 2005 12:02 (UTC)
I had to edit this entire thing again, because there were some truly APPALLING spelling mistakes in the Personality section. For God's sake, if you intend to edit the Wikipedia, please make sure that you've been to middle school at least, whoever added those terrible sentences. -- Emmaking, July 5th 2006
Well, I don't know anyone who's in love with Eragon...I'm in love with Murtagh and a lot of people are too - The person without an account

thread_title:  Edit 

message: Everyone: on this page, on all the characters' pages and on other pages related to the Eragon movie, I think we could do with some pictures of the characters, movie posters, etc. I know that the Eragon Page on canmag.com www.canmag.com has some pictures of characters, as well as one large picture featuring many main characters. Also, a picture of Saphira from the film would be nice, if you can find one. I'm sure these pictures are readily available through Google Image Search and the like. The reason I'm not adding these pictures myself is because, well, I'm not very computer-apt. I am lost when it comes to code. So I'm sure someone much more computer and code - literate can add these and greatly improve the quality of these pages. Thank you. Demosthenes 1 22:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pictures? 

message: Does the infobox refer to "house" as family name or the building? I don't understand why his house (as in the building) is important.--Spyderchan 01:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about that. Now that I think about it, it's on the Arya and Murtagh pages too, so I'll just change it to "house of morzan."--Spyderchan 03:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

text: No... it's "house" as in family name. You'll see it in various articles regarding people and families. For example, the House of Windsor is the family which the British Royal Family is in (Windsor castle is something different). UnaLaguna 14:54, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "House" 

message: Personality generally refers to how a person acts, thinks, and feels, not thier physical strenghts and abilities. This section, however, especially under the "Strengths" subcategory, also lists non-personality charachteristics such as Eragon's ability to use magic and his skills as a swordsman. Although it does seem like both personality and non-personality charachteristics could fit in one section, it would need a more apt title. Perhaps something like "Traits and Abilities"? --Queenrani 03:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Personality 

message: Anyone actually know how tall Eragon is meant to be?
I get the impression it's under 6 feet as it mentions the ceilings were 'low' in the Boer Mountains and they are said to be 6 feet. Thus I presume Eragon is slightly under - but is it ever mentioned?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.193.181.228 (talk) 20:00, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Appearance 

message: Should Eragon's role in 'Eragon' be covered before his role in 'Eldest'?
Yes, I think it should. I don't why they were put in that order in the first place... It appears that when first added, the Eldest section was second, then later for some reason the Eragon section was delted entirely, and then readded in a different place. I'll fix it. --Queenrani 01:04, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reorder Sections 

message: Why should there be links to small websites that have almost no userbase and least of all any content. There is so many inrelevant links that it makes the bottom of the page ugly and unreadable. The websites that should be there are the ones that are listed on the officials books website or http://alagaesia.com/activities_links.htm, unless that website can provide relevant information.--louispq 7:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Role's 

message: "In Eragon, he acts like a shallow, selfish and angry teenager, which is natural and quite understandable, seeing as he is a teenager throughout the trilogy."
This sentence bothers me for 2 reasons: One, because it's very harsh, and Two, because I don't find any reference at all to Eragon behaving so in the book.
I completely agree, I might be able to tweak it a bit to make it sound nicer. Arya 16:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  A little too harsh? 

message: Do we even need a "Posessions" section? It seems unnecessary, and is long and confused by the presence of former possesions (ie Cadoc and Zarroc) and non-possesions (Saphira is not OWNED, she is his companion). --Queenrani 03:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possesions 

message: Somebody deleted the entire section. I reverted the edit, as no justification for the edit was made.
It's to one-sided. It says, "Eragon will most likely end up with Arya", which is speculation. It's only proof is the dream, and in that dream you don't know who the people are, and the only reason given for one to be Arya, is the SPECULATION, that Arya is the next rider. This section should be taken off until an official relationship is announced.
I think that while the section is biased, it is still preferable to a non-encyclopedic, first-person statement saying that the section that isn't there is biased. The article should be reverted to its full length, and be tagged as "neutrality disputed" until it is cleaned up. --Queenrani 17:10, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed the criticism, based on the argument that anti-shurtugal.com is not a reliable source. (unfortunately). I've incorporate the info from the NY times in the character overview.--Spiderchan 02:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism 

message: I've been cleaning that up A LOT. Some one went in and just made some frighting spelling mistakes and decided to quote entire lines in links. They also messed up the entire section in terms of time relvencies. Please save me and others work (and time!} and try to write more accuratly. PLEASE! Arya 23:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  'Role In Eldest' Section 

message: I'm serious about the spoilers! Major plot point of Eldest revealed!
Err, I just want to know a few things, regarding what constitutes a 'Title':
* Did the Urgals give him a title?
* Is 'Son of Morzan' a title, or is that just a fact?
* He was adopted into Hrothgar's clan - would that count as a title?
Thanks, and sorry if these are stupid questions. 169.229.121.94 02:56, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Eragon.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

thread_title:  Edited 

message: In the first book it is mentioned that Eragon shares his name with the first Rider, and that it means 'power' in the Ancient Language. Should the nature of his name not be included somewhere in the article? Possibly in the 'Etymology' section?

thread_title:  The 'name of power'? 

message: I've removed the comparison sections for The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. The cited sources are reviews for the movie, not the books. This article is about the character from the novels, not the character from the movie. The movie differs so vastly from the books that a connection between the two can not be made without including original research, which is inappropriate for Wikipedia. --132 17:37, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else think that the thing about Elva's blessing being messed up doesn't belong in the eragon(book) synopsis part? because once you get down to "North to Ellesmera" it's kinda repetitive. Plus, you don't know that in Eragon. You find out in Eldest. I'm asking because I'd rather not get yelled at by someone if I change it myself. Thanks Doin' Huh 3.5 19:15, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Would it be worth adding Orik as a Foster brother?
