Talk:Dragons of Autumn Twilight

message: If this article is to stay, it should be renamed to Dragons of Autumn Twilight. However, I don't really think we should add such extensive information. The article should be shortened and appended to a new Chronicles Trilogy article. -- ReyBrujo 20:39, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Renaming?

message: This is crazy! Why reveal that the old man is Paladine, and that Kitiara has become a Dragon Highlord? There's no good reason for doing that. Also there should be a spoiler warning (WikiPedia has some kind of template or function for this, I believe). Finally, an article about a book ought to consist of more than just a summary of the plot. A good place to start would be the effect that the book had on the surrounding world. --Peter Knutsen 02:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Basically, the full book is laid here. I don't agree with that, if you go to the Lord of the Rings book, you don't find the whole plot, just the most important topics. I am still waiting for some more experienced editors to give opinions whether this article should be (extremely) shortened or not. -- ReyBrujo 03:07, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Why massive spoilers?

message: I can't help but notice this entry is really only a massive summary of the book's story, with virtually no other information. Surely there are other things that can be mentioned, such as publication history, the fact that there exists a book on tape recording, perhaps even pictures of the different covers? Are there any sales figures which could be included, or literary reviews? Elijya 20:25, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My idea is that the article should be more similar to The Hobbit or The Silmarillion, where what "surrounds" the book (creation, reasons, release, overcome, etc) is more important than the contents of the book. -- ReyBrujo 20:33, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Public reception of the book (I believe it has sold very well), its cultural impact (if any), and any critical comments/criticism directed against it (e.g. that "it is derivative of Tolkien", although I don't personally think so) is all useful content for a Wikipedia article on a book. As for the very detailed plot summary, that should be moved to a seperate article, and the main article's plot summary shortened to 2 long, 3 medium length or 4 short paragraphs of text. --Peter Knutsen 09:42, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Another piece of information that could be included, in order to make it into a well-rounded Wikipedia article instead of just a mile-long plot summary, is how the novel was actually written, e.g. under what circumstances, and also what it was that provided the inspiration for the novel, and maybe a bit about how the setting was created (since it is my understanding that the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy was the first Dragonlance fiction ever published). I'll also add a note to the talk pages for the other two books in the trilogy, referring people to this page. --Peter Knutsen 08:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: More Information?

message: Was there a particular reason for the change in the novel cover? Grey Shadow 06:02, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ugh, it is ugly indeed. A slightly bigger one won't bring any problem, just don't abuse (in example, if the image has a side bigger than 600px, I usually request a smaller one). -- ReyBrujo 22:45, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: An original edition cover would be better. That is what the NovelsWikiProject attempts to use in the infobox when avaliable. Grey Shadow 22:51, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

text: I've uploaded an image of the first edition cover at 200px low res size that is used by the WikiNovelProject. Grey Shadow 09:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Make sure you remember to tag the book covers with Category:Dragonlance covers. It makes it so that I don't have to check all the images and make sure they're tagged properly. Ddcc 21:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Novel cover change? 

message: I'm gonna look over the fields in the WikiProject Novels template thingy, and figure out what I can fill in, then discuss what needs to be filled in.  One thing though, that I was thinking about, was the meaning of the title... Dragons is probably a reference to the dragons coming, Autumn is the season the book occurs, but Twilight.... I believe its Twlight at the end of the book, at the celebration, but I'm not sure.  So, discuss that much here and we'll figure out the rest. DoomsDay349 17:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updating 

message: From I can gather, much of the core novels' titles are the titles of their respective section in Astinus's Chronicles.  In Test of the Twins it makes a reference to the events of that book being contained in Astinus's books under the same title, and it Second Generation it does the sam efor Dragons of Winter Night.  Therefore, it is safe to say that is where at least the first six titles come from. DoomsDay349 02:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Title Meaning

message: I'm working on this page, however to avoid disruption I'll be doing a rough draft at my sandbox.  When it's ready, I'll move it here and we can work on it more. DoomsDay349 05:05, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Notice: I've moved some of the sections here, I've been advised to move it section by section.  I need some help on the explanation of title, as some may find what is posted there as original research.  DoomsDay349 01:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: I'm Working On It

message: Major Themes is gonna be a real hard subject to do abiding by the rules of original research.  Obviously, we can't find our own themes, even though you could probably glean a few (I can vaquely think of a few, but I'd have to re-read, or at least skim it).  I'll run an internet search, try to find something.  Someone with access to the Annotated Chronicles might be able to find something. DoomsDay349 01:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Goldmoon#Chronicles trilogy, the last paragraph. That is why I picked Goldmoon as my first overhaul :-) -- ReyBrujo 02:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Most excellent.  Thanks. DoomsDay349 23:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK I cant figure it out.  You notice that in the references, the arrow that goes to the number is above the reference, when it should be beside.  I can't fix it; can someone else? DoomsDay349 23:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major Themes 

message: The remaining fields are:
==Allusions/references to other works==
~description how this novel mentions other works or their characters~
==Literary significance & criticism==
~description based on the work of literature critics and commentators over 
the years, give citations~
==Allusions/references from other works==
~description of works that mention this novel or its characters, if applicable~
==Allusions/references to actual history, geography and current science==
~description how this novel mentions other incidents and subject matter outside 
the world of literature and criticism~
==Awards and nominations==
~references to and details of awards and nominations, if applicable~
==Trivia==
~any ephemeral infomation - othen called trivia~
If you can fill in any of these fields, please do.  Literary Significance & Criticism and Awards and Nominations and Trivia should be focused on, I think.  Any allusions can also be looked for, but they are, IMO, less important.  Ill try a google search. DoomsDay349 00:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Filling in the other fields 

message: I'm passing this article, easily. It's great! My $0.02: the "article title" section could be easily folded into the intro as a para, I really don't think it deserves it's own section. I also found the character listing a little tedious, this might be better served in a separate article that covers the entire series of books (which I assume exists). Anyway, enjoy! Maury 23:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks a lot!  I've been waiting the review eagerly.  I'll take your suggestions into effect, and will probably have it peer reviewed for a future FA.  Thank you! DoomsDay349 23:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Passed, minor suggestions

message: I think the world needs a little explanation. I know when you are reading the books there is an amount of fun to discovering the world and the fantasy that supports it but as an encyclopedic article I think it detracts not knowing what is going on exactly. Something along the lines of:SettingThe novels take place on the fantasy world of Krynn, created specifically for the gameplay. The world once worshiped the True Gods, a pantheon unique to the Dragonlance saga, but has come to believe the True Gods abandon the world and those in it. The world is just starting to recover from the loss of the True Gods (anybody got a timeline for this?). The main focus of the novels is the continent Ansalon and the characters of Tanis, Flint, Strum, Caramon, Raistlin, and Tasselhoff.What say yee? Padillah (talk) 20:24, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's something that can be split out of what we currently have, or extrapolated further from available sourced, then I say - absolutely! 204.153.84.10 (talk) 20:39, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
