Talk:Ender Wiggin

message: I removed the following sentences from the article: "
Ender is essentially a religious, quasi-Messianic character, and this quality is developed substantially in the sequels to Ender's Game. Moreover he is a Messiah who is manipulated by the military complex for the execution of their militaristic intentions. "
:There is some substantiation to that, though. Especially since as Speaker of the Dead he has some literal religious significance, but just in the Xenocide he was considered to have saved mankind. --Kizor 14:31, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Substantiation or not, that would definitely go under the category of "original research" and thus outside the guidelines of Wikipedia. Unless, of course, that contributor cited a source for that assertion. Zaklog 05:06, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Cameo Apperance

message: Isn't the current formation of the article missing a big part of the story - how Ender leaves Earth/Command School and arrives on Lusitania? In it's current form, the article is complete incomprehensible. morphax 06:15, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is ordered in the chronology of the book releases and not Ender's actual chronology. I wouldn't describe it as "incomprehensible," but those completely unfamiliar with the books may find it confusing at first.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wthannah (talk • contribs) 20:17, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Missing from the timeline

message: Shouldn't this article contain a nice big spoiler alert at the top?  I came to this page to see if I could find a teaser or something which I could send to a friend, in order to encourage him to read Ender's Game, and instead found spoilers for all of the books.  Luckily I had read them already, but had I pointed him here without checking first, the results could have been disastrous (relatively speaking).

thread_title:  Spoiler Alert? 

message: I removed this section, because it is clearly talking about any one of the Shadow series books. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 18:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It could have been about Shadows in Flight, which probably should be mentioned here. -Chunky Rice 19:29, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I kind of think it's best not to speculate in articles.  You know, original research and all?  If we can find another source that makes that speculation, fine.  Otherwise, it's just original research. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 23:10, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why would it be speculation to include a brief mention about Shadows in Flight or Ender in Exlie? -Chunky Rice 00:08, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Unnamed fifth book

message: I don't know if anyone ever noticed, but in most, if not all, of the Shadow books, maybe even one of the later books in the Ender Quartet, if my memory serves, it says that Peter is the one that made it so that Ender could not have come back to Earth, even though in Ender's Game Valentine explains why she made it so and asked Ender to decide whether she hates him or not.  Should this lapse be pointed out, or should it be changed to say Peter in the article, as later stories user it and it seems somewhat more important to their story.24.72.73.240 (talk) 23:08, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Peter or Valentine

message: I didn't see any mention of Stilson and Bonzo in the synopsis of Ender's Game. Shouldn't they be in there? 71.145.166.101 (talk) 21:54, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Stilson and Bonzo

message: In regards to the Ender's Game plot analysis/description, several things seemed incorrect.  The first is a somewhat minor issue, but for Valentine's description I think she was referred to as too "passive" as opposed to "weak".  While the differentiation may be minor, I think that word choice is important to pay attention to...
Secondly, the government didn't decide to "create" Ender, they merely allowed his parents not to be punished having a third child.  His parents stated that they would most likely have had another child regardless, but it worked out nicely that they weren't punished for having Ender.
While Ender certainly was a gifted child, along with his other siblings, the thing that set him apart was his ability to be both sympathetic and yet at the same time ruthless. at least in action.  For example, after he pretty much destroys his current enemy (Stilson, Bonzo, the buggers), he always experiences moments of regret once he's had time to really think about the events.  I'll clarify further and cite page references once I find the relevant passages.
In reference to the "misunderstanding/miscommunication" between the buggers and humanity, I think it might be relevant to clarify that it wasn't so much the actual conflict between them that the buggers regretted, but that each human being is sentient as opposed to the bugger drones that follow their queen's directives.  As far as the buggers were concerned, they were just shutting down drones, not actual "hives".
Did anyone else feel like there's just a lot of inaccurate information in these plot summaries?--Realitychecksme (talk) 07:18, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. A plot summary does not need to follow every character nor does it need to devulge more than is necessary. --Buster7 (talk) 11:27, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi, I haven't worked on character pages at all but I'm interested in this one. There is quite a bit of information from the books and not a lot from the (considerable) analysis of his character. Is there a good page on a book character I could reference for what a good page would look like? Thanks, Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:36, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
