Thanks!

Thanks for helping out the Ranger's Apprentice page! I plan to try and also clean it up during summer and have made the plot section a bit better. If you have read Halt's Peril can you please write a better summary? Thanks! Derild4921 21:03, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Ok then. In Austraila its up to book nine but in America I've only been able to get the first eight. Again, thanks for your help! Derild4921 16:20, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Your opinion

Sorry for bothering you so much but since you're the only other person who is trying to improve Ranger's Apprentice, do you think all the character have to stay on the main article? We can just keep the recurring and main characters. What do you think? Derild4921☼ 14:28, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

The list looks fine, but we're going to need to clean it up. Also, you can make links shorter and replace the url with your own text by using brackets. For your link you can put [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mrflabulous/Sandbox Sandbox] making Sandbox. When not using links, you can also use the articles title such as Ranger's Apprentice. When using titles, use double brackets. For example, Ranger's Apprentice. To rename the title, use the bar above the enter key. This would look like this, [[Ranger's Apprentice|characters]] making characters. Maybe I'm underestimating you, but hope this helped!

Great! Glad to be able to help! Do you mind if sometimes I edit your Sandbox to help create the character sections? Thanks in advance! Derild4921☼ 21:58, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi again! I'm rewriting the Setting section in my Sandbox. Do you think it would be better to separate the different countries with a new section or just use separate paragraphs? Derild4921☼ 17:56, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Ok, so we need to add some references for the setting areas preferably from reviews, but if necessary we can cite the books. Besides this, can you try and find some reviews, themes and sales for the series? That would be the encyclopedic part of the article. Thanks for all the help! Derild4921☼ 23:50, 23 June 2010 (UTC)'

I found some reviews on Google just by typing Ranger's Apprentice reviews and themes by typing Ranger's Apprentice themes. I would suggest using Accessmylibrary.com for reviews, it has access to a lot of reviews, but you need a library card, I have one and found a bunch. When I can use my laptop, I'll get it up.Derild4921☼ 13:43, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I found a really good source with and interview withe John Flangan! It has answers on his inspiration, themes and even reviews! link or I copied the important parts into here. Derild4921☼ 18:22, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

That's ok, I felt the same way when I first started too! The hard way to cite is to fo it manually, but if you go to My Preferences/Gadgets/Editing gadgets and check off redTools, it's really easy to cite things! When editing an article, just look for the Insert Citation text above the article text box. It will give you different types of citing and select one and complete whatever info you have. You can first test it out in the Sandbox or your own sandbox if you want. I'll add some info needing citations by my self and you can help whenever you feel comfortable!
