Descriptions of the novels

[edit]

These are a bit long winded and superfluous, given there are separate pages for each novel. They'd be more appropriate if moved there. Cjs2111 (talk) 22:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Extreme bias in the section on TRF

[edit]

Lines like "the so called war on terrorism" (are we not supposed to call things what they are?) or "the USA connivance and incitements to continue the heinous course of the war" (Really? Who wrote this, Bin Laden himself?) and the best one of all: "the discriminatory and the holier-than-thou attitude of American towards the third world war has boiled the blood of the people and has raised them to fury and rebellion." That one doesn't even have anything to do with the novel directly. This is supposed to be Wikipedia--a source of factual information--not a Rage Against The Machine concert. Not to mention none of this belongs on the page about the author. Information specific to the novel should be put on that page. I'm deleting this entire bunch of garbage. It's beyond even fixing, something else just needs to be written that is NPOV and factual, not a bunch of radical propaganda. Nominahorn (talk) 01:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

References/accuracy

[edit]

Is there a source for “Due to his extremist and anti-white racial views, Hamid is banned from air travel in multiple countries.” 2600:1010:B124:13D7:4CBC:474:57BC:3C5F (talk) 16:04, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section:

  • Cite templates will be used where possible.
  • Tables may be used to organise short stories, poems and/or book reviews.
  • I prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, rather than "title case".
  • Links (either direct or indirect) to potentially unreliable or incomplete digitised copies and to booksellers may be removed.

This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 10:19, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
