Irrelevant wikilinks[edit]

Please don't put links to articles that don't have anything to do with a book's title except for the word. That is, dont put "Sorceress" in [[]] unless this leads to an article about the book. There is no use clicking on the link and being led to an article about ancient sorceresses or clicking on "Goliath" an getting to informatian about the biblical giant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.135.89.219 (talk) 21:09, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Major editing[edit]

This page needs to be seriously altered: most of its content is seriously POV, and lists of novel synopses (let alone teasers!) are inappropriate content for an encyclopedia. I suggest that anyone who edits this page should try to add some content that conforms to some of the suggestions put forth by Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography, because when the unsuitable content is removed, there will be little left of this page. Cheers. Feeeshboy 23:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right. Also, there is no reason to plan separate articles on every single book of a writer of popular fiction. BB — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.217.0.139 (talk) 21:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I really can't believe what's happening with this article. Apparently the author or a good friend of his keeps posting stuff applauding Mr. Alten's books and mumbling about films that have never been made. In most cases there are no sources whatsoever, and sometimes (like now) these sources are less than reputable. Okay, there used to be one (1) interview from a normal newspaper. If there are reliable sources, please include them (for instance about the 9000 teachers that have signed up for Mr. Alten's program). If not, this stuff should be deleted. --Bernardoni (talk) 20:17, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE stop listing books that haven't appeared yet! This is not an article about Mr. Alten's plans but about things he's actually written. Also, no source is given for the Domain movie plan. Please add one, or I will remove that part. --Bernardoni (talk) 23:16, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
