Citations[edit]

I'm not entirely sure what sort of citation would be required for the reference to Bored of the Rings beyond the book itself; is this really the sort of thing that requires additional documentation? --BRPierce (talk) 16:24, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I put it there because I am not entirely sure if that was the book used in the novel. What page number does it say it was that book (I have the paperback version)? I'll check it when I get home. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 16:28, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely certain that the title is ever directly mentioned, but the book is thoroughly described and quoted. Characters from the book are mentioned by name. I realize we want to eschew original research, but I really don't think there can be any question as to which book it is. However, if others disagree, I will of course defer to the consensus. --BRPierce (talk) 16:38, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I remember the section you mention, where Mati is telling Rudi the names of the characters, but I don't remember where it said that book is the one used for the secret code. Is it in that same scene? I thought originally it was a children's book that was being used, hence why Rudi had it on him near the end. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 16:43, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I was able to get my hands on a copy of the book and you are correct it is the book used for the code. I also found a source so that should prevent other editors from deleting it. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 17:13, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for locating the reference--much appreciated! --BRPierce (talk) 17:41, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
