Rhetorical Analysis and Editing description

In going over the article The Raven Cycle, some strengths I found were that the lead section is clear and concise, giving an idea of the article without being too detailed lengthy. The overall coverage of the article was neutral; none of the language used was biased one way or another. Weakness in the article include an imbalance in the lengths of each section; the characters each have varying lengths of descriptions, some barely having a sentence others having full blown paragraphs. The plot is extremely lengthy and only focuses on the first book in the series, not giving any mention to the other books that complete the plot lines. The references are very short and I believe they would be considered primary sources because the two existing sources are the books within the series themselves. The article was started on April 26 in 2015 by the user SparkyDill128, who worked on it for only that day. In the early stages, the article had the same sections, excluding the references section, but it varied slightly. The plot for the first two books was thoroughly recounted, whereas the third and fourth books were mentioned but not described. The characters was a very simple bullet point list that lacked two of the characters now on the list. The early page was also missing the book cover and the information found in the top right hand corner of the article. Usernames that frequently reappear in the history include the following: Shexoxox; Cluebot; Magioladitis; HenriettaLewis; RonanParrish; Lavendersgreen; Kristafeather; and 130.126.25.162. These users added material pretty regularly over the course of two years, with the most recent revision, aside from my edits, having been made March 21, 2017 by user 109.150.231.226. The talk page only has a conversation about changing the heading from The Raven Cycle Series to the Raven Cycle. It was a fairly short conversation and the discussion seems kind enough. I edited the plot summary so that it included more of the books, but I couldn't add the fourth book because I haven't finished it yet. I added some major characters that were missing in the character list as well as a list of the minor characters that appear throughout the series. I added a section for the setting. I also changed the character descriptions as they were taken word for word from a separate website. Rkennedy20 (talk) 22:59, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Possible Topics

• These Broken Stars (book)
• Nimona (graphic novel)
• Walk off the Earth (band)
• Every Soul A Star (book)
• Beautiful Creatures (books)
• Beautiful Creatures (movie)
• Tiger's Curse (book)
• Relient K (band)
• Computer Games (band)
• Kiki's Delivery Service (movie)
• Jack and Dean of All Trades
• No Man's Sky (videogame)
• Flight Rising (website)
• GISHWHES
• The Other Sister (movie)

Out of the options above, it'd be better to go with one of the two book series. Both of the respective authors have pages on Wikipedia themselves, but the series don't. I think that Tiger's Curse would be more notable as it includes different aspects of Indian culture. "These Broken Stars" is another viable option, but it's more typical YA literature than "Tiger's Curse" in some ways.

Other things to research in contention with either book could be the respective authors themselves, as well as the production company, and the series as both are the first book in their respective series.

Other Wikipedia pages that could be linked to for "Tiger's Curse" specifically are the author, the different aspects of Indian culture, tigers, some of the settings, and thiings like that.
