[edit] List of Characters From The Saga Of Darren Shan‎

Okay, three things:

  1. Wikipedia is the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Just because you started an article does not mean that it is "your article". You cannot make changes just because you want to.
  2. I used to be head of Wikipedia:WikiProject Darren Shan. Then I stopped. Wanna know why? I recieved an e-mail from Darren Shan himself after posting about the Wikiproject on the messageboards asking that I stop the project because he doesn't want the spoilers from his books to be on Wikipedia. After this, to respect his wishes, I tried to take down a lot of the spoilers on the Darren Shan pages.
  3. Being a jerk and posting angry messages with three exclamation points will get you nowhere in Wikipedia.

The spoilers add nothing to the article. All they do is disrespect the wishes of the author of the series. Also, the articles you linked to are not really necessary. For more information, look at Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). It basically says that you only should make pages for characters with large amounts of information known about them. Alas, Harkat does not qualify. I hope you understand now why I took off the spoilers. Because really, "Former hippie protester whose arms were bitten off." gives no less important information than "Former hippie protester whose arms were bitten off. Killled in the final book." The latter just contains an unnecessary spoiler.

All the best,

[edit] Re: Did Darren Say That?

Although yes, Harkat and Kurda were main characters in the series, there is probably not enough information about them to fill up an entire article. For Harkat, it would just be about his night terrors and who he used to be while Kurda's would just talk about his plan to bring the vampaneze into vampire mountain. That really isn't enough to merit a full article. -AtionSong 21:18, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
