Talk:New Crobuzon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moved to Bas-Lag, where it is more appropriate. New Crobuzon should describe the city itself. Notcarlos 18:27, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "confluent" is the wrong word
In the climate section, "confluent" is an adjective, not a verb. "Flow together" would be the literal meaning of the Latin term, but that would prevent linking to "confluent."
- Switched over to "whose confluence forms" etc. Still a wiki amateur, so I'm not sure if there's a more efficient way to structure the link without having "(geography)" show up in the article, but this works, right? 21:56, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Echonull
[edit] "The Ribs" errata
Will check tonight, but I believe "The Ribs" is a feature of Bonetown.
The Ribs have been explored archaeologically, but nothing was found outside of the spine (no head no hips etc.) {I always liked the subtle implication there that maybe something even bigger killed it.}
Excavation has not ended in disaster. Developing real-estate within the Ribs has discontinued due to "tools breaking" and "one two many accidents."
- Modified to suit. 19:32, 26 April 2007 (UTC) (Echonull)
[edit] The Quillers
Not 100% sure (havent got the book in front of me) but arn't the New Quillers in IC actually a militant wing of the Three Quills (similar to the SA or the 'Red Front Fighters' League' in Weimar Germany) rather than "a splinter group"?
[edit] Add map from Perdido?
There's a map of the city in Perdido Street Station, which would seem to be mighty relevant to the article. Would it be copyright infringement to include it? 22:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Echonull
[edit] Sufferage
I added a sentence to the sufferage entry about automatic qualifications, as the sufferage entry did not mention that. In PSS there's talk of whether or not Derkhan automatically qualifies for the vote, which she does not. Hactarcomp 17:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
