Note from Polycarp: I'm using the ending from the 1994 Everyman's Library edition, introduced by Frank Kermode. Guy has two chidren by his second wife. It may well be that this is the edtion which will survive.

Is the present tense not better for describing the plot? Is Padfield Waugh's only American character? What about The Loved One? Johnrayjr

[edit] Seperate Articles

Shouldn't the individule books get thier own articles? Currently "Men at Arms" takes you to the Terry Prachet novel without it even mentioning the Waugh book. Snowboardpunk

Ideally - but someone needs to write the material to justify such a development whichi in principle is the way to go. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 16:49, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Annoying feature

I find it really annoying that the plot summary doesn't explain what happens in the three novels of the trilogy: we're given an unbroken summary which seems to picture a single book. This article might work a lot better if it treated the three parts of the trilogy under separate sections or chapters. Tha way we wouldn't probably need three separate articles. The Pratchett problem mentioned above might be solved by a disambiguation page.--213.140.21.227 (talk) 16:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
