[edit] Triffid variations

Should there be a seperate section on the triffid sub-species detailed in "The Night of the Triffids"? specifically the giant and aquatic versions. Maybe cover the development of the triffid abilites in the same book (echo-location). Also cover the eventual discovery of method of gaining immunity to the stings?

[edit] Image

Could somebody please check the second triffid image (the one with the four triffids), I'm not certain that I've tagged it correctly.

I created the image based on the BBC series, but does that make it an original image or a TV screen shot.

[edit] spelling

the puctuation and spelling is pretty poor - i will attempt a clean-up soon, but it would be good if the original author was to do this him/her self jpk 00:24, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

You've shot yourself in the foot. If this is your standard of English you have no future as a proofreader or copy editor. -Ashley Pomeroy 20:26, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Just as you have no future in the world of diplomacy. If you can't say something nice......

Just run it through a word proccessor. Given that half of the people editing Wikipedia are either non native English speakers or kids, it's not notably any worse than any other non acedemic wiki page.

[edit] Triffid description.

It seems that parts of the description of the physical traits of triffids - most conspicuously the description of the sting - have been taken straight from the BBC TV-series and not the novel. I feel it is the description from the book i.e. Wyndham's own vision, that should be used as the norm. The variations used in the adaptations of the novel as well as its sequel may then be included in a separate section or at least presented with the explanation that they deviate from the novel.
