[edit] Requested Move

• Talk:Abhorsen — Abhorsen → Abhorsen (Book) – I'm trying to start a new article about the Ahborsen bloodline, and not just the book. — The Destroyer 04:59, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with ~~~~

You spelled Abhorsen wrong Nihiltres 16:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC) *Alternative - While I support your idea, I do not support it as it is currently proposed. It would be a good thing to have an article on the bloodlines within the series, but not a good thing to have seperate articles on each of the bloodlines, since there is not enough information contained within the books to create full distinct articles. A "bloodlines" article is one I support, but not individual ones! Individual ones can be used as redirects - we can put a link "This article is about the book. For the bloodline..." Thanks.

• I'd tend to agree with that. What do you think, Orannis? —Nightstallion (?) ^{Seen this already?} 08:25, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, after a further comment from Nihiltres (see his talk page), I guess that his idea sounds reasonable: to expand on and maybe reconstruct the Five Great Charters article to accommodate new information. I'll wait for a while and see if this option gets agreement from a few more people. Thanks again, Nihiltres, for the suggestion.

I'll remove this from WP:RM now, then. —Nightstallion (?) ^{Seen this already?} 07:23, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

how do you pronuce this title. A-B-H-O-R-S-E-N

its "abb-horse-in" - Abhorsen123

I say it Abb- horse - unn, otherwise its difficult to say Abhorsen-in-waiting. racooon

I say it "a-bor-sen" Orannis the Ninth Bright Shiner (talk) 04:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article intro

This article needs some restructuring at the top - I'm not sure exactly how to go about it, and am busy (when I finish extrawiki activities, I'm busy polishing off Shade's Children). My main issue is with spoilers - there are some prominent spoilers that are above the spoiler line: that Lirael is the Abhorsen-in-Waiting, and that she is also Sam's aunt are key spoilers that need to be addressed by restructuring the article. This article also needs a proper introduction - introducing the book as per Novels WikiProject standard. Sorry that I'm just leaving a complaint and not going to fix it myself - If I find time and it's not done, I'll do what I can. Nihiltres 15:21, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree. It ruined parts of the book for me. I can't edit it either, as I'm a novice and I haven't finished the book yet. Life is great...if you support Manchester United 16:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot summary

The plot summary could use a bit of a trimming for detail, but it isn't grossly overlong, so I've removed the {{plot}} tag. --TS 23:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot Intro

What happened ot the plot introduction, Lirael and Sabriel have it, why not abhorsen? --Orannis the Destroyer 22:37, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Merge

Please see this discussion, where there is a proposal to merge several Abhorsen-related articles. Comments are welcome. sbfw | talk 00:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
