[edit] Improvement?

Does anyone want to contribute some time to help this article grow? For a popular series of novels, the article, as it was, was a real mess. I've tried to start from the beginning, taking some tips from the Harry Potter article. Not only is the main article clearly in need of some attention, the seperate novel articles (and the film one) are in some need of a clean-up. Hopefully someone will agree and this article with the others can be expanded and improved. -- Britishagent 10:25, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Alexriderlogo.jpg

Image:Alexriderlogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How much of this is accurate?

I noticed that the Series section of this article has numerous items, ranging from the believable (and properly linked) to the absurd and even unencyclopedic. Maybe someone who knows more about it than I do (which isn't saying very much, I only came upon this article while following some vandalism and have no idea what it's about) should have a look at that section and remove anything that isn't strictly true. - green_meklar 02:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Smithers

He is the man who invents a lot of things for Alex Rider. He is a nicr man. He acts in all of the books and he is a good friend of Alex Rider. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Svenja heinrich (talk • contribs) 10:57, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletion

Someone has tagged this article for deletion. I was about to remove the tag, but then found that there is another article about this subject at Alex Rider (character). I think it's probably best to let this page get deleted and then move Alex Rider (character) here.--Michig (talk) 22:38, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

This is a series of books, not a character. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN}^{play it cool.} 19:23, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, the series is called Alex Rider too, and Alex Rider (character) is too long to add to this article. ~ Bella Swan 20:28, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Would you merge the Harry Potter character article in with the series? I think not!Kangaroosrule (talk) 02:54, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eight book

Wasn't there an eight book listed with a releasedate on this page? Something about that assassin's childhood? Dracoster (talk) 00:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I went to a book signing and heard him say that he will be creating a book about Yassin's childhood, but there really isn't any reliable info anywhere from the author that says the book is definitly coming out, so we can't really put it on Wikipedia. ~ Bella Swan 12:15, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

I deleted the story and characters sections of this article as they are completely irrelevent. They should go in the stormbreaker and Alex rider articles respectively. Kangaroosrule (talk) 02:51, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
