I think the article as it is comes across as a bit like a promotion. There are some serious edits and expansions needed to accurately represent the series.Dubk (talk) 22:13, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If the mystery of the silo has been revealed, it needs to be revealed here. notable plot points are not withheld, thats the job of the publisher. we dont avoid spoilers.75.61.135.189 (talk) 19:48, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

English usage

"In 2012 Howey began shopping around the international rights to the series, with rights to the series being sold in Brazil".

What meaning is intended by use of the phrase, "shopping around"?

Normal English usage would suggest visiting a number of suppliers in order to find the best price at which to purchase an item, however that is clearly not the meaning intended here as Howey is not trying to buy Wool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.176.214.202 (talk) 00:44, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interviews

I've removed the interviews at "isaachooke.com" and "successilism.com", as neither are places that Wikipedia would consider a reliable source. Bluntly put, if something isn't seen as a reliable enough source to use as something to show notability, it shouldn't be added to an article. Some articles do include links to interviews in the EL section, but that doesn't mean that they necessarily should be included. Many times those only exist on Wikipedia because they haven't been caught and removed yet. Only time something should be included is if it's by a reliable source. An interview with the New York Times? Add it. An interview with Publishers Weekly or SF CrowsNest? Add it. But an interview with two blog-type sites that aren't really considered to be reliable sources? No. Not something that should be added. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:17, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone's curious about the links, here are the two removed: Isaac Hooke interview, Successilism interview Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:28, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fanfiction

I've removed the Fanfiction section. It was extremely poorly sourced and was written from a very non-neutral voice. Do not readd the section without thoroughly discussing. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 03:21, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like advertisement

"Book 9+ ... Now available for preorder on Amazon.com, it will be released as a single volume on August 17, 2013.[11]" Should the bit about pre-ordering it be removed? Opinions? SybilleY (talk) 14:30, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That edit was removed just after you posted this. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 02:21, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I wasn't sure about it ;-) SybilleY (talk) 11:49, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
