Talk:Mission of Honor

Late-June/Early-July

I called Baen today, and the person who answered the phone (name unknown) said MoH would be out in late-June or early-July. I realize this does not qualify as an actual cite-able "Source", but even so, I'll go ahead and add it to the article.

I just noticed the cover image is now available at baen's schedule page (http://www.baen.com/covers/1439133611.jpg).

I just added the cover image from Baen and fixed up the refs to use {{Cite web}}. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:24, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Dear 75.23.248.232 :

To the Anonymous two problems with it.
1st, while I routinely have problems with forgetting to log in, I _HOPE_ I don't make major changes to a page without re-logging in, and tweaking it. That way some one who looks at the log has a way to get back to me with any issues. If you don't already have a user ID, please get one. If you do have one, please try to use it next time.
2nd, I myself read through the ARC very very quickly. So, I admit I could be wrong on this... It seems to me that some of the conclusions you reached, at least in paragraphs 2 & 3, _MAY_ be a bit off. I don't mean entirely WRONG, just not quite entirely correct. It will take a re-read on my part before I make a more definitive statement. I suggest you do the same.

Dear 70.29.210.242  :

Dear 70.29.210.242 : I share your concerns about the Plot summary posted by 75.23.248.232, at least in regards to its total accuracy. However, if you are not going to bother to get a UserID or to use it when you post a {{plot}} and {{wikify section}} flag to an article, then I feel it is only fair to delete your flags. I will do so soon. Next time please log in.
LP-mn (talk) 04:42, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Well... I could just delete the entire section as an unsourced plotdump, if you prefer it that way. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia anyone can edit, so my tags are correct, and you said so. If you can't bother to fix the problem, you shouldn't delete the tags. Next time fix the problem. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 07:36, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I didn't quite say that you were correct. What I said was that the other ALSO anonymous poster should double-check his information. I explicitly DID say that I could be wrong. And you still have not logged in. {BTW, just because anybody can edit the pages does not entitle everyone to behave in any manner they so choose.}

The tags on the section are appropriate. The plot is too long and it hasn't been wikified. Please do not remove maintenance tags without addressing the problem. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 01:17, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I was asked by LP-mn to have a look here. 70.29.210.242 has all the right in the world to edit this article in accordance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines without ever signing up, if he so prefers. In my opinion this is precisely what he has done, and I am glad to welcome a new editor to Wikipedia, and especially one that takes an interest in David Weber's Honorverse.

Notability

Outside of the reception saying it sold well ("It debuted at #13 on the New York Times Hardcover Fiction Best Seller List.") I am seeing nothing to suggest this volume is notable.

   The review notes: "... savaging its naval strength and incidentally killing many of Honor's relatives and leading to some critical revelations about the manipulation of both Haven and Manticore over the centuries by parties whose full identities and ruthlessness are yet to be revealed. Readers may feel confident that they will be Honored many more times and enjoy it every time."

@Cunard 3 capsule, +1 regular (TDN). I guess here we can just change {{notability}} to 'sources exist'. Thanks! _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:04, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
