Talk:Discworld

Why are some quotes in bold and others are not?

For that matter, why are the pictures there. They are utterly random, have almost nothing to do with the quotes and seem to exist only to make incredibly stupid puns.71.51.98.37 03:48, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

When I clean up the quotes, and put them in order as they are in the book, I tend to remove any formatting that isn't in the book, as I think that bolding emphasizes quotes that the author himself did not emphasize. I hope no one minds too much. As for the question about the pictures, I don't know. Others put them up there. They aren't doing any harm.Markjoseph125 (talk) 04:48, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The pictures and bold type are simply there to break up the make the page more interesting, otherwise it is just swathes and swathes of boring text. Some cleanup is needed. The pictures and bold type aren't used in a consistent manner, and some sections (e.g. Sourcery) seem to overuse the bold type. They should be used to highlight maybe a handful of key quotes per book. Anywikiuser (talk) 09:45, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Snuff quote
Extremely clever, but I did not find it in the book. Perhaps it is taken from an advertising blurb? In any case, I've moved it here. If I've missed it, and someone can find it, please re-place it on the main page, with the page number. Thank you Markjoseph125 (talk) 02:11, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse.

Should Discworld books all be on one page?
Would anyone mind if I reverted the edit that deleted the first 12 books? Yes, there are separate pages for them, but I think it's preferable to have them all in the same place.Markjoseph125 (talk) 01:37, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I am in agreement that they should all be on one page. I was just briefly checking in and noticed your comment — I have had relatively little time to monitor things here for some time, and had not even noticed the major revisions which occurred. I would also prefer the divided out sections which became pages simply become redirects as well, as they originally were. I have to be leaving again now, for at least an hour or two, but simply wish to state that I do support such reversions. ~ ♞☤☮♌︎Kalki ⚚⚓︎⊙☳☶⚡ 02:23, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I'm reverting it now. I don't know how to do redirects, so if someone could take care of that, it would be much appreciates. Markjoseph125 (talk) 01:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Rats. I got the message: The edit could not be undone due to conflicting intermediate edits.
 * I have done an awful lot of work to make this page interesting, useful, and filled with many representatives of Pratchett's wit and wisdom. I'd sure appreciate it if it could be restored to one page. Should I just revert all of the subsequent edits, in reverse order? Would that work?Markjoseph125 (talk) 01:32, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
