349:. The reason cited is "Remove original research not mentioned in citation. Remove trivia section not covered or referenced in any third party reliable sources." I suppose looking at an amazon page and the user comments on it would be considered original research, and, thus, we must find a third party to look at an amazon page and comments and make a superior, third-party analysis that states: "Users made comments." Otherwise the section is well cited and relevant to the book's history, and if there are no objections by the end of the month I will restore it. 220: 202: 80: 53: 90: 170: 22: 411:
I've done a lot of editing on Knowledge (XXG), but mostly minor additions, changes and corrections, and anti-vandalism reversions. I haven't done a lot of real additions to articles as I have done here so I know it needs a lot of work. I'll try to add and revise over the next few days and will work

I wrote a fairly lengthy section on the styles of combat we see in this book. I invite others to add to this section as they see fit, but please only correct any minor mistakes I made in the original posting (I listened to Way of Kings in audio book format so I might have spelled something wrong).
550:
Your work on this is much appreciated Maximumcool, but it is as you said lengthy. It will have to be trimmed down significantly (no more than a paragraph or two perhaps). It may be okay to have it that long on a dedicated wiki for the Stormlight Archive, but the descriptions on the wikipedia page

I've just read Chapter 56 and, while it does seem to mention many of the things referenced, it doesn't carry the examples or explanations that the Chapters actually referenced. It doesn't make sense to have Chapter 56 as the reference, it should be the individual Chapters.
368:
I'm starting a list of reviews of the book which I've found. Some may not be able to be used, but I figure it's better to list them here and not use them than to not know about a review which may be helpful. Feel free to add to the list.

sigh. If you look at the first draft of this page, you'll see that it was originally the same as the current Plot section. Well, within limits. Perhaps a less detailed world explanation, quote the last paragraph, and link to the forum
535:
I limited this section to types of combat we see that are fairly unique to WoK. For that matter "Styles of Combat" might not even be the best title for this section, but it will do until a better one comes along.–

Unfortunately the citations I have do not have page numbers, just chapter numbers. I don't know if it is needed, but I'm reading from the Kindle edition which has their 'locations' and not actual page

work. I have added HTML comments so that AWB/bots will not merge the references. Ideally it needs someone with a copy of the book to sort out which chapters are intended. Example:

This article sometimes uses "lighteye" as a singular and sometimes "lighteyes." In the book "lighteyes" is used both for the singular and plural, so should we change that?

I would think the chapter number is sufficient. I used just those since page numbers on ebooks (at least the Kindle) aren't consistent.

Alrighty, I wasn't sure. I wanted to include the reviews, but I didn't want to offend the individuals who created the original posts.--

I think it is a very good section, so a big thank you to Maximumcool. However, I'm also concerned this could be considered

I don't think it's necessary since they're just being used as examples, especially if the quotes are properly cited.

Thanks PubliusHadrianus - you're right. It should be lighteyes all through, I've fixed it where I found it now.
