Can anyone think of a good way to break this up? It's hard listing by score they gave the book since they don't really give it stars or anything. A huge list just seems rather hard to look through. --Hyarion 20:54, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

How about, at first anyway, splitting reviews up as: "Spoilers" and "Spoiler Free"? I won't get my copy until at least Friday so I've been avoiding reading some of the forums where people refer to book and say things like "I was suprised when....." and "....when 'so and so' died...." It's been a while since I've read the Sil so I'd like to go into this book fresh.

After a few weeks we possibly could give each review its own page with all the proper credits and such, you would know more about that Hyarion, I'm really new at this. :)Erniel 21:20, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

I hadn't thought about the spoilers, though would those be even things mentioned in UT, or only pertain to the brand new information? I just had an idea for splitting them into "Negative", "Positive", and "Neutral" sections based on how they liked the book. Maybe we could just say "(Contains Spoilers) after the link if it does. --Hyarion 11:34, 18 April 2007 (EDT)
Spoilers will only be an issue until everybody has a chance to read the book, say a month or two (or 6) from the release. How about letting the reviews be rebutted/discussed, or whatever you want to call it, in the same way some E-Newspapers do. Peopole can add to, or "Wiki", the bottom of the review much like we do on the "_-Talk" pages.(after logging on of course, that would cut down on spam)Erniel 16:56, 18 April 2007 (EDT)
