Template:Cleanup taskforce notice
This is really messy and doesn't yet look like an encyclopedia article. It looks more like a news peice on some book. Starting most sentences with stuff like "The authors quote" is not good either. Who are the people being quoted and why should the reader care about what they think? All I've done so far is delink some people's names who were not introduced as being important. We are not here to write encyclopedia articles on common folk. In fact it is not possible to do so. --mav
This is not an article - just a list of direct quotes from a book... it needs major rewriting and some actual non-quoted content to become a useful article. KJ
I figure it could eventually be worked into an article on modern views regarding urban politics-in the meantime its resting here. Vera Cruz

Copyedited a bit, added a category. Agree it has too many quotes but not sure what else can be done with it without knowledge of what the book actually says. Katefan0 23:24, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
Maybe just a plot summary?
Do we even need an article this long about this book? I am not trying to judge the "importance" of this book, but what if there was just a simple plot summary? If others agree I would be willing to take this on. Jacob Buerk 01:12, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
summarizing this book
Jacob,
I think you have a good idea here. Go for it. Jekoko 18:33, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Wow
This is sloppy and seems largely to be unimportant. The idea of exchanging it in favor of a plot summary seems to be a good idea.
Oy. And it was made by Lir, to top it all...
Besides the already explained problems with this article, it was first made by a sockpuppet of Lir's, User:Vera Cruz. Sigh. I don't know anything to do with this article... JesseW 22:54, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
