The entries in red, where Honor is the protagonist, must have be speculative or working tiles; though publication dates are in the future. The list of Honor Centric books is not complete — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.1.212.77 (talk) 17:48, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Quoting from Thumperward's Talk page:
The article is nearly all jammed into one section, which has too many subheadings. As a biography, the article should focus on Weber himself and not just on a list of his works. Instead, the fragments of the article which actually discuss Weber's life are either placed in the lead section (which should really be a summary of the article's key points) or in scattered sentences in the "his works" section which is far too closely paraphrased from the sources (source 7 in particular is liberally copied from with the pronouns swapped out for the third person). It's not quite at the "full rewrite" stage (although the close paraphrasing must be eliminated), but the layout certainly needs to be heavily rethought.

Odd thing... I just discovered that these books are translated/published in the German language as e-books (Nook) but under the series title "Nimue Alban" rather than "Safehold". I also noticed that each book is split in half resulting in two volumes of German for each English Volume. Finally I noticed that the German e-version costs $12US for one "half" of the original book whereas the English hardbound version costs about $9 for "whole" book, printed on paper and hardbound (the English e-book costs about $7). These prices exclude the most recent volume which is about $21. SOURCE: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/?series_id=581645
There is no Safehold page at DE.WP but a text search for "Nimue Alban" finds German language Wikipedia which shows this list:
Safehold (Nimue Alban)
Vol. 1: Off Armageddon Reef
Band 1: Operation Arche
Band 2: Der Krieg der Ketzer
Vol. 2: By Schism Rent Asunder
Band 3: Codename: Merlin
Band 4: Die Flotte von Charis
Vol. 3: By Heresies Distressed
Band 5: Die Invasion
Band 6: Cayleb's Plan
Vol. 4: A Mighty Fortress
Band 7: Die Eiserne Festung
Band 8: Haus der Lügen
Vol. 5: How Firm a Foundation
Band 9: Die Übermacht
Band 10: Der Verrat
Vol. 6: Midst Toil and Tribulation
Band 11: Kampf um die Siddarmark
Band 12: Der Kriegermönch
Vol. 7: Like a Mighty Army
Band 13: Die Streitmacht
Band 14: Mit Dampf und Donner
All seems very odd to me that a translation costs more than 300% the price of the original (as an ebook) but I have no idea how the world of translating published books works. 104.32.201.0 (talk) 16:12, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

The now-blocked Dr. Jamir Harber left me an absurd warning accusing me of vandalism—for an edit that corrected a couple punctuation errors and one usage error. I presume this account is merely a troll (or perhaps a legitimate account that was hacked), but if anyone sees reason not to restore these simple edits, please say so. 2605:A601:A0A4:2700:7125:9EEF:72D5:8A5D (talk) 18:51, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
