list of books

A list of published books should be added to this article. The same type of list can be found in articles for other authors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mccon012 (talk • contribs) 14:46, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

the Bibliography is detailed enough.  rdunnalbatross  12:53, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Not its not, for example the Book "Shaking Hands with Death" by TP is not mentioned at all. 2A01:599:618:5DA1:C84D:DB9C:DDD0:1D9F (talk) 23:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

plus the fact that #Bibliography is not working at f* all... 2A01:599:618:5DA1:C84D:DB9C:DDD0:1D9F (talk) 23:07, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Death announcement on Twitter

SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER.

Terry took Death's arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night.

The End.

The use of small capitals is a reference to how the character of Death speaks in Pratchett's works.

The tweet in question does not use small capitals, it uses normal capitals. Small capitals may well have been used in the books, but they were not used in the twitter announcement. This is incorrect.

Result: It has been pointed out that the sourcing and some aspects of the writing in this article are below GA standards, and with multiple citation needed tags and "more citations needed" banners in several sections, this is a clear Delist. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 03:14, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Been a while since a GAR nom. I have some problems with this article.

• The works section has been tagged for additional citations needed for verification.
• there's two citation needed tags in styles and themes section.
• He has UK sales of more than 2.5 million copies a year.[34][better source needed]
• I also have a problem with broadness. For some reason, the section of his career is two paragraphs smaller than the paragraph on his alzheimer's disease. I feel as if there's undue weight there.

That's it. Would take some work to hopefully bring this back to status. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:42, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

I've resolved one tag and will try to help if anyone else is willing to take the lead on this. (I'm reluctant to delve too deep, as reading the sources is giving me spoilers for the Pratchett novels I haven't read yet :) Update: No responses, so I'll take this on and (sigh) face spoilers if need be. I don't think it's too bad. I've added a "Works cited" section that should have enough to resolve all the tags; will add inline cites. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 17:39, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Update: As I look into this I'm finding more issues than just the ones identified above. There are fan sites – lspace, alt.fan.pratchett – self-published interview websites that look unreliable, a lot of primary sources and too many quotes from Pratchett. I'd started citing things to higher quality sources, but this requires a lot more attention than I'm finding the time for atm. And no one else has stepped in so far. No objections to delisting.

VirusTotal on www.terrypratchettbooks.com

Excuse me for bad english, I am not native speaker.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that two antiviruses from the web service VirusTotal recognize the official site of Terry Pratchett as malicious, and one antivirus recognizes this site as a phishing one. Please keep this in mind and do something if necessary. Jet Jerry (talk) 16:25, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

This has nothing to do with Wikipedia; I'd recommend contacting Penguin Books, who run the the site mentioned. There's nothing we can do about it. (VirusTotal frequently has false positives, by the way). Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 16:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

I meant that you could just remove the URL from the section Terry Pratchett#External links, if you think it might make it safer for people to click on it. Jet Jerry (talk) 17:57, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
