Talk:Nineteen Eighty-Four
Clean up plot[edit source]
Who wrote this crap for the plot? 71.82.60.179 00:59, 3 December 2007 (UTC) The plot is a bit stupid - 211.30.230.28 08:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. Not only is it not funny, it doesn't follow the book at all. The book has a plot that could easily be made funny but the author does not take advantage of it and instead uses a bunch of Animal Farm junk. I might work on this myself. -DeathBySnowman (talk)
Newspeak[edit source]
If you have to write in Newspeak, at least make it comprehensible. You can't just slam togehter random Newspeak words hand rail banana before mousepad tomorrow opposite hello.
Suggested Re-writes[edit source]
I'm happy to do either of these, but seeing as both would require a total re-write of the article, I'd like to ensure that atleast a few other people are behind me.
1) Write article (or translation thereof) in Newspeak. 2) Using wikipedia article as the basis, re-write the article substituting in current US-political words in.
Agreed. This is supposed to be funny, not idiocy. 66.91.122.30 01:06, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Pee Review[edit source]
Humour: | 9 | Nicely done. Here's my point by point criticism of each section:
|
Concept: | 10 | Well done rewriting concept of book. |
Prose and formatting: | 9.198 | I found a couple of minor instances of gramatical errors but only because I'm a Grammar Nazi. I don't see any other issues. |
Images: | 6.5 | Appropriate logo reskin and opening picture. Others are great, but I am not a fan of the last four: they're neither ungood, nor good.
|
Miscellaneous: | 8.7 | Average of scores. Whoop-de-do |
Final Score: | 43.398 | That was a very good article. Thank you for the read good sir- you deserve a gold star and maybe some ice cream. |
