Adding to the 'Plot' section

Hi, I plan to add some more information in the Plot section. I propose to write a short description of each season in 2 or 3 lines which encapsulates the major themes of those seasons. After that, I also want to add some info related to how all these seasons/storylines are connected to each other. G3Tr1Gh7 (talk) 21:26, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:PLOT may be of interest. And perhaps WP:AUTOCONFIRM. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 22:03, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, will look into this! G3Tr1Gh7 (talk) 22:04, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please disregard the edit request above. I have been auto-confirmed, and now can start editing the article.

Thanks. G3Tr1Gh7 (talk) 00:07, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the plot concise VerseVoyager8 (talk) 15:46, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure.

Thanks for the input. G3Tr1Gh7 (talk) 15:49, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding character profiles

Hi, I'm thinking about adding some more characters to the 'characters' section. Presently, a lot of characters and their introductions exist in this section. However, I think I can think of more characters which are not major characters but are significant figures in some storylines. G3Tr1Gh7 (talk) 23:54, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An example would be Mance Rayder (The King Beyond the Wall), who is not a major figure but has a significant amount of scenes and contributions to the storyline especially in Seasons 2 and 3. G3Tr1Gh7 (talk) 00:01, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be amazing if you could write more about characters who had a small part but made significant impact. Also are you going to be covering characters from book or movie or both? VerseVoyager8 (talk) 15:50, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For now, I will be focusing on characters from just the TV show, as this Wikipedeia page deals with the TV show and the not the books. G3Tr1Gh7 (talk) 15:53, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Including opinions about Seasons 7 and 8 in Reception section

Hi, discussing the critical reception and audience reactions can provide context for the series' impact. In this, I also plan to answer the question about how Seasons 7 and 8 have lower ratings than other seasons. G3Tr1Gh7 (talk) 23:57, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe add that in critical reception too VerseVoyager8 (talk) 15:50, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I will. G3Tr1Gh7 (talk) 15:51, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change "vessal" to "vessel". "Vessal" is not a word. There is only one occurrence of the word in the article, in the last paragraph of the "Successors" section. Mateogg (talk) 18:46, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Drovethrughosts (talk) 20:06, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Auction

I don't see a section where this would fit, but it certainly should be in the article.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:07, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
