Talk:Book trick

I disagree with the cleanup tag. Cleanup means the article is failing considerably in format or style. I do not think this article is, and yes, I am taking this as a personal insult. :) If you mean it is a stub, that's something else. I don't see the article as needing a "major rewrite." --Karlos 13:55, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * This article looks a damn sight better than 90% of the others in Category:Slang & Terminology IMO. --Rainith 13:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah yes, it does. I didn't have much time yesterday, so I just flagged it for cleanup... This is what I meant a little more detailled: There should be a more general article, discribing the tactics of using tanks with carried objects as a bait (maybe just expant the already existing paragraph about this in the article Carried Object?). "Book trick", "gear trick" and the like should be redirects to that article. Although undoublty most populat there, this tactic isn't limited to Fow or SF at all. The article, as it is right now, includes half of a walktrough for the Army of Darkness quest, which, in my opinion, shouldn't be there, but rather in the article about that quest. Well, maybe "cleanup" was the wrong flag for an article where I'm unsatisfied with the content, but at least I got your attention, didn't I? ;) --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 14:29, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll switch it to Stub, since what you're saying is that it needs to be better linked to existing content. I disagree with putting the steps in another article. If you want to put the "general" steps into the "general carried object trick" article, that's fine. But I would be against moving the steps specific to this trick into the quest article. The book trick is not done FOR the Army of Darkness quest. I'll put a reference that before completing the quest, you might want to tuse the Unholy Text for the book trick. But if a tank wants to read how to do the book trick, he should find it in book trick not in Army of Darkness. --Karlos 15:23, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I've heard this in reference to Sorrow's Furnace farming, the Gates of Kryta mission, and a few other places. in light of this i'm modifing this article to reference the general idea of holding something to concentrate enemy fire, and making the original article a second meaning --Honorable Sarah 12:13, 19 March 2006 (CST)
