GrammarEdit

Hm... I would argue against the use of grammar that way, Embel_Nickel. Most of the articles are written from the POV of a Redwaller in the far future. However, when speaking of the books as literature, the present tense is used. This is evident in the book summaries.

As the last paragraph is written from an "out-of-universe" view, I mantain that it should be in the present tense. Please contradict me, I love a good argument. Or, as the Guosim say, a debate. After all, that's how they got to be so smart.

Actually character articles are supposed to be past. They're not actively living ;) --LordTBT

That's right, but the books and other views of the universe from the outside are written in present tense, correct? That's because we are viewing the books as literature, which is always referred to in present tense. (For instance, in the Great Gatsby Jay Gatsby falls in love with Daisy. Saying "fell in love" is incorrect, despite the fact that neither one ever lived.) The last paragraph is a commentary not based on a view of the past, seeing as Redwallers never heard of Victorian England. Thus, it should be written in present tense.

And while we're on the subject, why are articles past tense anyway, if they're not from a future POV? Despite the fact that it sounds better, it's not proper grammar. --Docbob 23:21, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Cunning StoatsEdit

The first three books (chronologically) that go hand-in-hand with each other are Martin the Warrior, Mossflower, and The Legend of Luke. In the first and last, the villains are pirate stoats (Badrang the Tyrant honestly, his name is lame, sorry, had to let it out), and Vilu Daskar. Each thinks that stoats are the most cunning vermin species, yet it is foxes who are proclaimed throughout the book as cunning. What's up with the stoats' egos, why in the first books, and why would Brian Jacques portray them like that? Skrabb-a-log ^{What are you waiting for? Click it!} 20:44, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Vilu is probably the most underrated villain from the Redwall series. At least, one of them. --Lord Bluestripe ^{Eulaliiiiaaaaaa!} 03:18, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
