Talk:Head

Page Format Change
Storyseeker1, thanks so much for adding content! I made redliks to the page, so I had to make the page...and then I had to go study for finals. Now that I am officially on Christmas break (Yay!), I have just re-organized what you had in order to add headings. I think I preserved all of your original info; let me know if I missed something we should add back in. Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 06:31, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

One thing, though... When someone dismisses you from a job for incompetence, it's called being fired, even if they do get you another one. This I know something greatly about, as I have had to fire several people over the years. So the Head was definitely fired from her position at the school.

Except that she wasn't dismissed--it sounds more like being "kicked upstairs." It also wasn't her boss, but her friends who got her her promotions. Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 21:02, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

She was dismissed from teaching. Storyseeker1 (talk) 02:33, December 22, 2012 (UTC)

But she got a job higher up in the same organization. You wouldn't call a cashier who gets promoted to manager fired, even if the promotion was because of incompetence at his/her previous job. There is also the fact that it was her friends, not her boss, who arranged the promotion. Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 06:13, December 22, 2012 (UTC)

"Other Occupations" Quote
I intentionally decided not to use the quote format for this because it is a comment by an (in-universe) historian, not a quote by a character. I don't know exactly why, but the quote template format didn't seem right somehow. I may be wrong; I'm not saying it can't be changed--I just want people to know that it is an intentional (if incorrect) choice. Thanks! Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 06:31, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

What's the difference whether the quotes by a character or during a sentence? It's still in the book. Storyseeker1 (talk) 11:06, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I know, and I could certainly be wrong. I guess the difference is like the difference between an inspirational quote by Abraham Lincoln that you might put in italics at the beginning of a chapter of a book on the Civil War, and an in-text citation of a Civil War historian's quote, which isn't generally separated from the body of the chapter. Even though both Lewis' quotes and the characters' are in the books, from an in-universe perspective they are different things. Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 18:09, December 21, 2012 (UTC)
