Material Deleted for Failure to Meet Wikipedia Standards on Objectivity[edit]

The following passages were deleted for being little more than expressions of personal opinion (not to mention being shockingly substandard and ungrammatical writing) and of personal experience - all in direct contravention of the basic standard, "Wikipedia is not the place to publish your own opinions or experiences". (see: WP:OR; WP:VERIFY)JTGILLICK (talk) 23:01, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"It is hard to explain Lancelot’s love for Guinevere, for it seems unimaginable; he would sit upon his horse for days upon days, and many restless nights, dreaming about the queen and always lusting for her while he is away on his noble deeds."

"White wanted to make the love triangle of Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere solid in your mind."

"After reading the Ill Made Knight, I began too look at human nature much more deeply. I can now begin to see the effects of bad actions, the echoes that carry on and affect others… It could even stop one of the greatest orders ever established (The Round Table). The Ill Made Knight changed my perspective on human nature, and that is quite powerful. Lancelot’s greed for love, Arthur’s passion for civilization and Guinevere’s loneliness within herself defiantly were strong factors that I will look upon throughout my writing and educational career.-->"

"He focused on all the aspects on Lancelot, and the overall moral was how the treasonous, betraying spirit of the human being is. Even the greatest friend of Arthur: Lancelot, cheated on, not only Arthur and his relationship, but he betrayed the entire Round Table by loving Guinevere in a hidden relationship. See, Lancelot was the most ideal model for chivalry, yet this affair tore that image down. This goes to show how one sin can ripple off into worlds of other problems. For example, The Orkneys go on to use their affair to justify the execution of Guinevere and the exile of Lancelot. Why did they do such an act? Well, it goes back to about a century before when Uther Pendragon (Arthur Pendragon’s father) had been in quarrel over love (see a pattern?). White seemed to push the idea that love and politics don’t mix too well. There were many lessons to learn from The Ill Made Knight, but I believe those were the most important."

Punctuation[edit]

I am not sure what do with this incorrect punctuation. "He is later found by Elaine's father (2 years later)(who does not recognize him) and is kept as a fool until Elaine recognizes him and cares for him." There are two parenthesis adjacent. In addition, the article seems to overly use the word "manages." Should I correct these? Bfotino (talk) 02:21, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
