So...

I started editing and then I realized I had no idea what you were thinking should be changed or needs improvement, so I stopped around the Siege of Morrish; feel free to revert/kill/dump/cade what you feel doesn't make sense. What do you think are the biggest problems with the original article, and what areas need the most improvement? -MHSstaff 03:03, 8 October 2010 (BST)

Looks like a lot of people complained about the side bar,especially numbers and kills, the conclusions section, some of the judgmental wording in the main article, and the scope of the battle (Giddings / Morrish vs a battle for the entire suburb). Also, "horde" is apparently a loaded term. Whatever that means. -MHSstaff 03:39, 8 October 2010 (BST)

The new updates forced survivors to keep a close eye on barricades.

Yes this is an awful awful pun. However I figure we're very light on images nabbed from the giallo zombie movies we Europeans cut our teeth on, in favour of Romero's hits and misses, and the modern proto-trenchie genre. Moar goar I say. We're coming to get you, Barbara 03:37, 8 October 2010 (BST)
