Talk:Wave of Terror

This talk page can not only be dedicated to improving this modest Wave Of Terror article, but also other wiki articles and even marketing and publicity.

On this page we won't be needing to hide references, etc. in formatting, but things can be cleaned up and/or formatted as necessary before copypasta.

Rid the red. Hopefully some of these may link to Wikipedia articles in other languages (Russian, Ukrainian, etc.).

• J. Conrad Guest
• the village of Misiatichy, outside of Pinsk (aka Mysiatichy and/or Miasiacičy in French?)
  • Variations exist across different language wikis and are confusing on Wikidata.
• Church of Saint Paraskeva
  • "It is likely that Odrach was baptized in the Church of Saint Paraskeva in Misiatichy,{speculation inline|date=September 2016}" - Why not try to verify rather than remove?
• Soshna (near Pinsk)

To do list

Besides improving citations we can.

• Commons
  • scan and upload better scanned photos and images, including book cover thumbnails for old and new books (We'll need to look up the size limits.)

• WikiData
  • improve

• Wikipedia article
  • add Emma section...
  • add "Books translated to other languages" section...
  • to Bibliograhy add English-translated titles
  • to Bibliograhy add brief descriptions?

• WikiQuote
  • read/re-read to find notable quotes
  • and share stuff on Wikisource and Wikiversity

• WikiSpooks
  • mirror final article

Erma Odrach

IMO, a new Erma Odrach section should be added between Personal life and Books translated into English.

What to include?

• Brief life synopsis.
• Motivation.
• About translating.
• Upcoming works?
• Citations, links, and notes to/from other history, institutions, media reviews, Ukrainians, etc.

Free PDF?

Obviously the goal is to sell books. Some folks don't mind ebooks. Some like to sample first. Some will never pay. And some will buy the book regardless. IMO, better to get it out there and let people share. Include a message to buy the book - and some may. Even 1 in 100 is better than none in none. ~ JasonCarswell (talk) 01:42, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Marketing & publicity

Draw parallels from the Wave of Terror to what's happening now under the globalists. In short, capitalize on tyranny rhyming. Draft up extensive lists, then draft up articles, essays, and scripts to make into videos. ~ JasonCarswell (talk) 01:42, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Make a webstore with merch. Not just on Theodore and Wave, but beyond. If wanted, and if possible, build up the legend into mythical (but true) status. Develop memes. If people can wear Che and Marx t-shirts, why not Theodore? Make Ted cool again. ~ JasonCarswell (talk) 01:42, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
