Suggestion: Citation change

[edit]

The "Heroism" section includes a quote from Frank Herbert: "The bottom line of the Dune trilogy is ...". As the quote's source, the article cites a book by Thomas Clareson. But I've just looked at the Clareson book, and Clareson is just citing the original quote from a prior book, "Dream Makers" by Charles Platt, published by Berkley Books in 1980. I looked at Dream Makers and confirmed that the Frank quote is in there, on page 191. (Its Herbert interview was conducted in 1979). So I figure the Clareson citation should be changed to cite the Platt book instead. I'd do it myself, but I'm not sure how to use the Wikipedia citation tools correctly. I hope someone can make this change, and I hope this is helpful. Thanks! DrJimothyCatface (talk) 12:54, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original research flagged

[edit]

I've added citation needed flags to the first two paragraphs of the themes / gender dynamics section that look to be original research of someone explaining aspects of the book and characters without references. I suggest these paragraphs be removed and rewritten with adequate citations related to the topic, which I can do unless original editor of this area wants to do so.

Why is "Chronicles" capitalized?

[edit]

In the first paragraph: "It is the first installment of the Dune Chronicles." I don't see any mention of "Chronicles" in the link, at least not in the way that's implied here. Philosophistry (talk) 14:20, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
