Reading this wiki I've come to the conclusion that Mormont's Raven is the star of the series. His article is certainly the most detailed!

He IS the Song of Ice and Fire. He is also the Game of Thrones, King of the Iron Throne, Head Walker, Next Lord Commander and the Stallion that Mounts the World.

I've been meaning to overhaul that article entirely, it keeps getting away from me,

Frankly, I think we need a conversation on the appropriate length of articles. There are way too many that are waaaaay too detailed. Some of the chapter synopses are getting out of hand too. They might as well just be a banner saying "Read the book".

I think we concluded that a number of articles are far too detailed, listing everything a character does in all their appearances. That's not really what the wiki is about. If an article seems to long to you, it probably is, and I recommend rolling back to whichever article was there before it was greatly expanded.

House Merryweather's wiki page has their words as 'Behold Our Plenty,' written on their banner, it should be 'Behold Our Bounty.'

The Blue winter rose page has a couple of mistakes under the Lyanna section.

Lyanna Stark

• The statue of Lyanna Stark in the crypt under Winterfell had a garland of blue winter roses. ^[4]
  
• The crown of the queen of beauty Prince Rhaegar Targaryen gave Lyanna Stark at the Tourney at Harrenhal was made of blue winter roses. ^[5]
  
• In Ned's dream about the Tower of Joy blue rose petals symbolized Lyanna. ^[6]
  
• Lyanna loved the scent of winter roses.^[7]

[edit]

Out of the four lines, the first was is incorrect and the third is pretty speculative, though stated as if fact. I believe both should be removed. Ideally, all of the Lyanna-winter rose mentions should be (correctly) listed here. I would do it myself, but I found the code a bit intimidating.

Wrt to the first line, which is linked to Eddard I, I believe there is some confusion between the visit to the crypts by Ned and Robert and Ned's dream at the beginning of chapter 47 (Eddard XIII):

He was walking through the crypts beneath Winterfell, as he had walked a thousand times before. The Kings of Winter watched him pass with eyes of ice, and the direwolves at their feet turned their great stone heads and snarled. Last of all, he came to the tomb where his father slept, with Brandon and Lyanna beside him. “Promise me, Ned, “ Lyanna’s statue whispered. She wore a garland of pale blue roses, and her eyes wept blood.

I think Robert might have mentioned it if Lyanna's actual statue included a garland of winter roses, due to the association with Rhaegar.

For reference, all of the blue winter rose mentions in the series are listed in this thread.
