  1. While it hypothetically could be different Lords Staunton, GRRM's phrasing in those chapters suggest to me that it is the same individual (who is unfortunately not given a first name). We could always add a disclaimer, of course.
  2. The maps within TLOIAF are inconsistent. "The West" places Godsgrace on the southern shore of the eastern Vaith, just west of its juncture with the Scourge to form the Greenblood. "The Known World" and "Journeys" place an unlabeled castle (presumably Godsgrace) between the Vaith and the Scourge. The more detailed "Westeros", however, places Godsgrace on the northeastern shore of the juncture. This latter location is also used in the map of Dorne in TWOIAF, as well as the maps of the south from AFFC & ADWD.
  3. When I try to see https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/File:Marc_Simonetti_rich_lands_and_a_keepII.jpg, it gives the following error message:
  4. We don't know if GRRM envisions the same for Westerosi clans, however.
  5. User Igra prestola once uploaded some images of a few locations: The Deepwood picture has no artist listed, and the wolfswood does not appear to be visible in the image. The Three Sisters picture has no artist listed, and appears to depict a mountainous, forested setting. The Runestone and Lannisport pictures have a krassenka mentioned in the file name. I found a blog page at https://krassenka.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/a-song-of-ice-and-fire/ with several fantasy pictures (included the aforementioned pictures associated with the Three Sisters, Runestone, and Lannisport), but none are attributed to artists. One of the pictures shown there is a depiction of the Shadow Tower by Franz Miklis, and another is a screenshot of the Eyrie from s1e5 of Game of Thrones. Any objections to the removal of these four images, since they are by unknown artists and do not seem to actually depict ASOIAF content?
  6. My suggestion would again be "struggle for power after Dalton Greyjoy's death", since "struggle for power" is used twice by GRRM for the article's subject matter. Additionally, The Vale article could thus be called "struggle for succession after Jeyne Arryn's death". Another alternative for the Iron Islands article could be "struggle for succession after Dalton Greyjoy's death" (since GRRM has used "struggle" three times for that topic).
  7. I still think we should defer to GRRM's phrasing for titles whenever possible if he hasn't given us a proper name. Twice Gyldayn uses "struggle for power" to reference the aftermath of Dalton's death, and GRRM hasn't used that phrase for any other event from what I can find. "Struggle for power following Dalton Greyjoy's death" would be more faithful to GRRM's phrasing, at least.
  8. I found two mentions of war and a phrase mentioning fighting. Maybe "fighting in the Vale of Arryn" or "Joffrey Arryn's war"?
  9. I moved it to "struggle for power in the Iron Islands" for more clarity.
  10. Yep, that makes sense to me. "Brusco" for the fishmonger and "Big Brusco" for the mummer. The fishmonger's page can have a hatnote at the top linking to the mummer.
  11. Yes, that is my interpretation as well.
  12. Noblewomen can go by their married name or their original house name. https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/SF_Targaryens_Valyria_Sansa_Martells_and_More GRRM refers to queens consort by their original family name (Betha Blackwood, Alannys Harlaw, Alys Harroway, Alicent Hightower, Cersei Lannister, Margaery Tyrell, Jeyne Westerling etc.), so many readers have concluded that consorts do not take on the family name of the monarch. Jon Snow thinks of "Selyse Baratheon" twice in ADWD, but Selyse wed Stannis before he announced his claim and he has not yet acquired the Iron Throne.
  13. I agree; I count nine usages of "Great Council of 101", one usage of "Great Council of 101 AC", and one usage of "Great Council in 101" within F&B.
  14. In situations where GRRM has not provided us with a formal name for a topic, I defer to the terminology which he does use since that is our source. His focus with Rook's Rest is the battle between the dragons. He also writes about the dragons being above the "field of battle" instead of just the ground, suggesting to me that soldiers were fighting (although they're not as important to Gyldayn as the mighty dragons). Since GRRM's emphasis is on the dragon battle, I think the article is okay as is, with Criston's siege being mentioned as the prelude to the historic aerial battle.
  15. F&B describes Criston's siege, of course, but I didn't see GRRM specifically using "siege" or "besiege" in that section of prose. Since he hasn't given it a formal name, I would recommend basing the article's title on phrasing he uses (battle or taking). Additionally, TWOIAF has "she sent Meleys flying up to face them. Only Vhagar and Aemond came out of that battle unscathed" and "both Aegon II and Sunfyre were gravely injured at Rook's Rest in the battle with Rhaenys and Meleys".
  16. GRRM does write that "the dragons met violently a thousand feet above the field of battle". Alternatively, how about "taking of Rook's Rest"? GRRM writes "... Prince Aemond and Ser Criston Cole took Rook's Rest and puts its garrison to death", and later about Lord Mooton "retaking the castle". That makes sense for Rosby and Stokeworth since they had already switched sides. "Ser Criston marched on Rosby and Stokeworth, whose lords had only recently repented of their allegiance to the queen, commanding them to prove their loyalty by adding their power to his own. Thus augmented, Cole's host advanced upon the walled harbor town of Duskendale ..."
  17. Since GRRM has not yet mentioned the apple in a description of the Rowan sigil, I would just keep mentions of the apple in History sections.
  18. Barring clarification from Ran or GRRM, maybe we could mention something like "it was claimed [by the Two Toms?] that Ser Marston lost his home when Spicetown was burned during the Battle of the Gullet. It is unknown if this was true, or a cover story to explain why Marston was on Dragonstone after the fall of King's Landing."
  19. Yeah, that could make sense. Maybe the wiki should explain both options.
  20. Do we need a "court fool" article separate from "fool"? The usage of the phrase in FAB seems descriptive rather than referring to a specific Targaryen position. Moon Boy is the fool at Robert's court, Butterbumps at Mace's, etc.
  21. Makes sense, might be a family like the Blackberrys.
  22. Ah, the ASOS Appendix mentions "GRAZDAN MO ULLHOR, an old slave trader, very rich". Do we need an article for the fourth Grazdan if we don't know anything more about him?
  23. I would suggest disambiguating the identified characters in ASOS Daenerys III as "Grazdan (fat)", "Grazdan (tall)", and "Grazdan (old)"; I don't think the fourth is described.
