Revision as of 14:08, 17 August 2007
Looks like a first grader wrote this article.
Well, the books are written for first graders, so there you go.
Could use some cleanup, but the personal insults are unnecessary
First, saying that this article looks like it was written by a first grader isn't really a fair or productive comment. And it's a violation of the talk page guidelines with prohibit personal insults. So let's try to be a bit more mature here.
The list of books is helpful, but obviously incomplete. The publishers website has all the publicatin dates and plot summaries for the 111 (as of April 2007) books. A list of the Boxcar Children specials should also be added.
It would be nice to have some explicit statement about which books were actually written by Gertrude Chandler Warner. I assume its numbers 1 through 19, based on the years of publication, but if anyone could confirm and add that information, it would be helpful.
There's a lot that could be done to enhance this article, but it's a reasonable start.

- I did some cleanup for the story section of the article, hopefully it will be a much better read now. -Atamasama 17:43, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
I added the two newest books available in the Boxcar Children Mysteries series, as of 2007:
(Warner, G. (2007). The Ghost in the Front Row. Morton Grove, IL: Albert Whitman & Company.
(Warner, G. (2007). The Watch That Box Found. Morton Grove, IL: Albert Whitman & Company.

List section
I think it is unnecessary to have a full list of the books on both this page and the page entitled List of Boxcar Children books. It's too much information (once expanded) for this page, so I vote to either remove the list section from this page or change it to a simple list without any extra information. Remember there is also a Specials set of books and a series for younger readers that also need to be included so I think we should completely strike it from this page. Any comments? If not I will just go ahead and clear it in a few days..... Thanks Lost puppies 21:30, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
