Truel

Hello. I reverted your recent addition to Truel since it was incorrect. One thing in particular that was incorrect about it is your statement that " If he fires at C and hits him, he has a 2/3 chance of dying." This is incorrect: A has a higher than 2/3 chance of dying since if B misses, and then A misses, B gets another shot, and this cycle can repeat indefinitely. This gives A a 6/7 chance of dying (that is, if A fires at, and kills, C and then B starts a duel between A and B). In general, your simplication was overly simple, and, the conclusion does not follow from it. The probabilities make a difference, and must be used in determination of best strategy.

Proposed deletion of First and Only (book)

The article First and Only (book) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The quality of the article is extremely poor and very unlikely to be improved at all (main reason). There is an article about the author Dan Abnett, another article about his books (Dan Abnett bibliography) and another article about the book series (Gaunt's Ghosts), making this article simply superflous.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Flamarande (talk) 03:35, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
