Cheery, the female dwarf first appears in feet of clay not MAA.

Well spotted. I should have picked that up when I cut and pasted it from McSnagga's original entry. Plagiarism is the most dangerous form of pedantry.
I have made the change to MAA and FOC, and taken the time to update the entry with Pratchett's most recent books.
Thanks again.

BEN:
Angua is in MAA-you only needed to move the bit about Cheery

FOC should read something like this
Samuel Vimes has to deal with a murder, and some suspiciously acting golems, whilst the watch has gained a new member: a dwarf who may just be female.
Can i suggest a book you may want to get hold of, though it's a little behind with the books: The Discword Dictionary (I think) It has an a-z of characters.

Hi
I have updated the entry with your suggestion, and taken the liberty of co-crediting you, if you don't mind.
I don't have any great feeling of ownership for this entry. I didn't write most of it, just tidied it up, and I think most of McSnagga's definitions are pretty facile, to be honest. Not sure why I did it really, and I did it a long time ago.
If you want to take it on and adapt it or rewrite it, please feel free. It could be quite a useful entry, though it does need updating twice a year. You will have to make a new entry, but you can cut and paste the existing Guide ML by putting http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/test544150 into your browser. All I ask is you co-credit McSnagga and me, (U148580) if you use any of what we originally wrote.
As I said, thanks for pointing out the error.
All the best.
