[edit] Disinterested Wikipedians
Yeah, i've found that too. I'd estimate the median edit total per the nearly 900,000 Wikipedians now is around 10 or so. The key to getting hooked to this place is finding a niche, as you have with Warhammer. Karmafist 19:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels
Sure, what would you like to know? Some things you can do to help are:
- Tagging novel articles by putting {{NovelsWikiProject}} on their talk pages
- Adding the infobox to novel articles (as long as you have the correct information to fill out the infobox)
- Writing or editing articles on novels you've read, making sure to cite sources for things like literary analysis (symbolism, themes, etc.)
Let me know if you have any other questions. | Klaw ¡digame! 18:22, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- I either omit the "binding" field or I use the binding of the edition that I used for the page count. It's not really critical, since most novels are available in hardcover and paperback. | Klaw ¡digame! 19:22, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- My pleasure. Let me know if any other questions arise. And thanks for joining the project! | Klaw ¡digame! 22:14, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tribulation Force
Thanks for helping out with this novel and adding the infobox, added a few things myself. Please note the talk page proposals I have for this one and Left Behind relating to article splits. Any questions just ask. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 16:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ware tetralogy
More helpful than any kind of tag would be specific suggestions on the talk page of how the article could be improved. I may or may not agree with you about what still needs to be done. Nareek 06:23, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- It definitely is uneven--I've been re-reading the books for purposes of Wikifying, and I've gotten through the first three so far, though I've only written up two. Part of what impelled me to do this was my sense that the description of the last book--which I believe I haven't changed yet--was just wrong, the idea that the religious and anti-drug themes in that book came out of the blue, when they're really present from the beginning. I'm interested in any guidance, even if it's just "this part seems a bit much." Nareek 18:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Categories
Hi, I noticed the categories you added to Battlefield Earth. You may want to read WP:CLS, which describes how to best apply category tags: it isn't necessary to add a tag for a category if the article is already in a sub-category of that category; for instance, since BE is already in Category:Science fiction novels, there's no need to place it in Category:Speculative fiction novels. There are some exceptions, but I don't think there are any that apply in this particular case. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Syracuse as a convention center
Ah, OK, I hadn't thought of that way of reading it. I may try to come up with some other way of phrasing it, though, so someone else doesn't trip over it as I did. Thanks for the explanation. -- Mwanner | Talk 21:05, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Syracuse, New York
Hello. Regarding the Vanilla Sky poster on Syracuse, New York - I'm afraid that fair use is conditional. The tag says posters qualify as fair use "to illustrate the movie in question or to provide critical analysis of the poster content or artwork... Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement." This clearly excludes the Syracuse article. Technically, the poster shouldn't be on the Tom Cruise page either. The JPS 12:34, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Mists of Avalon
Hi. I copied and pasted the info from my user page onto the Mists of Avalon page since I didn't want to move the user page. I removed the cats. if that's what the problem was and I'll get around to deleting the page someday. Stoa 05:28, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Death of Virgil
There is never going to be a "Right" answer to this one. I would enter it in using the English name with the details of the "first" edition and also give the details of the language as German as that was the source language regardless of whether it was published in that language, first or later or at all. Does that cover all the bases. Thanks for you input on the Novels articles by the way much appreciated. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 07:36, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Novels newsletter
As a long time supporter of this project I thought I would let you have a look over the first draft of a new newsletter initiative. Could you see if there is obviously anything wrong with the concept or text, thanks for you help. I will ask one or two other stalwart editors before formally publishing the first issue. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 13:48, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Novels infobox missing list
Ok, I will repoupulate within 10 hours of this post. Note, currently I am the only person able to populate these lists. (They are done through a program that I wrote) Thanks for telling me. Eagle talk 21:51, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
P.S. In the meantime, you may want to look at the other 2 auto-lists that are currently being worked on by WP:NOVEL members. Eagle talk
[edit] List is repopulated with 4 categories... more to come
As the title says... thanks for telling me the list was empty :) Eagle talk 22:21, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Hound of the Baskervilles — Problem found
Thanks for reporting this to me instantly. The criteria for this list is very simple, and as a result I expect 100% accuracy. Just so you know, the problem comes down to a simple capitalization mistake. To see click on the link to the problem article and look for the infobox book template. The 'I' is lowercase, I assumed all infoboxes had to have uppercase first letters... apparently I was wrong :) This error is fixed and should not appear agian.
Agian thanks for pointing out this error quickly.–Eagle talk 01:34, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- Wow you respond quickly! Thanks for putting effort into this list :) Eagle talk 01:39, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] novels
Thanks for the links, but should I specify the first edition ISBN and page numbers and cover pictures in the article? I've done a bunch of infoboxes (my main goal; how useless), but I'm still not sure about a few things like that. LittleDantalk 04:10, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
