[edit] Copyright page

Hi welcome to wiki, Just reversed you addition to the Novels templateTemp page as Copyright_date is not a field in the "infobox book". That is not to say that it should not be but you would need to propose this on the Template talk:Infobox Book page. I was using the "Release date" field, which in my view should really be "Publication date" to fulfill this purpose. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 10:05, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels

Hi seeing your interest in books and novels, I was wondering if you might like to get envolved with our as yet small (revitalised) WikiProject. Being a small group currently there is plenty of scope for influencing things and making your contribution count. We are about establishing standards for Novel based articles and writing articles that meet our own and others high standards, and to improve Wikipedia's diet of articles on Fiction books, otherwise called Novels. Please be very welcome. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 10:05, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

just seen you had signed up - so I took the liberty of adding you a userbox on your main page.

Hi, Welcome to wikipedia and to the Novels project. Wander round the Project pages and get a feel for what we are about, then get stuck in with article improvement and writing. Dont forget to use the templates and categories provided. Any questions please ask. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 10:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hannibal's Children

[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)

The June 2006 issue of the Novels WikiProject newsletter has been published. You may read the newsletter, change the format in which future issues will be delivered to you, or unsubscribe from this notification by following the link. Thank you. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 13:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:War machine cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:War machine cover.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:08, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The War Of The Roses

Your idea of moving the article to a better name was a good one. Please note, however, that you should never copy/paste articles like this (you will lose the edit history). Instead, use the "move" tab of the page to move the article to a new name. It's fixed now. Rl 20:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Acts of War proposed for deletion

Hi PeregrineV! Please take a look at Acts of War. It has 16 fields that are filled only with dummy information, such as "~Explain the novel's title.." It probably shouldn't remain that way. It confuses the ISBN-searching because it has a dummy ISBN. I marked it with {{wp:prod}} but that should be removed if you think you can get to it. The Ashes of Eden has some of the same problems.

Auto list news
  • The NovelsInCompleteInfobox has been regenerated at the start of October and was shown to have grown rather than shrunk! So this month I have concentrated my efforts (with some help from Grey Shadow (talk • contribs)) on the novels missing "genre" tags. These "genre-less" have now "all" been dealt with. Hopefully we can break the back of this load of work, but it will need help. It would be nice to get these worklists to a state where they can monitor the newly created articles rather than cleaning the retrospective material.
Collaboration of the Month
  • The Collaboration of the Month is going well. October's collaboration was slightly compromised by the removal of our notice early on; however there were still nearly 80 edits to improve the article. This months Collaboration has been selected by popular vote and is Doctor Zhivago (novel)
Current debates
  • We have a project structure that allows for the formation of special interest task forces (al la "WP:MILHIST".) This is useful for identifying groups of Novels editors who have a common interest. (i.e. Science fiction novels, Crime Novels, Children's novels, Classic literature, Russian novels etc.) Would there be interest out there in setting one or more of these up. Comments please to the General Forum.
Newsletter challenge

Last months Liponym challenge was met by Springeragh (talk • contribs), but the article is still a "very" small stub.

  • The first person to start the article is mentioned in the next newsletter. This months' article is Lawrence Durrell's novel Clea.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Perfect-justice-cover.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Perfect-justice-cover.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 02:38, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Plenty of work has been done on articles included in the "auto lists" in the last couple of months. Particluarly so for the NovelsInCompleteInfobox list, which is constantly being worked on by a number of editors and most of those missing "genre" entries and quite a number with missing "ISBN" entires have been dealt with. A re-run of this list is due soon, courtesy of user Eagle.
Collaboration of the Month
Current debates
  • A new policy proposal has been started and the various points are to be seen at Wikipedia:Speedy deletion criterion for unsourced articles, please take a look at these and comment. This is a vital subject and all editors should consider the implications. These are NOT active yet, but could have wide reaching consequences. Please contribute your views.
  • We have a project structure that allows for the formation of special interest task forces (al la "WP:MILHIST".) This was mentioned last month and a few have indicated interest. This is useful for identifying groups of Novels editors who have a common interest. (i.e. Science fiction novels, Crime Novels, Children's novels, Classic literature, Russian novels etc.) Would there be interest out there in setting one or more of these up. Comments please to the General Forum. Currently I am considering starting with "Crime Novels" and "Russian Novels" to see what can be achieved.
Newsletter challenge

Last months Lawrence Durrell's novel Clea challenge was met by Hurrah (talk • contribs), who was "very" quick off the mark. As with the previous months it is now a very small stub in need of "loving care".

  • The first person to start the article is mentioned in the next newsletter. This month's article is paranoid fiction.
