Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

[edit] First encounter between Artemis and Holly

Shouldn't the line "She attempts to employ the almost-no-magic-needed, mind-controlling mesmer on them, but they tranquilize her before she can" say that Artemis and Butler were wearing reflective sunglasses? - jlao⁰⁴ 08:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

yeah pretty much

[edit] Minor Flaws

Firstly, shouldn't the article remind us that Butler and Artmeis tried several places before going to the same oak tree as Holly? Also, Holly took her helmet off, before bending for an acorn. Another thing, Foaly realises that Holly is missing in action, tells that to Root who sees the evidence. Then they look for Holly. Akid 02:11, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More minor flaws

After Artemis stops the loop, the fort thing he sees is Mulch Diggums, not the troll. Also, Mulch had the idea of escaping the entire time he was underground, that's why he remembered the location of the rabbit warren. Akid 02:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoilers

Shouldn't revealing the Gnomish code be considered a spoiler? --Defender 911 19:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Failed GA

An overlong plot, too much emphasis on in-universe code, nothing on Colfer's creation of the character and the critical reception is too short. Alientraveller 17:35, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
