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] Sci-Fi Channel CoD Miniseries

I'd like to point out that "SciFi Channel" created a Children of Dune movie, a three part Mini Series. It's available for sale. I didn't see it mentioned on the page. --kanzure

Done. And I added a bit about how it was 'well-received'- nobody better delete that for being NPOV- the miniseries reveived several awards and has positive reviews both critically and from the audience. See [1] for an example. -- Maru Dubshinki 03:32 PM Saturday, 12 March 2005

[edit] Synopsis

I think the synopsis is a bit too long to be an effective synopsis. Suggestions? --Zippanova 05:08, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

I feel the same way about pretty much all the synopses- they are crufty and messy. But unfortunately I'm preoccupied with re-writing Dune's synopse. If you want to volunteer, that'd be great. I'd like to see a new draft. --maru 15:06, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Another problem with the synosis: it seems to shift randomly between present tense and past tense -- even within a single sentence. Very disconcerting to read. Poor style.

[edit] Spoiler Alteration

I made a change. At the end, there were several pieces of spoiler info from God-Emperor of Dune, which is the inappropriate place for it. I also added Leto's takeover of the breeding program at the end of the novel.
