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 Adam Bede 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. List of literary works with eponymous heroes List of literary works with eponymous heroines Pages that only exist as redirects: Men at Arms changes

This is a very good book, and I think Card is a very good author. I think there should be more in this articel, but do not have n ideas of what to put. Any help? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Robin63 (talk • contribs).

It might be helpful to add analysis of the book in comparison to Mr. Card's stated political beliefs found on Ornery.com. Another potential analysis might be a comparison with the 110th Congress, which currently has Democratic majorities in both chmabers.--S Keillan 19:28, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Anything of the nature of which you suggest would be original research, which is strictly forbidden on Wikipedia. If others have done such analysises, we could quote them, but we can't do such research or express our own opinions. — Frecklefoot | Talk 17:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Has any commentary surfaced considering the fact that the in-jacket summary has pretty much nothing to do with the plot of the novel? It was a major flaw of the piece, and I'd be surprised if someone with some sort of credentials hasn't commented on this. I'd check, but outside duty calls...Screenmaster16 01:42, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
