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.

Do we have any canon sources for the "1,500" year time span between GEoD and HoD? I have read and re-read this book and I cannot see any quotes (( unless i am merely blind, haha )) but I keep seeing the characters refer to "milennia" and "the milennia" passing since the reign of Leto II. I interpreted this to mean there was more than one. Am I just insane?

It was my impression that around 5,000 years had passed between the end of GEoD and HoD; someone changed that to 1,500. Lacking a clear reference, I didn't fight the change. Justin Johnson 08:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I changed it to "Thousands of years" as we have no reference for 5,000 or 1,500. Etan 22:48, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Having just read the book, I believe it is 1500. Can't remember which page it is on though :( maybe I'll find it later. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.102.221.156 (talk • contribs) 18:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Ive just changed it from 1500 or 3500 to 1000's of years becuse it dosn't say it in the book how many years have passed and it says '1000's of years still after his death the tyrant still controls us...' (odrade in tabar-finds the secret hoard)

plus, dose it realy matter? its a great book and thats what counts not some stupid time scale!

And I changed "1000's" to "thousands" because the former is just god-awful ugly. SandChigger 00:51, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
