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] thoughts/suggestions/corrections

Just in the process of reading these novels for the 1st time; not got through them all yet, but will have soon. Anyway, spotted a couple of errors in the article, based only on what I've read so far (mon amour, and 1/2 of last tango):

• Louie and Llunos didn't 'fail' to stop the bombing in Mon Amour. Well, they did, but the failure was deliberate. It's not specified in Mon Amour, but early on in Last Tango there's a scene with a flashback where Louie and Llunos deliberately withheld from stopping the bomb drop.
• The bombing attack at Rio Ceiriog wasn't a 'dambuster' style; the Lancaster bomber used had been acquired from 617 squadron, but the attack itself wasn't on a dam, nor did it involve water. The attack on the Nant y Moch dam, on the other hand, WAS dambuster style.

In the dramatis personae, I wonder if it's worth mentioning Dai the Custard Pie? In Mon Amour, he has a fairly small part, but there's the scene in Last Tango where Louie goes to see him in prison which is redolent of Silence of the Lambs, with Dai taking the Hannibal Lector role. As I say, not read the whole series yet, so I don't know if that's a one-off and therefore unimportant.

Apart from all that, it looks a good article to me - catches the memes and themes of the novels well. Good job on the part of the editors. Carre 19:19, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
