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] To do

I've rated this as a start class article. IMHO, the article needs:

1. Info for other releases
2. More detailed description of characters
3. Links to any verifiable reviews
4. An overall check for any other items missing from the template

I know that we don't normally edit other's text, but please feel free to add or strike items above and add a note below regarding any amendments. TheronJ 15:49, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notes regarding amendments to list

[edit] Categorization

I decided to categorize NiC as erotic fiction and a horror novel, but not as a mystery novel. (All the previous novels are categorized as mystery and horror, but not erotica). My reasoning is that the mystery elements are fairly limited in this one - although Anita does wonder why the new shapeshifters in town are being jerks, and does learn, late in the novel, that some local shapeshifters are missing, she doesn't investigate the mystery so much as she just reacts to people coming to her house and confronting her with problems. I'd be interested to hear other opinions, though.TheronJ 13:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
