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.

I removed the "Trivia" category, because the only item it held was this: "A. S. Byatt's novel shows so well what postmodernism is all about that students as young as 16 (Year 12 in the UK) study it as part of their modern novel examination for the AQA exam board." Not only does it not make sense grammatically, but how does the fact that students study postmodernism for their AQA have anything to do with the novel, or that the novel shows what postmodernism's "all about"? Um, it doesn't. Also, in the novel LaM and RHA are romantics, not postmodernists. Maria 15:12, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plot Summary

This article needs a lot of work. I can't really help, as I'm only about 100 pages through the book. It desperately needs a plot summary, I'm quite sure that's a requirement for articles on books. It also needs a 3 paragraph (or so) lead. ɱўɭĩє^{What did I do}_wrong 00:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

You should familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/ArticleTemplate before you finish the novel (one of my faves, by the way) and rush to make some changes. I agree that a proper plot summary is needed, but the lead section need not be a certain amount of paragraphs; it already has the important details, such as year, genre, author, and awards, so it merely needs to be fleshed out. Enjoy the book! María: (habla conmigo) 01:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
