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 article includes an incomplete infobox, which is part of the standard display of novel information developed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels and also Wikipedia:WikiProject Books. You can help by filling in the missing or incorrect information yourself, or copying the "source code" into the attached article if you need it, and filling in the information yourself, or by providing the following information here on the Talk page so that someone else can construct the box:
	~title of novel~ ~cover image of novel fair use~ ~image caption to give edition details~ ~author of novel~ ~country of publication~ ~language of original novel~ ~illustrator for novel~ ~cover artist name for novel~ ~novel genre~ ~publisher for novel~ ~dd month yyyy~ Print (~binding~) ~pagecount pp (~binding~ edition)~ ~ISBN ~999999999~ (~hardcover~ edition)~ ~prior book in series if relevant~ ~subsequent book in series if relevant~

---

A person who tends to think neurotically and in a disturbing manner and then conveys that state of mind when in the presence of others, leading them to feel unnerved by the person. This label can be used for someone who has this personality all of the time, occasionally, or even during a single situation. It almost never used in a plural form.

[edit] Has this page been vandalized?

Entering this page I found only the "POSSIBLE COPYRIGHT VIOLATION" anouncement, but it pointed to a source that seems to contain no more than the original wikipedia article (and reference to wikipedia). Also, the first time I checked it, the page linked to tried to install dubious software in various ways. Something does not seem right. I have no experience with advanced options like copyright violations, maybe I'm wrong here. Perhaps someone more knowlegable can to look at it... --Kornelis 11:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Entry for Clinton Tyree should not be merged with Sick Puppy.

[edit] PROD

I put this up for PROD for WP:NOT: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information - This is solely a plot summary. --Justanother 17:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I removed the PROD tag again. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Novels/GeneralForum#.22PROD.22 for details. <KF> 00:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Added more review type information and infobox :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 09:43, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Wouldn't the plot summary be more appropriately placed better lower down the page? I originally came here because I was interested in perhaps reading the book and now I would have to scan past the summary before getting to the reviews and I am sure that I am not the only one that picks up a lot while "scanning past" something. Also, is that summary overlong? --Justanother 14:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Good work, but there still needs to be more information to be in compliance with WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE section seven, as the focus of the article is still on the summary. A good move might be to shorten the summary - if such is possible. I haven't read the book, so I wouldn't be able to say for certain.
