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 improved this a little, mostly to make people aware of the new edition with its fuller explanation of just what is going on.

I moved up the descriptive portions, my own and the existing material, so that they are all together.

The plot summary needs improving, but I do not have the book to hand. All I did was to correct the statement that Nokes was punished, which is not accurate and is contrary to Tolkien's feelings in the matter. Nokes has some good aspirations, even if his understanding is often poor.

Some illustrations would be useful, if they could be obtained without breach of copyright.

[edit] No longer a 'stub'?

What's the definition? I'd have thought it was now large enough to qualify as 'regular'. --GwydionM 18:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

Hi, I put in an infobox, but it's incomplete. We need the number of pages, and a cover image. --Kjoonlee 03:25, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

If we can't find a cover image for the first UK edition, I think a newer edition image would be OK if we use an image caption to point that out. --Kjoonlee 05:47, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
