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.

Is the novella shorter than this description? Geeez! -- Zoe

Ha ha. No, IIRC it was about 150 pp. though. --KQ 22:24 Sep 20, 2002 (UTC)

However, both our article on the Samuel Beckett work Breath and its talk page are considerably longer than the work itself. --LDC

[edit] Chris Chambers/the Body

When I link to or search "Chris Chambers" on Wikepedia, I get this listing. Chris Chambers is a wide receiver for the NFL's Miami Dolphins. I don't see how this listing is appropriate for him.

He is a character in "The Body" by Stephen King DUMBASS!!! you probably only know him as chris in the movie "Stand By ME"

How come the incident of the stolen milk money isn't included?

Go for it, dude! Ellsworth 23:19, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I finally bought the book. - BillyMoses.com

[edit] Cleanup tag

I added a cleanup tag to this article- the plot is overly detailed and unwieldy. I decided not to use a plot tag because the issue is also with the short stories described within the plot description. -Elizabennet | talk 19:33, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I have started heavy-duty clean-up and copy-editing; I will hopefully be able to track down some refs/external links in the meantime, as well. I hope to have the tag removed soonish, and all help is welcome. :) María: (habla conmigo) 17:18, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
