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] Discussion

I'm not entirely sure of the facts, but this article states that the MOVIE Camelot was made in 1967. It was a musical before, perhaps before the Disney movie. That's an idea.

I grabbed this off of the article on T.H. White and was going to merge it here:

The early section of the book, describing Arthur's childhood and tuition by Merlin, was dropped from Camelot, but later adapted into the Disney animated film, The Sword in the Stone. An unpublished final section of the book was published after White's death, as The Book of Merlyn.

BUT:

1. The first sentence is incorrect. The Disney movie (1961) predates Camelot (1967). Therefore, that cannot be correct.
2. The second sentence already exists here.

But the play version of Camelot came before the movie version. I think the play opened in 1960. Kuralyov 02:06, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The book, taking place on the isle of Gramarye,

Is "the isle of Gramarye" more than or other than a poetic name for Great Britain here? Marnanel 02:04, Apr 24, 2004 (UTC)

From the book, I think it's supposed to mean Glastonbury. Kuralyov 02:06, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I changed 'Arthur invents chivalry' to 'reinvents' because on more than one occassion Merlyn refers to the Old Chivalry which Uther Pendragon promoted. This is the Old Chivalry which the Orkney Faction employs in volumes 2-4.Cariel 15:23, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

White spells the Queen's name "Guenever" not the traditional "Guinevere," so I added in a reference in the beginning to this. In which way should the rest of the article refer to her as? I left it as is, except for a mention at the beginning but I'm not sure if it should maybe be changed to follow how White has it. Crito2161 19:03, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

• My copy also has "Launcelot" instead of the more common "Lancelot". Should there be a mention of this, or is this a regional spelling difference, like "colour" instead of "color"?Pooneil 07:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

This book is also mentioned in H. G. Wells - The Sleeper Wakes, one of the books in the future.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.249.231.6 (talk • contribs) 3 December 2006.

[edit] Plagarism

I'd like to point out that the contents of the section entitled "The Work as a Political Commentary" is a direct rip-off from the sparknotes webpage for the novel (http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/futureking/). Perhaps they ripped out their analysis from Wikipedia, but in either case someone is plagiarizing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.182.139.95 (talk • contribs).

I can't find anything that looks like an exact quote—yet; I'm still working on it. It can stay for now. —ScouterSig 15:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
