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 reverted to my previous edits and made some minor changes.

I reverted because the old page contained a series of dead wikilinks - none of the pages beyond Jonathan have been created yet, so having dead links is pointless. If the articles are created, link the characters then.

I removed everything from the category tags beyond the categories themselves 'cause they didn't seem to do anything.

I re-worded the introductory paragraph to be less point of view (i.e. calling series entertaining) while stilll containing the historical links, adding a link to pliny the elder.

All of the books I removed the plot summaries as they made the page sound like a publishing blurb, but kept the tags for those yet to be published.

The TV series reference I embedded in the text so it looks cleaner.

I also changed the header, and replaced 'chronological order' with order of publication - I'm not acutally sure if it's accurate (i.e. whether the publication order follows chronological within the plot) but it seemed to make sense.
