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.

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~

This article was nominated for deletion on 29 December, 2005. The result of the discussion was keep.

After the two most high paced books;the Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, comes yet another promising spine-tingler book from the magic bag of Dan Brown. Like its two prequels, this book is expected to be an instant hit all over the world. this book shows American symbologist Robert Langdon,as he embarks on yet another sequential mystery. Hope this will be as brainy,infomant and high on I.Q. as it's prequels.

As you will note, some discussion about deleting this entry went on, with the final result to "keep" the article. The Solomon Key--speculation about it, in any case--apparently is more about the Freemasons and related conspiracy theories than anything else. Wikipedia has some informative articles about the "real" Key Of Solomon (a legendary scroll said to have been written by King Solomon).

[edit] The book's working title

This article [1] indicates that the title 'The Solomon Key' has been dropped. Presumably we should keep an eye out for a new working title and redirect this page there once we have it? Just to alert people...Peeper 11:15, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I'd say wait till any oficial announcement is made, either way. --soUmyaSch 11:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:

• Sighs*

This is the same ol' regurgitated junk that's been handed down to different folks all the way back from the 1700's.

I know exactly where Dan Brown is going with this--I've already read up on what certain cults have to say about King Solomon.

Here's the picture; first of all, he's going to talk about some sort of secret society (most likely the Illuminati will be involved within the storyline) and he'll tell you that the masons trace all the way back to a guy named Hiram (who allegedly was a mason and helped Solomon build the temple).

Then, he's going to tell you how they "got involved" with American politics--he's going to tell you about the "Great Seal" which was drawn up by the Treasurer of the USA at the time (who was a mason).

Somehow, he'll fit in the fact that they were involved behind the French Revolution which inspired us Americans to do the same thing (the last part being a lie).

Then...

Lastly, he'll tell you about their traditions and gods who gave them wondrous power and how that we can maximize our potential if we realize that we can have this kind of power too.

Guys...this is old junk.

It's as old as the hills--it the same ol' power grab stuff that satan tried to give Eve in the garden.

The French Revolution took place after the American Revolution, and had a lot of its inspiration from the American Revolution. Other than that, I completely agree with your point. Knowledgesmith 05:42, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
