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.

[edit] Gained in traslation

Where did this August 4th, 2026 come from? from a book i have (traslated to spanish), the date cited in the story is April 18, 1985, not the other one. Way too gross a mistake to be a typo by the translator. Could anybody clarify this? I'm tempted to modify this wiki entry right away but it'd be good if the original writer of the entry first offers his/her take on this before I do so.

And I feel a "Warning: spoilers.." notice is in order.

Later editions have this story dated on 2026, maybe?

The computer, at the beginning of the story, says that the date is August 4, 2026, according to every version and every website I've every read. That must be a translation error; when does it say that? - Pureblade | ^Θ 13:51, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

The audio version I just added reference to also gives a 1980s date, but it could well be an adaptation. I'd go with the different editions theory. 131.111.200.200 14:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

The title was changed when the story was republished as part of The Martian Chronicles. --Animakitty 22:04, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
