The Novels WikiProject Newsletter
Issue I - June 2006
Project news
  • Two automatically generated worklists have been established Book stubs → Novels stubs and Novels without Infobox. These have been created for the benefit of the project and so that editors can use them as hitlists to target sets of articles needing specific attention. (n.b. these do not replace but complement the manually enhanced "Work in Progress" lists)
  • The project's New Articles list continues to track brand new articles that members of the project and other editors have written.
  • Of particular note has been some sterling editing by one member creating a whole raft of articles on the Simon Templar as The Saint novels by author Leslie Charteris.
  • Also notice that the {{Infobox Book}} now has a separate field for "image_caption" this should enable the book cover image to be clearly described, particularly giving information on the edition (ideally first) to which the image relates.
Member News
  • The project has currently 88 members, 30 of them have joined after 1 May 2006.
From the Members

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Novels WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this new format will help members—especially those who may be unable to keep up with some of the rapid developments that tend to occur—find new groups and programs within the project that they may wish to participate in.

This inital issue is really a trial; any comments and suggestions are quite welcome, and will help us improve the newsletter in the coming months.
