[edit] Shannara

Wellllll....It may be more useful to work here on Wikipedia...More people who might join are here--I know that the only reason that I looked at the Shannara Wiki was to find new people for our project here (no offense intended). I just think that no matter how good the work is, only editors look at the (name here).wikia.com pages, so it would be better to improve them here..........Do you have any really good articles at the Shannara Wiki that we could bring here?? Maybe they can bring a few Shannara articles here up to featured status just because of them???? (I confess, I don't have a lot of time at home, and my school blocks all ".wikia" sites as personal pages, so I haven't looked at any of your articles)... That would help bring people in to help there and here. I would appreciate the/ANY help at the Project, but it's your decision. Thanks for any help, and sorry for the gynormously long message! the_ed17 02:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, a thought.... hit the "+" button to start new topics on talk pages--it helps to distingush between different topics; and to add more to an existing topic, just add a colon below previous writing (like I did here, it indents--look at your talk page under the edit button and see). Lastly, add ~~~~ add the end of your message to sign a signature!!!! (If you knew, I am sorry for insulting you!!! =D ...and if you didn't, I am sorry for being a HORRIBLE explainer/teacher!) the_ed17 02:19, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

And yet another thought...would you happen to know of any website where Brooks (or anyone!) talks about Shannara so we can add references to the articles? the_ed17 12:28, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow. I knew about his website and the "Ask Terry"...but I did NOT know about the "Druid History Vault"!! Thanks! the_ed17 15:20, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Novels WikiProject Newsletter - Issue XXIII - April 2008

Archives  |  Tip Line  |  Editors The Novels WikiProject Newsletter Issue XXIII - April 2008
Project news Elections are now taking place for coordinators of the project for the next six months. Any editors interested in seeking a coordinator position, or who want a say in who is selected, should indicate as much here. Member news The project has currently 381 members, 69 joined & 0 leavers since the start of March 2008. Other news The project's long-time lead coordinator, Kevinalewis, has announced he is not standing as a candidate for another term in that capacity. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to him for the extraordinary work he has done for this project. To Kill a Mockingbird and El Señor Presidente were both recently promoted to Featured Article status. This brings the novel FA count to 14! It has been suggested that WikiProject Sword of Truth be merged into WP:NOVELS, perhaps as a task force. Task force news The Shannara WikiProject was merged into the project as the Shannara task force. Anyone who can help would be appreciated. Two inactive projects were converted into task forces, so Chronicles of Narnia task force and Lemony Snicket task force have been created. People interested in the aforementioned subjects are encouraged to support the new task forces. (Thank to Wassupwestcoast for the tip) Novel related news The science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke died on 19 March aged 90. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz won both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for 2007. Current debates There is a discussion regarding further task forces for other genres of fiction now taking place here.
