[edit] Novels

Do we need to have a link to a newspaper review on this page, when the same link is included on the novel's individual page? (I'm talking here about THE SECRET RIVER).

Also, while I'm here, why is Kate Grenville included as the author of all the novels when this is her page? This is pretty obvious, isn't it? I can understand including the co-authors for her non-fiction works, but don't see the point in her name appearing so often in the list of titles. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 22:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Again, Perry, I agree with you - ie, re the listing of her works. This is one of the first pages I started working on when I first became a Wiki editor about 10 mths ago. I really dislike the way her works are listed - whoever did it used one of those citation templates but I think it is inappropriate for listing an author's works on their page. I for one would be happy to see it changed. Oh, and I'm inclined to agree with you re the review too, given the novel has its own page. Cheers, Sterry2607 (talk) 04:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'll get to and clean it up a bit. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 10:57, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm loathe to lose the information listed here so I think I'll need to create a page for each of the books. Might take a little longer, but Grenville is certainly an Australian novelist of importance and deserves such treatment. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 23:14, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
