[edit] Literature

  • French literature This article doesn't know what it wants to be about. DanKeshet 23:34, Nov 7, 2003 (UTC)
  • English literature lots of list and no information, needs structure and content (see it's talk). There is argument over what the page should really be about (what is eng lit) an i suggest so as not to offend writers born in scotland who publish works in england that the article be restarted at British Literature (about lit from the british illes including ireland). --Phoebus 18:08, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
British literature still needs lots of work. Man vyi 17:22, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Possible crisis in Western publishing - stub, needs context. ··gracefool |☺ 13:12, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Books

  • Anatomy of Criticism - The tone is too informal, and the article text needs to be expanded and elaborated on by someone familiar with Frye's work. For example, what is Frye's Green World Theory? Why does Bergson's work complement Frye's? Etc. - Cobra libre 19:37, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • The Satanic Verses - Too much about the circumstances of the book, not enough about the content. Anyone whose recently read it is more than welcome. -Jrka 13:33, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • TI-84 Plus Silver Edition - This article has a Pages needing attention message, but I can't find the attention it needs. 66.245.122.28 21:36, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • The Vampire Chronicles -- needs a good going-over for POV, and checking by someone familiar with the series Motor 21:07, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
  • On the Road -- If you have recently read the novel, you might enjoy editing this term paper and turning it into an encyclopaedia article. Should be great fun. --KF 19:43, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fictional characters

Did some work on it, but it could use more. Factitious 19:56, Sep 5, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lists

  • List of German-language poets -- very much like List of German-language authors: did Gunther Grass, Franz Kafka, Robert Musil or Max Frisch ever write poetry? I heard that Herman Hesse and Heinrich Boll did, but even so they are known as novelists. If I'm right, it's a shame (3 of the above are Nobel prize winners, I think) . Maybe it should be merged with the author's list. Curero 10:20, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Poetry

I've been adding, mostly, a list of links to more specific topics. If someone wants to add some kind of interpretation here, feel free. --Smerdis of Tlön 01:05, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • Nibelungenlied needs smoothing into proper English and would benefit from more information. Maximus Rex 06:43, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC).
Tried smoothing the English a bit, but it still needs work. Idril 16:10, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Writers

I've done a rewrite, but it still needs some work. Currently trying to come up with some more to add. KorbenDirewolf 19:36, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I think I cleaned this up. --Jondel 05:47, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
cleaned up, but still a stub. ··gracefool 11:41, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • F. Van Wyck Mason - Van Wyck Mason wrote about fifty crime and adventure novels with action in all parts of the world, some about historical people....but this article doesn't say much about that. Kingturtle 21:20, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
  • Ellery Queen -- A lot more needs to be said about the various authors who used the name "Ellery Queen". --KF 21:49, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)


[edit] Writing

  • Real Person Fiction - Article appears to have been written by someone with a particular grudge against a Web site called "fanfiction.net". Needs attention from someone familiar with the fan fiction scene, and someone familiar with the legal issues of publishing fan fiction (including sexual fan fiction) about real people. --FOo 00:51, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Has been largely rewritten. — Catherine\talk 01:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Stylus - as this article places greatest importance on styli not used for writing, I nominate it for some sort of Encyclopedia that Slashdot built award. --[[User:Eequor|η♀υωρ]] 22:33, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Short story - currently reads like a school essay. Filiocht 11:55, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Handwriting foreign accent - Needs renaming and a rewrite. According to comments on the talk page, some of the info might not even be correct. -- uriber 19:19, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I've done a rewrite and reformat on it, to be less US-centric and less China-focused and omit the more dubious examples. I don't know what to rename it. Tverbeek 00:14, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
