[edit] Australian Literature WikiProject

Hi there, I thought you would like to know that we are trying to get an Australian Literature Project going. I came across your site when I was looking up info for the Robbery Under Arms article. I like it. If your interested, we currently have a WP Australian literature development page.

It would also be helpful if you could list your support of our proposal at the WikiProject Council. There's a lot of work to be done, I think, and the project will really help manage it.

Hopefully we'll see you around, otherwise thanks for your time. xx baby_ifritah 11:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Welcome aboard - hope the project looks like a worthy idea! (Oz lit) cheers SatuSuro 06:12, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Miles Franklin Award TOC

Yeah sorry, I restored it, was trying it out to see how it looked (being so long) but on second thoughts it's better with it. I was going to undo it but got called away. --Canley (talk) 10:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thea Astley

Well, let that be a lesson to me - next time go to the primary source rather than authoritative-"looking" secondary sources. The literature is confused out there - I assume the original edition has no hyphen either? Can't see copy on internet but NLA catalogue - which MUST be right eh? - has first edition without hyphen. (I must admit it got me to pondering Astley, last night - she's a great wordsith and I wondered what her thoughts were re hyphen or no hyphen. No hyphen certainly creates a more clever, ironic possibly, title.) Will change it back. Much apologiesSterry2607 (talk) 00:10, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I suspect only a small band of us notice (notices?) such things as hyphens and who care about the implications! It's a bit like Peter Carey's "True history of the Kelly Gang" not "The true history...". I sometimes wonder whether it matters but I think, really, that it does. Otherwise, what makes literature?

[edit] Kibble

Here I am again. I came across the Dobbie and Kibble while doing something else - and noticed some red links for Kibble due to variations in names. I've done some work linking them all to the page you've set up, and as I've said on that page's talk page, I have added a little background info. I'm happy to help unpick your page into two pages when you've checked into the naming issue. Just let me know. OK?Sterry2607 (talk) 01:30, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Ta, will check back later in the week and see what you've found - no pressure though if it takes longer!Sterry2607 (talk) 10:27, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
'S OK...I've been away for a few days - just back. Have plenty to do to keep me occupied!Sterry2607 (talk) 06:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I noticed...That's great. I have been looking for the Foxlee in the last week or two as I want to read it. Were they just announced this week?Sterry2607 (talk) 12:08, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Ah, thanks. I was away from the news recently as I had taken my parents away for a few days on a sentimental journey!Sterry2607 (talk) 04:25, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Secret River

Ah, thanks. I reverted back to your last edit - I thought the Twist stuff was suss when I saw it last night but when I saw the new stuff today I decided it was a vandal at work! Good to know there's a few of us keeping an eye on things, eh? Sterry2607 (talk) 04:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I have my copy - I actually think the spear just goes into Twist's hat and ear, and not through his head...until someone can argue otherwise from cited sources proving a "mistake" or, even, some "confusion" amongst reviewers, I think that's how we should read it? Are you happy with that? Sterry2607 (talk) 04:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
