  • The Mystery of the Yellow Room is also a good choice as it's readable online for free at Project Gutenberg. User:Grey Shadow 03:03, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Notable novel — wow it is still a stub! — :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:14, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • As of January 2007, article is still quite sparse. Once I get my projects cleared up, I’ll try to employ Russian Wikipedia resource as well. theUg 22:11, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Comments Good day, WikiProject Novels people. I just attempted to learn something about Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and the paucity of that article, on the novel sometimes called the greatest in American literature, and which is included on almost every list of the top half-dozen, should be a source of great shame for the Wikipedia. -- Writtenonsand 15:24, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for adding this here. :-) -- Writtenonsand 20:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
  • This novel has top-importance, which in my view raises its priority for attention. --Sordel 14:41, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Contains a lot of good information, but needs an info box and expansion of plot summary and characters. - Runch 16:18, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • This book has top-importance which in my view raises its priority for improvement. --Sordel 14:40, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Currently contains a plot summary and character list but has no info box or any discussion of book's thematic elements. It contains little of the novel's historical significance. - Runch 16:18, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Seems a novel of reasonable note that should probably be covered in greater detail than it is at present Silverthorn 16:01, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Important novel by an important author, much in need of expansion and improvement. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 16:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
