Talk:List of publications by George Orwell

Wikilinking
Am not wikilinking any of the titles unless the corresponding article already exists. There are few things worse than a list of redlinks. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 15:07, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Chronological order of writing vs. publication
I had been hoping for some feedback on this article in general, and one of the issues I wanted to discuss was which order was preferable. Personally, I prefer the order of writing, as I reckon it better reflects the writer's thought process at the time. Even if it has later been somewhat modified for publication, the essence is probably still valid. Regards,--Technopat (talk) 14:54, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * There is a pactical problem that it is not known when some of his works were written and others were a long time gestating - and where does As I Please fit in. The main thing is to get them all listed - it's easy enough to shuffle them round later. KUTGW Regards Motmit (talk) 23:00, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Cheers, Motmit. Yes, the "As I Please" series and the "London Letter" were two of many topics I've been looking forward to discussing here. Looking into Chapter Two, here, but maybe an dedicated article, as in List of... Meanwhile, KUTGS (Keep Up The Good Sculling) :) --Technopat (talk) 23:27, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Greetings Motmit - in answer to your "doubt" regarding the "As I Please" and "London Letter" articles, etc., I think we just slip 'em in the corresponding slot. That said, I hope to see a dedicated article appear on them in the future. Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 09:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Greetings Motmit - as you state, it's important to get them up and then to re-arrange 'em as necessary. As a stop-gap, am going ahead and adding the first article in each series, with an explanatory note.--Technopat (talk) 12:28, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Use of templates
Greetings All - now that the article is up and running, maybe it's time to format it in a more "scientific" way - as in using Wikipedia templates. I came across the following elsewhere and will start applying 'em to the article (long-term project - please help!): Cite Journal template for journals, and the Cite Book template for books. Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 09:14, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Having second thoughts on the above - they repeat the author's name every time. Does anyone know of a more appropriate template? --Technopat (talk) 09:17, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
