Talk:School story

Copyright violation The text in the article is a copy of [1] (by Ju Gosling) with a little paraphrasing. If User:Skull 'n' Femurs is Ms Gosling, or the text is relased under the GFDL or a compatible licence, that would be fine; otherwise not. I've left a query at User talk:Skull 'n' Femurs

However, even if we have permission to use this text, a number of paragraphs are quoted material from which the attribution has been removed. This is quite wrong, and the attributions should be restored if the material is kept. Gdr 18:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Apparently no permission was given. So I'm afraid the text must go. Gdr 18:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I could quibble and dispute that 1. was the prime source, (I'd never visited that page before the link was posted). 2. It was "with minor paraphrasing", but whatever - at least I did not simply cut 'n' paste without any changesas per Charles Matthews at school story...

Article
This article focuses entirely on English fiction, mostly written in nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. There has been a lot more fiction in this area produced widely and to date, other than Harry Potter. I'm not sure if there are other articles on Wikipedia which deal with the wider scope of this genre (nothing obvious came up upon a search), eg, the United States and non-English speaking countries. If it is meant to be primarily about British fiction of this type, perhaps it might need to have a more specific title, or perhaps it could be expanded to take account of the wider appearance of this fiction geographically and temporarily.

 * Have proceeded with expansion on article after further research and consulting others for advice, it appears school story genre is very distinct and has been recognised as such and called 'school story' for some time by academics Mesmacat (talk) 05:53, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
