Welcome to WikiProject Novels
Hello Ann! Thank you for signing up for WikiProject Novels! I hope that you find ways to engage with writing about literature content on Wikipedia. Please let me know if you need any helping finding tasks, or getting research materials on the topic. Sadads (talk) 19:19, 3 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, Alex (Sadads)! Thanks for your greeting.
 * And I really need some helping. Needs some grammatical cleanup in the article about Russian novelist Andrei Gusev.
 * I’m a patrol-editor in Russian Wikipedia. I have already made some correction in that article but what else? I don’t know English as well as a native speaker knows; I’m not so good in English to find all grammatical mistakes. Could You help to make the translation better? — Ann Cane (talk) 10:43, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! If you ping me here or on the talk page of the articles you work on, I am happy to clean up articles. For example, I took a pass at Andrei Gusev -- and reorganized a bit and removed some content that normally we wouldn't include without verification through sources. Please let me know when you need help on these kinds of activties, Sadads (talk) 14:22, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, Alex! Thank You very much!
 * Some weeks ago I translated into English the article about a very interesting Russian novel Journalists (novel). If you have time for it, please take a look at this article. Probably, needs some grammatical cleanup. — Ann Cane (talk) 17:04, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅ Did a brief pass, to cleanup some of the funny language constructions (for example, native English prefers less passive voice than direct translation from other languages tends to add). 20:13, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks!!! It’s fantastic. You did it so quickly.
 * May be You’ll look at the article, which my colleague Xenia Odnoletko (Ксения Однолетко) translated from Russian into English.  It’s the article about a novel "THE WORLD ACCORDING TO NOVIKOFF" by Andrei Gusev. I’m sure, needs some grammatical cleanup. — Ann Cane (talk) 01:14, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅ That article needs some serious work: the plot isn't clear (especially the connection between islamic terrorism and the main character's job). Similarly, the Literary features section doesn't go very deep, and has, for example, a quote from a review sitting there without serious context. Doing quick passes on articles, is not too challenging -- I regularly review novels articles, so am happy to help. Sadads (talk) 14:39, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
 * O.K. I’ll say about it to Xenia Odnoletko Ксения Однолетко (who is the author of that  article). — Ann Cane (talk) 17:58, 5 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Several years ago I read a novel “The World According to Novikoff” by Andrei E. Gusev (in Russian). I tried to improve the Plot summary (as You had said) and Literary features of the article "The World According to Novikoff”. Alex! if You have time for it, please take a look. — Ann Cane (talk) 10:32, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Help request for mapping section titles
Hi. We (the Research Team at Wikimedia Foundation) are building an algorithm that will align Wikipedia article sections across languages. For improving this algorithm we need the help of multilingual Wikipedia editors to provide true statements to the algorithm. You are contacted because based on your Babel template and/or content translation tool usage you know at least two of the following languages: ar (Arabic), fr (French), ja (Japanese), en (English), es (Spanish), ru (Russian).

(Note: by clicking the links in the following paragraph, you will be taken to Google spreadsheet.) If you'd like to help us with translating a subset of the section titles on or before 2018-05-01, please read and follow the instructions. If you see instructions in another language, please scroll down to find your preferred language. If you have questions about this message, you can contact us via Diego. Thank you! :) --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:01, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Sorry
What you wrote about 'With Cronos' Permit' is not ready to be an article. I've moved it to a draft. To start with, the plot summaries need to be made more comprehensible. Please let me know if you have any questions. DS (talk) 00:54, 26 April 2018 (UTC)


 * O.K. I rewrote this article. See the new version of a draft. Is it correct now? —  Ann Cane (talk) 14:38, 28 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I changed the article. Please see: a draft. Is it correct now? — Ann Cane (talk) 10:05, 30 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I've changed the plot summary to be comprehensible. Please tell me if it is accurate? DS (talk) 02:33, 1 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks! It may be so; although such version is very, very short. And in title of the wiki article it’s necessary to add letter “h” in Cronos (as in the book). — Ann Cane (talk) 09:59, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
