Welcome to Novels WikiProject
Hi, and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often refered to as "Novels".

A few features that you might find helpful:


 * Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
 * The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including WikiProject_Novels_announcements there. While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox User WikiProject Novels.
 * The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but other methods are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:


 * Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines / template outlines some things to include.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the members, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Grey Shadow 22:55, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Novel comments
Re:User_talk:Grey_Shadow#Novels

I've had a quick look, but for the life of me can't see why it's not showing. Kevin should be back soon and he may know what we're both missing. Grey Shadow 08:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, welcome to you - I see the problem - but not the cause at this stage - it could well be a querk based on the unusually character in the title. It is odd the link can reach it and the display cannot. You are correct in thinking that sometimes the problem is an update timelag. This is a common cause of theis problem but this appears different. :: Kevinalewis  :  (Talk Page) / (Desk)  08:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hopefully solved appeared to be down to an inconstency of fullpagename referencing of special character article names - as I suspected - anyway should now be fixed - let me know if you have other problems. :: Kevinalewis  :  (Talk Page) / (Desk)  10:14, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Why do I even bother trying to set up a discussion page?
Apparently you just named two novels as top-important. As you are aware, I have been trying to start a discussion amongst members of the WikiNovels project about which books are to be top-important, but I don't know why I even bother when you bypass that discussion. Errabee 13:53, 25 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I've answered your comments. As I've stated there, I think we should use our own user talk pages to discuss about individual novels, and keep the general discussion at the Assessment talk page. Errabee 17:28, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Erroneous changes to Faerie Queene
This article contains portions of the original text which uses the archaic spelling of Edmund Spenser.--Ibis3 20:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)


 * So it does, thanks for pointing that out. I've reverted my incorrect changes and made a note of them so it wont happen again. CmdrObot 20:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

19th-century novels task force
Hi,. I'm starting up a 19th-century novels task force for WP:NOVELS. This would cover the works of many well-known authors, including Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Victor Hugo and Leo Tolstoy. If you think you'd be interested in supporting or participating in the task force, please let me know. Cheers. – Liveste [ talk • contrib] 10:37, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Calling all active WP:NOVELS members
 WikiProject Novels Roll Call WikiProject Novels is currently holding a roll call, which we hope to have annually. Your username is listed on the members list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active within the project. If you still consider yourself an active WP:Novels editor, please add your name back to the Active Members list. Also feel free to join any of our task forces and take a look at the project's Job Centre to get involved!

Next month we will begin the coordinator election selection process. We hope to have more involvement and input this time around! More news will be forthcoming. Thanks, everyone! María ( habla con migo ) 16:22, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Proposal for Mountaineering and Climbing Project
Hi, my name is Jarhed and I am an amateur rock climber and mountaineer. I recently reviewed some of the articles on these subjects, and I believe that they could use the attention of interested editors such as yourself. I have proposed a new project on these topics and I am interested in your opinion. You can find the proposal here: Mountaineering and Climbing Project Proposal. Thank you for your time, and have a great day.Jarhed (talk) 21:57, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:10, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
