Alice in Sunderland
Given the fact that I'm not an admin, it's probably best resolved through the normal channels, as it clearly is a copyvio in its current state, and needs the appropriate authorization placed on the page. Note that my reverting it now would not mean that someone else will tag it again.

I would offer some caution on this page however. You should be aware of the guidelines offered under WP:NOT, specifically 'Wikipedia is not a crystal ball'. An article that includes phrases such as 'is nearly finished' or 'will be completed in ...' is a likely target for WP:AFD. While the latest John Grisham novel or Star Wars film would likely escape this, it is a fact that nearly every forward-looking article regarding the arts that is identified in this category is deleted, and once deleted, getting it back on wikipedia is actually more difficult as it then qualifies under the Speedy deletion category of 're-creation of previously deleted material'. My suggestion to you is that you create a small entry on the Bryan Talbot page until Alice in Sunderland is released, then build the article fresh. MNewnham 19:09, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

thanks - James is pursuing things through the regular channels. I've seen the first 300 pages of Alice and the script for the whole thing, so I know it's actually happening, but I can see the issues here certainly. There are always the details on the bryan-talbot.com site to point people out to. Marypcb 19:59, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
