Help!
How do I add an entry suggestion? The guidelines say to add it at the most appropriate place, but there is no edit button visible. I checked at the top of the page as well as at the category, sub-category and letter. Anyway, here is the entry I'd like to see: The Player on the Other Side. This is a mystery novel by Theodore Sturgeon. The worth of this novel is pretty obvious from the comments quoted on Wik's Theodore Sturgeon page. 211.225.34.176 (talk) 03:26, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

I want to add page o Author and Poetess Erum Zehra From Pakistan Neha Zahid (talk) 08:50, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

- This confused me too. "Wikipedia:Requested articles/Arts and entertainment/Literature" seems to have no place for articles on national literatures which is maybe why Wikipedia's article nomenclature here is somewhat confusing/inconsistent. I suggest every country be given an article e.g. "Xlandian literature" (which might involve renaming some entitled "Xlandian writers") which would then link to other articles ("Xlandian novelists", "Xlandian poets", etc.). Some countries at the moment have no information on literature at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.17.189.21 (talk) 03:54, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Missing close ref tag
I was puzzled why several redlinked entries were not appearing and discovered that this edit omitted a close ref tag. The redlinks affected were: Mary Daheim, Maureen Moss, Megliore degli Abati and Meo Abbracciavacca. I have now added the close tag here. -84user (talk) 13:14, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Alphabetizing
It should be noted somewhere that proper names need to be entered as they will appear on the articles (e.g. John Smith...not Smith, John) otherwise when the article is created that won't be reflected here. (real example: Carew, Opal:Opal Carew) WQUlrich (talk) 20:16, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Would it be a good idea to have a big banner encouraging people to place the articles in alphabetical order by surname? I know it already says that's what you should do on this page at least twice, but maybe a banner at the top of this page (or even on the edit page, so they'll see it no matter where they click edit) could help.

 * I've actually added a subpage for requests needing alphabetisation. Requests to be alphabetized. This is purely to make cleaning up the page easier, but if it's a better way of getting the page organised, feel free to use it. Lithium (talk) 11:22, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Cleaning up Gaelic literature template
I've been cleaning out the red links from Template:Gaelic literature and posting them here. Unfortunately, I don't have any details for most of the authors, so they will come with summaries like "Ulster Irish-language writer". Also, I cannot guarantee that they meet Wikipedia notability criteria. Alázhlis (talk) 03:46, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
