Would someone please add a disambiguation page for the name John Nichols? There are at least two USA authors by that name on the national stage.Briancady413 (talk) 14:56, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Milagro Beanfield War

In the article, Milagro Beanfield War refers to an article about the movie, not the novel. At this point, like the other 2 books in the series, there is no article about the novel. The Milagro Beanfield War article's title should be altered to indicate that it is for the film, and then a stub article created for the novel, and the other two novels in the series. ---Charles 05:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes we create different articles for works that have different manifestations, and sometimes we discuss all versions in a single article. The difference is usually the length of the article in question. In this case, I think we ought to leave the link to the movie article, which we should expand to include information about the novel, at least until there is enough info to split the article in two.--Rockero 15:56, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like a good option for now. Having never read the book, I cannot say much about it, but I am particularly interested in a discussion of the differences between the novel and the movie. Considering the length of the novel, I assume a great deal was excised for the screenplay. ---Charles 17:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
