WikiProject Novels

Hello, Dozenthey, I just wanted to commend you on your work so far in writing Loss and Gain and The Nemesis of Faith, two very promising 19th century novel articles. I was going to officially "Welcome" you to WikiProject Novels, but I noticed that although you've placed the project's userbox on your page, you haven't added your name to the Members list. I hope you choose to officially join the project, especially since you're doing such great work in a very underrepresented field. Whether or not you join, welcome to Wikipedia! If you have any questions about the inner-workings of Wikipedia, please feel free to ask me. :) María (habla conmigo) 12:33, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Theatre May 2008 Newsletter

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter (May 2008)

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter! Issue 3 - May, 2008 Welcome to our third newsletter - we've got lots to get through this month so without further ado, let's crack on... The Big Debate - Character Lists in Play Articles For those of you who haven't headed over to our talk page recently - you've been missing out! Throughout the past month there's been great discussion about the issue of character lists in play articles. The aim is to form a standard presentation of character lists to be used on all play articles so if you'd like to make your voice heard on the issue then check out the talk page now. Collaboration of The Month Yet again this month's COTM has remained unchanged as no-one has nominated any articles to become the new incumbent. Quick - get yourself down to the COTM page and nominate an article for next month! Assessment The number of articles at the Assessment page are growing - if you're feeling a little lost and don't know where to begin to help us out, head on down to the Assessment page and give us a hand. New members The past month has seen Dereksmootz, Duckie for broadway, Dozenthey, Fewster, Nrswanson, Kleinzach and Broadweighbabe join us - welcome to you all! It's wonderful to see such a large influx of new members. If you've been editing a theatre-related article recently and noticed another user helping you who also appears to have an interest for the subject of theatre, why not drop them a line and invite them over to the project? HELP! We're crying out for people to help us out wherever possible. We are currently looking for members to volunteer to give us a hand in several areas. If you can do any of the following, please drop us a line at the talk page: Newsletter Editor(s) - Always fancied yourself as a bit of a journalist? Perhaps you could help us write this newsletter - it doesn't take long to compile. Maybe you'd like to help but can't commit on a regular basis? In that case, why not rally round a few other members of the project to help you out and take it in turns each month to compose the newsletter? Mailmen/women - If writing the newsletter isn't your bag then maybe you could help in the distribution of this fine document? As our membership grows it becomes quite laborious to send it to everyone. It's only a quick task that needs doing once a month, and really is just a case of copying and pasting a template onto our members talk pages. Portal editor(s) - It's come to our attention that the Theatre Portal hasn't been updated in a long time and we'd like to get someone, or a group of people to take charge of it and get it up to the standard of some of the great portals out there (e.g. the Comedy Portal, the Solar System Portal etc). And finally... Don't forget to add the WikiProject Theatre userbox to your userpage to spread the word about the project!

The Last Man

I'm so happy to see that you are editing The Last Man! I'm currently working on a Mary Shelley featured topic. I've only just begun. The Mary Shelley article itself is shaping up and I've started gathering bibliographies for all of her works. Would you like to work on The Last Man together? Awadewit (talk) 21:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

• Just let me know when you get back and we can work on the article. Happily, as we say here, "there are no deadlines at Wikipedia"! Awadewit (talk) 15:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Mathew Arnold

Thank you for your addition to the Mathew Arnold page, but I'm not sure if "sage writer" belongs in the first sentence. My concern is two-fold: 1) the term is new and likely to be confusing -- with a plentiful background in literature I would not have read it the way it is defined in the wikipedia article for the term; I had assumed it was an awkward version of the more conventional wisdom writer, a term that sits on Arnold only with great difficulty, and, being a term that Arnold knew, one I have little doubt he would have laughingly rejected; 2) other terms already exist that seem to cover very similar ground: "polemicist" is a much more common term and a term that has been applied, deservedly, to Arnold by a number of his critics.

How many writers have applied the term "sage writer" to Arnold? If it is only one writer, then it might be more appropraite to add a comment later in the article. The article really could use a section on critical response.

Frankly, it seems to me that the argument around "sage writing" is, at present, a little too new and unestablished to warrant its unsupported use as you have it here (and, frankly, in Ruskin and Thoreau articles). Quite honestly, my own reading of Arnold would suggest it is not at all an inapt assessment, but for now it should really appear with Landow's specific assessments of Arnold intact as they are needed for proof that Arnold does indeed belong within this genre and as part of the process of establishing that this may, indeed, be a genre of merit. Mddietz (talk) 16:28, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Please see my response to you on my User Page. Mddietz (talk) 22:08, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Dozenthey, I went ahead today and added a more descriptive comment on sage writing to the Matthew Arnold page. How does it look to you? Mddietz (talk) 17:57, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

James Anthony Froude‎ GA review

I'm so sorry, Dozenthey, but I added an addendum to my review regarding date/year linking per WP:DATE. I mistakenly wrote that full years need to be linked, but what I meant was full dates; i.e. July 8, 2008, not just 2008. I saw that you had already begun to make corrections based on my stupid mix up, so I'm truly sorry for wasting your time. That will teach me to review articles before I've had my tea. :) Take as long as you need on the article, there's no rush. María (habla conmigo) 17:23, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
