Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place — Ed 17 (talk)— 20:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC) ![]() 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 referred to as "Novels". A few features that you might find helpful:
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
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! — Ed 17 (talk)— 20:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC) In case you haven't seen it on your watchlist, I've posted some stuff for you at User talk:Kethra/The Softwire. Mr. Absurd ( talk) 06:09, 4 December 2008 (UTC) Hey there! Just a comment about something I've noticed from your work on PJ Haarsma. Help:Minor edits says that "a check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous version: typo corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearranging of text without modifying content". A few of your edits probably shouldn't have been marked as minor; it's not a big deal, and I'm not really bothered, but you might want to mark fewer edits as minor in future. Anyways, you're doing great work on the article! It's looking good. Mr. Absurd ( talk) 19:59, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi Kethra, your article is progressing well. I thought that you might be interested in the Did you know? category which is featured each day on the main Wikipedia page. Let me know what you think? I am under the impression that all articles are open to the category whether or not they are rated b-class or higher. Hag2 ( talk) 15:59, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Okay [after edit conflict]. I think we could use Anne Teedham's December 5 day as the beginning of the expansion day. See the difference between the two days here: [1]
next day, continuation...Kethra, we ran into a problem: [2] The only way I see to correct for this is to create two quick STUBS, one for each. A stub really does not need more than 2-3 sentences; however the concept behind a stub is that those sentences will then become an article. I believe both external links in the hook could evolve into separate articles of their own. What do you think? Also, there really is no hurry on this DYK thing. We can let the nomination evaporate, then try again later. I have a feeling that the 5x Rule means something like "...there only needs to be five edits", not 5 times the volume. So I will read through the rules for more clarity. Hag2 ( talk) 13:12, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Kethra, I don't like the spacing of the final two quote boxes. On a 800x600 screen, the righthand box is lost and greatly out of proportion to the main body of the article. I would suggest moving one of the boxes directly before the introductory material for the School visits (centered), and then placing the second box at the very end (also centered). Or: I would reccommend finding the exact, correct "em" (perhaps in a percentage?) so the quote boxes would float equidistant below the main body of the article, and thus there would be no mandatory "scrolling". Hag2 ( talk) 21:25, 10 December 2008 (UTC) Honine: Great addition! Let me know when you want to be nominated for the WP:GA. I think PJ Haarsma is ready. It seems to take a month from Nomination Day to review. Big backlog. Incidentally, I do not think a Good Article rating is really much to strive for unless you find a good reviewer, i.e. a person who is prepared to aid you in the direction of an A-Rating. But the GA nomination means that your WPBiography talkpage banner gets altered from B-Class to GA candidate (I think). Hag2 ( talk) 19:20, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

see my note above about the Images. Hag2 ( talk) 17:20, 15 December 2008 (UTC) Hi Kethra, I had to stop after the second paragraph of Synopsis. SYNOPSIS begins as a deeply envolved, analytical evaluation of thematic content, and I am slightly mind-blown, luv, after reading through the first two paragraphs. I'll return later if you feel that my copyediting is worthy. If not, feel free to revert as soon as you read it. There is nothing wrong with anything from the beginning of The Softwire through to and including the first two paragraphs of Synopsis; it is just that it is very difficult to concentrate when so much is expressed by the kind of ethereal writing which I encountered in Synopsis. Toby Ornott ( talk) 15:50, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
K-- I just began reading the first paragraph. I can see a need for continued copyediting. Shall I continue? Or would you prefer someone else? It will take me probably a day or two. boo Toby Ornott ( talk) 17:06, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
I think you made it into the DYK thingy!! See Queue 5. What happens now? The notice says that it will happen within three hours!!

The process usually takes a month--so if you would like, I would be happy to nominate the article. I strongly feel that it safely meets GA criteria and I doubt that it would fail.
