Notability of This Beautiful Republic

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on This Beautiful Republic, by Nuttah68 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because This Beautiful Republic seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting This Beautiful Republic, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 11:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Missing image Image:Fire.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Fire.jpg, by Strangerer, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Fire.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Fire.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Fire.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 14:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

• It's an empty description page for a Commons-hosted image. This shouldn't be a controversial deletion. There's nothing on the page. --Strangerer (Talk) 17:21, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
  • I think you're misunderstanding. The image will stay. I want to delete the empty description page. --Strangerer (Talk) 17:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• I tagged it for speedy deletion not because it was a missing or corrupt image but because it was an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image. As you can see from the edit history, the page was empty when I tagged it. It should be deleted. The image won't go away when the description page is deleted because the image is on the Commons, not Wikipedia, and the software lets the image show through. --Strangerer (Talk) 17:28, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

The 2007 Wikipedia Selection for schools, targeted around the UK National Curriculum, included 39 novels. Volunteers at Wikipedia had suggested articles considered valuable and relevant for inclusion. See here and the WP Signpost news. Novel related news Shantaram to marry Princess Gregory David Roberts, author of Shantaram, a reformed Australian convicted armed robber has just announced his engagement to Princess Francoise Sturdza of Switzerland, who he plans to marry soon. His life has changed dramatically for the best after the release of his first novel four years ago, which depicted his life in India after escaping from prison. A movie based on his novel is planned for production later this year, starring Johnny Depp in the lead role. [1] Shannara series purchased by Warner Bros The film rights to The Shannara Series by Terry Brooks have been picked up by Warner Bros. They plan to first develop The Elfstones of Shannara, the second book in the series as the opening movie and writers are now being sought for the adaptation.

Re: dc Talk

Hey! Brilliant idea. Just read ur post and it left me wondering "Now why in the world didn't I think of that???". Of course we can add it. Please - go ahead and add it! ;) Btw, I have come across you making useful contribs before. Just thought I'd let you know that too! If interested, please head over to the Christian music portal which is currently under construction. Please help in any way you can, if you have the time. Thanks!

Rush of Fools

I have returned the references used to create the article. I know they are not inline citations, but since they were used to create the article they need to be kept. I had an admin restore the This Beautiful Republic article that admins were inappropriately speedy deleting to my userspace. I created an article that was very well-sourced and demonstrated their notability as they were on the charts. I don't understand how they could be speedy deleting well-sourced articles like that one was. Royalbroil 03:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

The Novels WikiProject Newsletter: Issue XIV - July 2007

Archives  |  Tip Line  |  Editors The Novels WikiProject Newsletter Issue XIV - July 2007
Project news The demand for fair use rationales for book covers has generated a discussion among wikipedians and also WP:NOVELS members. See the discussion here it has some potentially very important ideas to consider and possibly contribute to. Member news The project has currently 247 members, 11 joined & 0 leavers since the last newsletter at the start of June 2007 Other news The French and Francophone literature portal was created in June. Novel related news The Novel - (author notes by kind permission of Gregory David Roberts) What is a novel? What are the elements that must be found in any piece of writing for it to be considered a novel? I think it fair to say that traditional definitions of the word “novel” work along these lines: A novel is a fictitious prose story of book length. In my view, a novel has six basic elements: 1) It must have a society of characters; 2) They must be undergoing transformations; 3) And those must be in the course of a sustained prose narrative; 4) The sustained prose narrative must be impelled by a plot; 5) And it must be unified by clearly discernible central themes; 6) And to the extent possible, it must be universalised by a complex architecture of allegorical and symbolical sub-strata. If I write those six basic elements into a single definition, I come up with this: A novel is a society of characters, undergoing transformations, in the course of a sustained prose narrative, which is impelled by a plot, unified by clearly discernible central themes, and universalised by a complex architecture of allegorical and symbolical sub-strata. item courtesy of Boylo (talk · contribs) Current debates After lengthy discussions about the {{Infobox_Book}} it has settled down at a possibly permanent layout. Any suggestions are still of course welcome. Also the important book cover debate mentioned first above.	From the Members Welcome to the fourteenth issue of the Novels WikiProject's newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do.

Newsletter challenge Last month's Pity is Not Enough challenge was quickly written by our two eager Novel's WP members Imasleepviking (talk · contribs) and Yllosubmarine (talk · contribs) from the US.
