Systemic BiasRight now the children's literature pages are overwhelmingly United States-centric. Even the usage of Category:British children's literature sets up American children's literature as normative, as the categories are currently used. CategoriesCriteria for inclusionGenres
BooksWhat books get their own articles?
AuthorsWhat authors get their own articles? Probably almost all non-self-published authors, per bio guidelines that specify Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more Fictional characters and place namesOur articles are violating Wikipedia's fictional character notability guidelines all over the place (eg. Daja, Sunset Towers). I think we should do some massive merges of character and place, and then, if the articles get too long, break them out again. TemplatesTemplate:Childrens-literature-WP Add this template {{childrens-literature-WP}} onto article's talk page relating to Children's literature (Don't subst: this template)
Place this template onto New Participant's Talk Pages. (subst: this template) {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Children's literature/Welcome}} BooksWe should use infoboxes. No reason to specialize beyond Template:Infobox Book, I think. We should make a substitution template, or some easy way for non-knowledgable editors to create good book stubs. Should they be broken out in types such as those in genre, above? AuthorsAny reason not just to encourage use of {{subst:Biography}}? Young Adult vs Children'sStub completionThere are hundreds of Children's literature stubs, Children's books stubs, and Dr. Seuss book stubs. As pure encyclopedia writing goes, these suckers need filling out. Deborah-jl Talk 03:38, 3 March 2006 (UTC) |
