I put Requiem for a Nun on the list with the other novels, as it isnt actually a play so much as a literary expiriment.Fragility 18:15, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Yoknapatawpha County → Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi – Rationale: The article notes specifically that the fictional county is located in Mississippi. — ArkansasTraveler 23:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Survey

Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with ~~~~

Oppose, that would be the same style as real counties, e.g. Jackson County, Mississippi. A fictional county should not use the same style. --Cam 01:37, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Same reasoning as Cam. older ≠ wiser 13:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not moved. —Nightst a llion (?) 19:17, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redundance

Does it need to explain Faulkner's etymology for Yoknapatawpha twice? The explanation is in the first paragraph, and appears later in the introduction. One or the other would make more sense. User:Snyrt

Fixed it; thought it worked better as its own paragraph rather than in the opening. User:Snyrt

Is this article necessary?

I read in National Geographic that ALL of Faulkner's stories were based in Yoknapatawpha. I haven't read but a fraction of them so I can't confirm or deny this, but if true, what is the point of this list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.62.177.55 (talk) 00:49, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and it's notable by itself. Bearian (talk) 21:40, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Several of Faulkner's novels were not set in Yoknapatawpha - Soldiers' Pay, Mosquitoes, Pylon, The Wild Palms [If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem], and A Fable. I'd assume also that some short stories were not set there, although the current list of short stories set in Yoknapatawpha seems wildly incomplete. john k (talk) 17:20, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In universe style

Shouldn't this be rewritten to avoid making it sound as if the fictional history actually occured? --Khajidha (talk) 11:07, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
