Project news
  • Welcome to a new calendar year (for most of us!)
  • During this year we have seen huge a growth in the number of editors contributing to the project and a massive increase in the number of articles linked to the project. We have managed to raise the quality of significant numbers of articles. But with this ever changing beast that is wikipedia there is no room of complacency and there is a mountain of editing work still to do. The member project space has developed and the latest developments are more Outreach options for your use and the establishment of the first "Task Force" for special interest areas within the overall purview of the project.
  • There are now well over 7000 articles taged as part of the project!

Novels Wikiproject scope

[edit]

I am led to believe light novels are our of scope - I have to admit they are unknown to me but, graphic novels, manga are out and I am told light novels are rather similar to elements of these. If you can show the levels of similarity to normal narrative prose fiction novels then we can review this.! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.

  • After lengthy discussions about the {{Infobox_Book}} it has settled down at a possibly permanent layout. Any suggestions are still of course welcome.

Hello, 9muses...

[edit]

I think you've done an incredible job so far with the Shin Angyo Onshi article, and I would love to help. I've been tweaking it here and there, and was hoping to expand the article a bit. I'm thinking that there is enough info on the main characters (Munsu, Sando, Bang Ja) for them to have their own page. Maybe there can be a format similar to the Bleach and Naruto characters (character outline, synopsis, weapons, etc). Also, do you think there could be a heading about the omakes? The omakes are almost like a part of the story themselves! :) I've been slowly adding the Korean translations to the names. Since this is my first translation I've done I'm slow, lol. I'll also work on citing some of the things you mentioned. :) Please let me know what you think! Talchum (talk) 18:46, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
