Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title Adam Bede for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

[edit] Split the Article

Do split the article, I think it benifets because when I click From Russia With Love (or any Bond film) It normally starts up the top and the picture is novel and the film is halfway down. Broncopaul 10:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Each seperate piece of art needs a seperate article. See Revenge of the Sith ...._(Complain)^{(Let us to it pell-mell)} 00:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes split it. As should all films be split from the Novels. The films dominate the article's eventhough the each book should have it's own article. The pages become clearer and more inviting to add and work on them, they are to messy now. Allard 00:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree that it should be split, as should all the Bond movies and novels. Many of the movies are loosely based on the novels and are not very similar. Tetzcatlipoca 15:59, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

The film should be split from the novel just as the other ones are. Wikipedia should be consistent. 7 October 2006

Agree. I surprised this one even needs a vote: all the other Bond movies are in their own seperate articles. Heck, I'll do it the first free moment I get. MI6agent 17:19, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I split the article, with film info going to From Russia with Love (film). I can't find any precedent for soundtracks being in separate articles, so I stuck the soundtrack section in the film article. Cheers!--Kchase T 19:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CSI: Death of Grant

I checked and he (Grant) is both stabbed in the femoral triangle area and, finally, shot several times with the book gadget. I left "killed" in the main page. Therefore I was wrong about the "stabbed, not shot" part; but, since: he 1.isn't killed instantly and 2. massive hemorrhage is apparent, we (I) can argue that it was the massive hemorrhage that killed Grant, which came both from trauma in the femoral artery (as Bond originally intended) and the gunshots. What did him in, finally, are the shots; nevertheless, the stabbing played a large part in the hemorrhage. To conclude, I think 'killed' is more accurate than simply 'shot' and far more accurate than 'stabbed' (as I mentioned in my original edit). But I think I am nitpicking here... --Haris 18:41, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Killed is fine. I guess I forgot he was stabbed first, but he wasn't killed until he was shot by the book thing so that's the only reason I reverted. Thanks for clearing this up. K1Bond007 03:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

As I said: I was nitpicking. Sorry for that... old man. --Haris 05:56, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Book image

At some point one of the book cover images was replaced, but I have reverted this change. Specifically, a low-quality photograph of the 1960 Pan edition replaced a scan of the 1959 Pan edition. I reverted this because at the NovelsWikiProject we're supposed to illustrate the earlier edition if possible, plus the image of the 1959 edition was better in quality than the non-scan that was used for the 1960 edition. We actually have too many editions here so I will remove the 1970 nude cover which I had uploaded back when there were no other editions illustrated. 23skidoo 15:53, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Death of Darko Kerim

Darko was not killed by Red Grant, as this article suggests, but rather by the MGB man, Benz. This scenario is depicted at the end of Chapter 23, "Out of Greece." Furthermore, Grant himself states in Chapter 26, "The Killing Bottle" that: 'This Turk of yours had to be got rid of. I gather that took a bit of doing,' indicating that he had no part in the murder. I'm a bit new to this Wikipedia business and thought it more appropriate to bring this correction to attention here. Perhaps someone familiar with protocol, standards, and the like can make the corrections. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.9.250.6 (talk) 03:55, 4 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Citation

There is a "citation needed" for the claim that the film version of From Russia With Love is well regarded by critics and fans. I'm new to Wiki, so I don't know if Rotten Tomatoes or the IMDB are acceptable sources, but they show the film as highly rated.
