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 The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling 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.

Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

I've revised the page, mostly just the style. The page is still not complete; every Devdas film should be listed. Zora 10:01, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] (based on the 11th version of the novel)

(based on the 11th version of the novel)

Does that mean that there were published lots of versions of the novel? --Error 22:44, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

So I gather. I got that from another source that seemed authoritative. I don't know much about Bengali literature, and I would defer to anyone who does. Zora 00:56, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Yes, this page is a disgrace.

[edit] Devdas (2002 film)

I created this page so that it could have a film info box... therefore anything specifically about that film should be linked there and it shouldn't overtake this page. Any generalized reference or reference to older versions should remain here until Devdas (1955 film), etc. is created. gren グレン ^? 07:15, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dola Re Dola

I eliminated the section about the song "Dola Re Dola". This section really didn't serve a point in this article -- it's about the novella, and not any of the films, plus it sounds incredibly POV to me. If someone wants to talk about the song in the above mentioned article about the 2002 film, that's fine, but it just doesn't belong here. Gujuguy 04:22, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
