User talk:ArdClose

Hello there. I would like to answer your question about Randal Flagg and him also being named Nyarlathotep. I don't think anyone else has called him that except Glen when they were about to get arrested entering the desert. He names Nyarlathotep along with other names of beings who aren't the devil but is his messenger like Avatar. I'm sure King was referring to that we know Nyarlatho can take human form and how RF would be a perfect example of that. I hope this answers your question. Your friend, Bornmedicated on YouTube

Welcome, sorry for the delay in getting a message out. The project is slowly reorganizing. The Project page is a bit out of date and needs updating badly. Please check the talk page for more current information and please Tag, Tag, Tag, the talk pages of any article in this topic so we can start trying to coordinate work on articles and give us some suggestions on the talk page for how we can get this Project moving again.

Italics

I was under the impression that all stories go with italics, and in one of your edits to 
The Jaunt (short story), you said this was not so. I would like to make up my mistakes, as I added italics to a lot of short story articles, and I do not want to make a fool of myself by ignoring what may be the correct format. Could you tell me where it says that we are not supposed to italics for short stories?

Member news

The members list is currently under review so we have moved all past active member's name to a
WP:NOVELS editor, please add your name back to the Active Members List. You may also wish to add your name to any of our many Project Task Forces
.

Task force news

A Fantasy Literature task force has been proposed. Comments are welcomed on that proposal since we already have our own WikiProject Novels/Fantasy task force which is covered under our Novels WikiProject.

Novel-related news

Devil May Care, written by Sebastian Faulks ("writing as Ian Fleming"), has become Penguin Books fastest selling hardcover fiction title. It is the latest installment in the book series about British secret agent James Bond and was released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of late Bond creator Ian Fleming's birthday on May 28, 1908.

Me Cheeta: the Autobiography, written by a ghostwriter, is the autobiography of Cheeta the Chimp who is listed in the Guinness World Records as the oldest recorded non-human primate at the age of 76. He has appeared in various movie roles which included twelve Tarzan movies and even battled addiction to alcohol and cigars. The book is not published until October 1, but judges for the 2008 Guardian First Book Award were sent a early version and were so impressed that they have included it on the 10-strong longlist.

Time magazine as one of its 100 most influential people of 2008, has decided not to continue with writing her draft for Midnight Sun
after 12 chapters of the unfinished manuscript were leaked on the internet.

Current debates

Categories for Discussion has a series of discussions about whether to categorize certain specific types of fictional characters: double agents, dictators, characters with eidetic memory, etc. Advice from any Novels project members would be valuable in assisting them.

WikiProject Media franchises aims to help editors with the coordination of articles within the thousands of media franchises which exist and has requested input from our members. They are currently discussing a naming convention for franchise articles. Since this may affect one or more articles in our Novel project, they would like to get opinions before implimenting any changes.

From the Members

With the Newsletter being almost three months overdue, I have decided to take on the position of Editor to make sure it reaches you regularly on time each month. The Newsletter is meant to inspire and encourage our team of Editors and so my goal shall be to make it informative and interesting each issue.
We now have many positions vacant in our Project Team, so we are looking for members who have the time and interest to take on the various roles, details of which can be found at the Job Centre. Shortly a Coordinator nominations notice shall also be sent out to all members, which will commence the annual Coordinator selection process.
Next month's Newsletter will include a message from our Coordinator Maria, who will introduce herself and speak on our forthcoming elections for extra Coordinators.
Boylo (talk), Editor

Collaboration of the Month

This month's Collaboration has been selected by popular vote and is
Look Homeward, Angel.
The next collaboration is due for selection on 14 September, 2008 so cast your vote.

Newsletter challenge

Our last newsletter's challenge The Pure Land was completed by our member Maclean25, who also provided us with tipline news for this newsletter.

The first person to start the article is mentioned in the next newsletter. This month's article is Leslie Ann Moore's first book in her fantasy 'Griffin's Daughter' trilogy, which was named by the Independent Book Publishers Association as the 2008 Ben Franklin Award winner for Best First Fiction, Griffin's Daughter.
Note: This article was previously deleted due to lack of notability, but that now can be established since winning this award.

AfD nomination of The God That Failed (song)

I have nominated The God That Failed (song), an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The God That Failed (song). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 07:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My pleasure, ArdClose. I love researching and learning, so the saving of someone else's article comes as an extra-added bonus. But after two years of this, the over all "less is more" Wiki-zeitgeist has got to me, and I've thrown in the towel. Sometimes-- as in building an encylopedia, for example-- less is actually less. I got lucky (I really know absolutely nothing about Metallica) and found that essay, so the article survives on a technicality... until the next AfD trial... But why shouldn't we have an article on every song by a major band, just because, it's a song by a major band? Any information we can put together on it would be interesting, useful and... encyclopedic... But the Wiki-rules say no, "interesting" and "useful" are bad... My thoughts are that the purpose of an encyclopedia is to build up articles, not rules. Anyway, I've run around screaming about this kind of thing long enough, to no avail, and have retired to an off-Wiki research project. But do let me know if an anti-Deletionism rebellion ever gets started, I'll be happy to join in. Cheers! Dekkappai (talk) 19:17, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, ArdClose... took me a while to figure out what that note was in reference to :) Right-- an encyclopaedia of "the sum of human knowledge"... that's the line that lured me into contributing here. Unfortunately, the "if I haven't heard of it, it's not notable" crowd seems to have the upper hand these days... Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 22:42, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
