DYK

A reminder that those articles that are eligible for the "Did You Know?" section of the Main Page should be submitted within five days of their creation or first edit. See the DYK rules and this dispatch about DYK.

The important issues are that the article must be no more than five days old (or have been expanded fivefold or more within the last five days), have a minimum of 1,500 characters (around 1.5 kilobytes), and have a "hook" that is cited with an inline citation.

For now, don't worry too much about what's meant by an "inline citation." Once you have the information there, I or others can format it appropriately. But you do need to do some preliminary research and flesh out the article.

Good luck! --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 09:40, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A reminder that this means that you should be putting this article in today. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 07:58, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To have a sense of what you should be aiming at as you work on your article, you are advised to look at relevant good articles and featured articles. Recent featured articles about novels, for instance, include El Señor Presidente and The General in His Labyrinth. These were written by a UBC class last semester. You may also want to consult the Novels Wikiproject. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 09:55, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

reminders: regular editing and plan

Two reminders, from our project page:

Over the course of the semester, you need to log in and make at least one edit, again however minor, to your article twice a week.

By September 19, each group should have their plan in place, and have written it up on their article's talk page.

Another reminder about regular editing: So far you have only made two edits. Do get up to speed... If you are having any problems, please drop me a note. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 19:05, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

October

Alejod3, I see that you have still made only two edits and the last one was well over a week ago... --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 20:32, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And you've still only made four edts... --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 08:21, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alejod3, still nothing nine days later... and only four edits the entire semester. What's up? --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 23:19, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

progress?

Alejod3, I'm a touch worried... As is verified in our progress reports, the rate of advance of Who Would Have Thought It? is slowing down... from 70 edits in the first period, to 34 and now 27. C'mon, don't give up... --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 00:31, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
