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) 09:56, 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 nine edits. Do get up to speed... If you are having any problems, please drop me a note. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 19:15, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

edit summaries

Leanna1... Just one thing. I see from your contributions that lately you're not using edit summaries very much. They're a bit tiresome to do, I know, but's often very helpful if you use them. So that when someone looks at an article history, they can see more or less what each edit did. I recommend you use them. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 08:15, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
