Sam Boardman-JacobsThis page is not in any categories. It is always a good idea to use categories to link new articles to other similar articles, and to prevent the article from being tagged as an orpan. I guess he should be in Category:English drama and Category:English-language writers? but I'm not too sure. It may also still be a stub - but it is definately getting well toward start-class. If you have access to reviews for his writing, then everything you are saying about the meaning and plot of his work should be cited. And if you have references for his scriptwriting with the BBC, cite that as well. It is in quite a good state for a first effort at an article, well done! Garrie 03:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Sam Boardman-Jacobs.All you really need is a small sentence "X is openly gay" and add a citation for it. I can't find anything in immediate reach, but as someone who I'm sure must know quite a bit about him, I'm sure you can. You might want develop some sentences about his work in gay and lesbian theatre, but as it stands it's quite good. Needs citations though! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 14:05, 23 April 2007 (UTC) AdoptionI'm willing to adopt you. I lived in Kyneton around the turn of the century. The article Indigenous Australians has all the content it needs, possible more then necessary. It's really at the end stage now just needing a little nudge to get to Featured article standards. What the article needs is copy editing(spelling, grammer, wikifying and layout), adding/cleaning up of citations for various sections/statement, linking to associated articles and sense checking of stats against sources. Gnangarra 13:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC) User:Baby ifritah/Robbery Under ArmsDoesnt really matter it's still in user space. Normally when sections disappears its because you left a reference open you had <ref/> instead of </ref>. I also added reference tag to the reference section you see that all the sources now appear but they need to be formatted so that they can be read see WP:CITE for details on layout. Also trivia sections are disliked, generally if the information is important enough to be included in the article then do using prose in a specific section. Another point is that the lead should be a summary of the article, such that any fact in the lead is expanded upon in the main text of the article. Books movies etc normally include a section on critics both at time of publishing and at various releases, even more so when its historically acclaimed like this is. Anyhow the layout looks fine I'm off for the night but drop me a note if have any questions and I'll answer when I'm back on. Gnangarra 14:29, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Robbery Under ArmsI have added a single reference to a copy I have seen as a basis for a full reference section. I have also rationised the footnotes as you suggested. It is possible for some paper based repeated footnoting to perhaps make use of a "reference" entry to the work with footnotes making use of this with specific page numbers.

Welcome to Novels WikiProjectHi, and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels". A few features that you might find helpful:
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the members, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 13:16, 4 May 2007 (UTC) Response to questionI have responded on my talk page to this. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 13:17, 4 May 2007 (UTC) Oz litPlease do not take my didsain on the oz project page the wrong way - its just that starting with one WP (I have been involved in starting a few - not in every detail but getting the various wizs to help out etc) I would say start with one - and if it gets too big then split up - rather than the other way around - very good idea - have you seen any in other countries/place that are up and running? that would be the other thing to do - see how other countries have stuff SatuSuro 02:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC) Hey the oz lit main page was for a while appropriated by some jerk who thought oral poetry was the central aspect of oz lit. Amongst some eds - they are either historically or geographically challenged to the point of embarrsment. I suppose my suggestion is to start with the new project- and when it gets too big break out into other things- rather than the other way around. So we need the start - there are hundreds of oz poets and novelists who simply are stubs or not even there - either by state, or by era - my teenagers are computer obsessed - and i thats any indication theres a whole generation of australians who are doomed to have their cultural history lost if things like this wikipedia project dosnt inject a sense of curiosity in users of wikipedia - which is why I say more power to the oz lit project and lets get on with it! and scuse late night ramblings - cheers SatuSuro 13:52, 5 May 2007 (UTC) Wikiproject Aust LitHI Baby ifritah, as your adopter recommend that you dont go it alone in establishing the project the work involved in establishing then maintaining is very time consuming. I suggest that you listen to the advice of User:SatuSuro who just started WP:NTA and also seek out advice from User:cj. I'll help if you do decide to go ahead with the project, but Australian literature isnt an area where I have detailed knowledge. Gnangarra 01:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC) Hey v busy today - will post long rumbuctious objectionable charles bukowski type rave about the whole thing this pm or tomoorow - if cj finds himself mentioned and numps in - fine - otherwise I'll out waits tom - and think of a few sollipsistic crunches of terms to get the whole damned thing running on chicken feet before you can work out the hell I am up to - heheh - tonight and may the babe sleep well SatuSuro 04:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC) Be good if you canemail as thereare someoff wikicomments aboutall ofthis stuffcheersSatuSuro 04:09, 6 May 2007 (UTC) The Novels WikiProject Newsletter: Issue XII - May 2007The May 2007 issue of the Novels WikiProject newsletter has been published.

OoopsForogt to say im trying to get cj help to get it up and out now - sorry forgot to leave a message. oops bad form sorry SatuSuro 03:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC) Hey you have two at your sub page - one should be still 'out there!' SatuSuro 06:19, 7 May 2007 (UTC) Plot problemsAnd the easy question is!? I certainly agree with your caution. However these issues of "only Plot" and "too much plot", and "in-universe" and "tone" are a general blight here and the volume of the problem is immense. I would use {{tone}}, {{plot}} and occasionally {{advert}} if that is too blatant. Then I would try and get your "Australian literature" group up and running and see if you can gather a few editors to focus on the national prose article collection. Why I say this is the original editors seem often unwilling, unable or just plain "gone" and will never return to their work. It seems more productive to gather others to improve the articles. We can establish a Novels task force to support this initiative and hopefully we can focus some effort. If I knew some of the works I would feel more able to contribute more myself. Trust that helps - at least a bit :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 12:31, 8 May 2007 (UTC) Given the way you are adding {{plot}} I'm not sure it is the most appropriate. The template says quite a bit about "plot" length and you are adding it the article that sometimes bearly have more than a couple fo sentences. So I'm not sure this is best. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 13:45, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
LolCheck out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_talk:Australian_novels - and the image - I thoink we need to call in a good template image rather than a basket ball :) SatuSuro 14:24, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Congrats on your grad anyway !!!SatuSuro 14:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC) hi, & a 'to do'hello. good to see more anarchists here, & WP:ALIT was a very good idea. i've started a 'to do' list User:Bsnowball/draft compiled from the reds in oz novel & poets lists, the oz project 'to do' list & the left-overs from here User:Stumps/To_do, it's heavily biased towards 'serious' lit but it's a start. where shld it go in the project? ben ⇒ bsnowball 15:55, 10 May 2007 (UTC) lit to literaturenot a good idea - Im off till late tonight - will try to give a reasoned explanation why SatuSuro 10:16, 11 May 2007 (UTC) CopyrightYou're right, copyright has expired on photos taken in Australia before 1955. Many libraries and repositories mislead the public by leaving contradictory notices on their websites. Whether it's deliberate or laziness in fixing the website I'm not sure, but either way, its safe to just ignore. —Moondyne 15:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

This is an automated delivery by KevinalewisBot -- 15:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC) Robbery Under ArmsHi Baby Thanks for leaving such useful notes in the discussion section of this article (and for writing it in the first place.) I enjoyed the novel over the Christmas break, and it was useful to know what should have been in the article so I knew what to look for when reading it. I've added (possibly too much) plot outline and (possibly too little) themes to the article. I doubt I would have bothered without your quality start to the page.WotherspoonSmith (talk) 13:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC) The Novels WikiProject Newsletter - Issue XXI - February 2008

While researching her, I noticed that you did already some considerable work. It's too late in the day now (midnight), but I will place the material I have so far onto my userpage tomorrow or Tuesday, so you can have a look at it. Maybe we can launch some kind of co-operation on this. On the other hand, it seems to me that you might no longer be all that active here anymore, in which case I will just pinch your work :-) All the best, Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

He knows that in the future some demoni people will serve Lord Advaita. Text 123 They will refer to Lord Advaita by the name "Shri Krishna". In this way they will reject the words of the true Vaishnavas. Text 124 These sinners will thus disobey the devotees who affirm that Advaita is "the greatest Vaishnava". Text 125 Many persons will consider themselves the followers of Lord Advaita, but they will not have the power to see how in the future they will be punished. Text 126 Lord Chaitanya, the crest jewel of they who know everything, knew all this. Therefore He did something to try to stop this from happening. Text 127 By punishing His mother, Lord Chaitanya showed the result that comes from offending Lord Advaita or any other Vaishnava. Text 128 No one can protect a person who has offended a Vaishnava. Text 129 Therefore one should avoid persons who offend Vaishnava. Text 130 One should avoid an offender, even if the offender is otherwise very qualified. A little association with an offender will make one fall down. Text 131 Who has the power to understand why the Lord gives punishment? By punishing His mother, He taught everyone. Text 132 Anyone who blasphemes they who use the word `Vaishnava" to address Lord Advaita will be punished. He will perish. Text 133 Lord Chaitanya is theSupreme Personality of Godhead, the master of all. To be called His follower is very great praise. Text 134 Without any intention to deceive, Lord Chaitanya openly said that Lord Nityananda is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. Text 135 By Lord Nityananda's mercy I know Lord Chaitanya. By Lord Nityananda's mercy I know the Vaishnavas. Text 136 By Lord Nityananda's mercy offenses are destroyed. By Lord Nityananda's mercy one attains devotion to Lord Vishnu. Text 137 Blasphemy directed to Lord Nityananda's servants never enters my mouth. Day and night I happily sing Lord Chaitanya's glories Text 138 I carefully serve Lord Nityananda's devotees. Lord Chaitanya is the life and wealth of Lord Nityananda's servants. Text 139 A person who has only a little good fortune will not become Lord Nityananda's servant, for Lord Nityananda's servant is able to see Lord Chaitanya. Text 140 Anyone who hears this story of Lord Visvarupa becomes a servant of the limitless Supreme Personality of Godhead. He feels that Lord Nityananda is his very life. Text 141 Lord Nityananda and Lord Visvarupa do not have different bodies. This Mother Saci knew. Some other great souls also knew. Text 142 Glory to Lord Nityananda, who takes shelter of Lord Chaitanya! Glory, glory to Lord Nityananda, who is thousand-faced Ananta Sesha! Text 143 O Lord Nityananda, O king of Gauda-desa, glory to You! Who can attain Lord Chaitanya without first attaining Your mercy? Text 144 Anyone who loses Lord Nityananda will not be happy in this life. Text 145 Will I some day see Lord Chaitanya, Lord Nityananda, and their associates all thogether in one place? Text 146 Lord Chaitanya is my master. With great faith and hope I meditate on Him within my heart. Text 147 I bow down before Lord Advaita's feet. I pray that he will always be dear to me and that He will always stay in my thoughts. Text 148 The two moons Shri Krishna Chaitanya and Shri Nityananda are my life and soul. I, Vrindavana dasa, sing the glories of Their feet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.132.82.156 (talk) 14:09, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
