[edit] WikiProject Novels

Hello, Dozenthey, I just wanted to commend you on your work so far in writing Loss and Gain and The Nemesis of Faith, two very promising 19th century novel articles. I was going to officially "Welcome" you to WikiProject Novels, but I noticed that although you've placed the project's userbox on your page, you haven't added your name to the Members list. I hope you choose to officially join the project, especially since you're doing such great work in a very underrepresented field. Whether or not you join, welcome to Wikipedia! If you have any questions about the inner-workings of Wikipedia, please feel free to ask me. :) María (habla conmigo) 12:33, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to WikiProject Theatre!

Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list! Our goal is to make Wikipedia the the finest, most comprehensive resource of theatre topics available online. As a project member, you might like to introduce yourself on our talk page and maybe add the project membership userbox to your user page.

If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and browse our page of useful templates. When you have a moment, please take some time to review our article structure guidelines for theatre articles, which give a handy guide to sections you should try to include in articles about theatre. If you would like suggestions about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Project to do list and in our tasklist.

I'm so happy to see that you are editing The Last Man! I'm currently working on a Mary Shelley featured topic. I've only just begun.

[edit] Mathew Arnold

Thank you for your addition to the Mathew Arnold page, but I'm not sure if "sage writer" belongs in the first sentence. My concern is two-fold: 1) the term is new and likely to be confusing -- with a plentiful background in literature I would not have read it the way it is defined in the wikipedia article for the term; I had assumed it was an awkward version of the more conventional wisdom writer, a term that sits on Arnold only with great difficulty, and, being a term that Arnold knew, one I have little doubt he would have laughingly rejected; 2) other terms already exist that seem to cover very similar ground: "polemicist" is a much more common term and a term that has been applied, deservedly, to Arnold by a number of his critics.

How many writers have applied the term "sage writer" to Arnold? If it is only one writer, then it might be more appropraite to add a comment later in the article. The article really could use a section on critical response.

Frankly, it seems to me that the argument around "sage writing" is, at present, a little too new and unestablished to warrant its unsupported use as you have it here (and, frankly, in Ruskin and Thoreau articles). Quite honestly, my own reading of Arnold would suggest it is not at all an inapt assessment, but for now it should really appear with Landow's specific assessments of Arnold intact as they are needed for proof that Arnold does indeed belong within this genre and as part of the process of establishing that this may, indeed, be a genre of merit.
