[edit] Comment

Hi, this article isn't serius. It need biblography and more reference about genres. Like Mikhail Bakhtin, Amy J. Devitt, Tzvetan Todorov, etc. I could do that but I afraid that all my changes will be erase. --204.116.89.215 03:11, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Be bold

Edit it.

It does need work. Don't be afraid of your changes being erased. If they need proofreading or whatever, that can be arranged. Be bold. This is Wikipedia! Paul Haymon 01:33, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] proposal for reformating the article:

  • Separate genres by literary genres (a literary genre is a genre but not all genres are literary genres). Talk about a discursives genres (bakhtin).
  • Explain a first definition like a category or taxonomy (aristotelian proposal) of something...
  • Examples of genres:
  • E-mail, memorandum,news articles, thesis, article encyclopedical etc... (see Devit)
  • Examples of literary genres:
    • Novel, poetry, etc..

[edit] Scope of article

In fact, this subject is far more complex than is suggested by the current article. There are multiple uses and definitions of genre (e.g. consider genre works). this will require, not only considerable expansion, but a real embracing of the many meaning of the term. In other words, I don't believe this is merely an article, but more a project. Pinkville 23:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shouldn't webcomics be inside Comic?

Isn't webcomics a subgenre of comics? I mean, I KNOW webcomics deserve their own page as they are that broad in scope, but I think it is important to realize that they are part of the normal comic genre as well. Can anyone herlp here Corrupt one 00:33, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Age catigories?

I noticed that there was a divison mentioned that used age catigories as the way of deviding works. I wonder, can ANY method of dividing up works into organization be allowed? If so, then the dewy decimal system will have to be added. Corrupt one (talk) 23:41, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
