Critical reaction websites?

Is there a aggregate data website for books? Something like Rotten Tomatoes, but obviously for a different medium. EVula 18:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A request for the project page

Would it be ok to link the discussion on the proposed notability criteria for books WP:BK on the main page of the project? I think the input from project members could really help to shape this guideline. I already put a notice on this talk page a couple of months ago and this did attract a couple of comments but putting it on the project page as something the project should look at would make sense. Thanks. Pascal.Tesson 17:07, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

criteria for infobox "influences"?

There really need to be some clear guidelines for who to include in writers influencing and influenced by an author.

At the moment, it's totally the subjective judgment of individual editors as to who should be included.

Short story collections

I have just read The Collected Stories of Vernor Vinge and I am interested in creating an article for it. I see that the collection is already somewhat described in the Vernor Vinge article itself, but a seperate article seems appropriate to me. Looking through various articles I have seen short story collections included in the authors page and in their own pages, but with no mention of any preference or guidelines for creating these articles in WikiPedia:WikiProject Books or its child projects. Do any guidelines exist? Is anyone interesting in helping me to create a template and guidelines for short story collections if nothing already exists? -- Andrew Sullivan Cant 05:33, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
