Don't know what anyone would have to say about my edits but go ahead and talk if you want!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!
I know that there is already a page for this award, but a few weeks ago I came upon a internet article saying that the Academy was considering giving the award for "Best Juvenille Actor/Actress" annually from 2010 on word. I didn't think much of it until I found yet another article saying the exact same thing. I have been looking around for both articles but haven't found any. Can any one help with this?

Hi. I had never heard anything about this, until I saw your post on the Academy Award Talk Page. I looked all over the Internet, and I could not find anything at all related to this. Were you ever able to find the articles that you were referring to? If so, I would like to see them. Please reply at my Talk Page. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 21:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC))[reply]
After much searching, I found both articles but, going back to the main page of the website that the first article was posted on, found that it was a uncredible gossip site and that most of the information presented was false. The second article used the first article as backup so that one was probably false as well. I'm going to remove the section I put on the talk page and unless someone wants to delve deeper into the subject, I'm just going to let it go.

Yes, that makes sense. I checked with the Academy Award's official site ... and it did not mention a word about this. If anything, that is exactly where we would find this "news" (at the official Academy's website) -- if indeed it was a credible story. Plus, it does not make sense, any way. Why would they want to re-instate the Juvenile Award? The young actors and actresses do just fine, when they compete along with the adults in the regular competitive categories. Thanks for getting back to me! Much appreciated. Can you please send me the links for the two bogus stories? I would like to read them, for laughs. Thank you. (Joseph A.

The Clique
Hi! I read your comment on the Clique series talk page and I have to say I agree with you. These are some of the worse written articles I've come across on Wikipedia. I'm not the best writer either and I haven't read any of the books but I felt compelled to bring some of these articles up to at least a minimum standard. But without knowing anything about the books there's only so much I can do. For An Angel (talk) 22:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! There is a "Template:Clique" that is already used in most of the Clique articles. But I'll check to make sure that they have them. (I'm assuming that's what you meant by NavBox) For An Angel (talk) 17:28, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Devil May Care, written by Sebastian Faulks ("writing as Ian Fleming"), has become Penguin Books fastest selling hardcover fiction title. It is the latest installment in the book series about British secret agent James Bond and was released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of late Bond creator Ian Fleming's birthday on May 28, 1908.

Current debates
Categories for Discussion has a series of discussions about whether to categorize certain specific types of fictional characters: double agents, dictators, characters with eidetic memory, etc. Advice from any Novels project members would be valuable in assisting them.
WikiProject Media franchises aims to help editors with the coordination of articles within the thousands of media franchises which exist and has requested input from our members. They are currently discussing a naming convention for franchise articles. Since this may affect one or more articles in our Novel project, they would like to get opinions before implimenting any changes.
