- Project news
- We are on the cusp of having 9000 novel and other narrative prose articles tagged as part of the project. With this volume of articles, we need all the editorial help we can get.
- Now there are three Task Forces ("Short story", "Science Fiction" & "Crime") - see below
- Member news
- The project has currently 214 members, 8 joined & 1 leavers since the last newsletter at the start of February 2007
- Other news
- The Assessment department has managed to assess (in some form) nearly all the main articles. The emphasis will now change to identifying needed article improvement, however keeping a watch on newly tagged articles with a view to properly assess those.
- A new Peer review department has kicked off with one of my early articles as a starting point. Please do give it a look, start reviewing and suggest other articles that you believe could benefit from another pair of eyes.
- The Children and Young Adult Literature portal was created by User:KGV, go take a look.

- Auto list news
- Currently stalled - if anyone has the means to help out here with re-generation of these list - please do!

- Current debates
- The End of Fair Use? is notification of a serious debate going on across WikiPedia.
- Another possible problem hasn't really got going as a debate but maybe should have. It highlights a need to put in content to articles that asserts "notability" and gives proper referencing to articles.
