Talk:Henry Fielding's early plays

Tasks

Here is a list of tasks needed for the page:

• Lead and leads for the individual sections
• Summaries of the plays - one subheading under "plays" for each year and each play gets a paragraph of four sentences: when it was published, what kind of success, two sentences on plot and themes.
• Wikilinks
• Formatting

Note, I made an example here with Don Quixote in England and The Wedding Day. These two plays wont have their own pages until I start on his later plays. The others will have their own pages. Keep this in mind. Ottava Rima (talk) 03:41, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Competition

It looks like Res2216firestar is jumping in while Peter is absent. Uh oh. Someone is giving Peter a run for his money. :P Just kidding. Welcome aboard Res. The more the merrier, and everyone can share in the credit as long as this comes out amazing. :) Ottava Rima (talk) 19:15, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

It was I who told Res about this, for it seems I will have ssome difficulty mustering the mental energy to do this, because of this. I'll help out when I can, probably in the wikifying parts of the process. NuclearWarfare _(Talk) 19:19, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Any help is good. All support is great. This is our linguistic heritage, we should work towards the greater good. :) Ottava Rima (talk) 19:28, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
