Roaming27: /* List/Category?? */ thank you, good ideas

This is the only genre category that is defined as devoted to titles rather than to all aspects of the genre. Should it perhaps be renamed Historical Romance?

[[User:Dusk Peterson|Dusk Peterson]] 03:06, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
:I agree, it should be renamed Historical Romance. The list would be way too long if it was titles only. Maybe a selected list of bestselling titles could be included. [[User:Roaming27|Roaming27]] 23:34, 10 January 2007 (PST)

::I have created an [[historical]] genre article (nothing in it yet). I suggest that this [[Historical Romance Titles]] article could either be a list or category and split into two, for titles and authors. [[User:Roaming27|Roaming27]] 00:33, 13 January 2007 (PST)

:::Either of those sound like good solutions to me. Thanks for thinking about this. [[User:Dusk Peterson|Dusk Peterson]] 01:38, 13 January 2007 (PST)

::::No worries :-) Hopefully others will share their ideas too. [[User:Roaming27|Roaming27]] 12:33, 15 January 2007 (PST)

== List/Category?? ==

--[[User:Romancewiki|Romancewiki]] 15:07, 15 January 2007 (PST)
For what it's worth, I think that categories are more flexible than lists (though I do love lists). Historical or Historical Romance are fine titles, though they will eventually require sub-categories under them to capture the breadth and depth of the genres. I don't know if you're already looked at the various historical categories already in existence (see this page: [http://www.example.com link title Categories]. Just thinking out loud as I catch up with email and other things.
::I'm not sure I understand the difference between a wiki list and category, I'm a bit slow here, lol. Yes, I took a peek at the already existing categories a couple of days ago, after I wrote my previous message. I'll now take a closer look and see if my brain sparks up with any ideas *grin* [[User:Roaming27|Roaming27]] 15:48, 15 January 2007 (PST)

== book list ==

Barbara Cartland wrote about 700 books. I'm thinking of creating a separate list for her books and only featuring a selection in the article. I'm not sure how many romances she wrote ... I might just feature her romances instead. I'll think on it. If you have an opinion, let me know. [[User:Roaming27|Roaming27]] 01:15, 13 January 2007 (PST)

--[[User:Romancewiki|Romancewiki]] 15:17, 15 January 2007 (PST)
:As far as separate lists for the books are concerned, I'm in agreement there. For highly prolific authors, I think it makes sense to break out there works into smaller chunks. Not only does it make the page load faster, but also allows us to further discuss specific elements of what they've been written. [[Nora Roberts]] is another obvious choice for this treatment...

::Thanks Romancewiki. I'll work on setting up stuff for Barbara Cartland. [[User:Roaming27|Roaming27]] 15:41, 15 January 2007 (PST)

Lady Diana Davenport only finds real men in her dreams and books -- far away from 18th century England. She despairs of ever finding her dream man until a chance encounter with a Roman helmet transports her back to Aquae Sulis, Roman-era Bath, and the compelling Marcus Magnus, who is intrigued by the woman he believes is a Druid spy.

This light erotica story deals with slavery of the sexual variety.

All the guests had arrived at St. John's Church. The wedding gown had been donned. The organ music swelled. Lucy Maguire's big day had finally arrived. All she had to do was walk down the aisle....

Until a mysterious man burst through the door--and her groom-to-be fled....

Max Ryder certainly had a way of making an entrance into a woman's life. But if it hadn't been for him, she would have made the biggest mistake ever. Obviously Lucy wasn’t great at picking husbands--and now she was falling in love with a stranger....

Roaming27: how I found RomanceWiki

Reading is my chief hobby and I'm currently surrounded by nearly 3,000 books. My first romances were by authors [[Rosemary Rogers]] and [[Patricia Matthews]], I was hooked!

I was searching for general wiki's (other than wikipedia), then I thought surely someone would've started a romance wiki. I saw a comment by Jill Monroe about this site and here I am.
