		+
		+	I want to revive the discussion about having a list of historical romance authors and titles on this page. IMHO, lists of historical books and authors are more easily found and maintained via the category pages. I suggest just having links to the categories -- does anyone concur? --[[User:Amy\|Amy]] 10:56, 26 January 2008 (PST)

	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?

-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].

		+	Okay, I will weigh in here.
		+	*I think that the info on the page entitled "Historical Romance Titles" should be moved to the page entitled "Historical" to make it parallel with the other genre titles (reached from the Romance Genres link from the main page).
