I personally don't consider it a major enough trope to be included in the AH entry. Others have entered it in the past and it has been deleted as unreferenced.

About the Zombies on a plane... they were still dead, weren't they? :p jk
I dig what you are saying and it is one of those genres that'll have a million D-grade, shot-with-dad's-handicam-style movies made but just about all of them have one of those criteria. Just like most good Z-films won't actually use the word Zombie (Shaun of the Dead was the exception and they made a joke specifically about this trait.
btw, Kudos to you for keeping the Smurf vill safe from the undead! :)

Well... they sorta don't need to conform to all three; I've just noticed that nearly all Zed films have at least one of those elements, because there'll be films from the 1930s and earlier where they'll be dead, but not carnivorous and so on. And I've learned not to get into an argument with a die hard Zombie fan... :)

Hi Zombie. Just finished re-reading SoG and I can't find the ref to cheerleaders going into battle at all. Could it be you've misunderstood chapter four where it says: "but at least today they didn’t have those cheerleaders in short skirts leaping and cavorting and making pyramids in front of the troops. She’d always hated that, particularly on serious occasions." Surely this refers to a formal reception like the one given to Mike and Signe Harvel in MaC?

Oh, there are so many reasons for being hostile to the book by its subject:
Speculative history always seems to me to be a waste, unless it is written as a way to emphasize the actual history. Thus, that alternate history book where the Ottomans didn't turn back at Florence is useful, because what it actually ends up doing is emphasizing the importance of the real events. I have yet to detect, even in Harry Turtledove, the same use/impulse in the Civil War alternatives.
South Wins is the easiest of the alternatives to get wrong, and insultingly wrong, and stupidly wrong, of any that I have seen. There are 100 ways to go wrong and no way to go right. From the dreadful, stultifying C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America, which had slavery in the 20th century, to the Southern apologist shaded ones, there's just no way to do it. Either the authors assume that the war was "about" slavery or that slavery was "ending on its own" at the time, and, either way, the result is a horrible insult to every human of intelligence.
My biggest gripe: the fans. The fans of this kind of thing, I think, betray a certain Millerite dissatisfaction with the world as it is. They seem to long for "the day." Well, that day was pretty rotten, and in the Civil War both sides were wrong, both were right, and both had horrors to conceal, and anyone who longs for the hoop skirts is as creepy to me as someone who longs for the Mammies and Uncles. Someone who longs for "States Rights" is as worrisome to me, because I wonder why those persons want only to reminisce about the days of the 1860, instead of the days of the Articles of Confederation, when the U.S. had "states rights" and no nation. Why don't they fondly write about "What if Alexander Hamilton had been strangled in his crib?"
I just sense this amazing amount of sublimation in the writing, reading, and fandom of that kind of book. I know that it can be noble, but, well, it seems more suspect than people who want to join the SCA. I don't want to insult masses of people I've never met, but it's a genre that gives me the screaming phantods.

You Deserved the Barnstar you've shown all the attributes that makes wikipedia great, and have been a positive force on the world war z article. As for the Tsar thing if you reread the chapter will the priest he and the interviewer still refer to the head of the russian state as the president, he asked if he feels its appropriate for the president to be head of the church. i feel the comparsion to the tsars is more an analogy thats why she says do you know what the word for caeser is in russian if he'd been made tsar there'd be no need for ambiguity, its like when people claim george bush has given himself the powers of a king. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.231.231 (talk) 22:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-10-02T22:21:00.000Z","author":"86.27.231.231","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-86.27.231.231-2008-10-02T22:21:00.000Z-Barnstar_and_tsars","replies":[]}}-->

I have tried again to make points that I think are relevant, but they may still be deleted unless someone can strengthen them up to the required standard. If they do I feel it will be a shame because the use of cultural references in World War Z is more than trivia, it is an important litery device that greatly adds to the effectiveness of the book.

As you can see, this is about as bare-bones of a newsletter as you can get. The reason for this is that the newsletter has and will be inactive, but we wanted to get a last one out detailing the current state of our project. The truth is that WP:NOVELS is in bad shape. Only a few editors are active in editing inside of our project. Our Peer Review section, this newsletter, our task forces, and our collaboration center are all dead; although a collab is picked each month, not a lot of work seems to occur.
Out of these ashes, we are proposing that the project start an A-class review system. This will hopefully bring people together for reviewing, and will perhaps get the project some sorely-needed attention from others who can come in and help rehabilitate it. Final plans have not been established, but we will see about getting a mass message out to all of the project members if/when it is set up; discussion of this can be conducted on the General Forum.
This newsletter will probably be the last we will have for a long time, as neither Ed nor Kevinalewis have the time to create these every month. However, if any editor is willing to step up and create one, we would be glad to assist you in making it up.
If you don't want to create a newsletter, but would still like to help, there are plenty of things that can be done. As detailed on the right, the Novels Peer Review section has four articles needing attention, but only one review has been done; one from May, one from November, and one from December have not had any comments left on them. Please consider helping out there; even a 15-minute review would help.
Talk between Kevinalewis and the_ed17, the two project coordinators, has led to us deciding to suspend elections for coordinators indefinitely. With the exceedingly low amount of participation in the last elections (five total votes), we do not feel that it is worth it to try to set up another election.
20 positions remain unfilled at the Job Centre. Members who are active project contributors are encouraged to apply even if they can only do a position for a short time.
Collaboration of the Month
This month's Collaboration has been selected by popular vote and is : Shantaram (novel). The next collaboration is due for selection in April, so cast your vote.
Peer review and assessment news
Peer Reviews are still open for four articles – Sector General, Petals of Blood, Scenes of Clerical Life, and Flowers for Algernon. Feel free to submit any novel-related article that you are working on for review, but please consider stopping by and reviewing an article; we need more reviewers for our articles (there is a PR that has been open since May)!
Recently a new worklist had been created and quietly arrived, the Cleanup listing which gives a fairly comprehensive hit list of "novels" related articles that have been tagged for something or other.
Since then a new Article alerts listing has also been added of more topic and "urgent" items worthy of our attention.

Just so you know, the reason this section was added was because there is an editor who keeps insisting that any science fiction story which was set in the future when written and is now set in the past is alternate history. If you look through the archives, you'll find earlier discussions. If you want to include the information that no, that isn't ah with a citation, you can cite an article I published in Helix SF back in July 2006.

I disagree with you edits, first full games are more notable than fan mods, second they are apocalyptic within the confines of the town or city they take place in, There's no evidence within the Call of Duty or Left for Dead that its a global apocalypse.

the existence of an article on wikipedia is no basis for an argument, if we take your argument that localised apocalypse aren't to be included then 28 days later which is about an event entirely limited to Britain shouldn't be there. On the matter of notability Dead Rising has 83,500 ghits when combined with zombie apocalypse game zombie master one of the 2 mods you feel are more notable only 1,120, further a mod isn't actually a game its a modification to an existing game as such its that game that should be listed with the mods as secondary notes, given these factors I feel that the examples of 2 well known and successful games is of more use to the article than 2 obscure mods.

Task force and related news
His Dark Materials task force has begun. This task force is dedicated to improving all articles in the scope of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. The main purpose of this taskforce is to expand, cite, and promote all articles in scope of the series. They welcome any advice or help that members of WikiProject Novels may be able to offer. If interested, drop a note on their talk page.
– Position of editor for the task force has been undertaken by Pmlinediter.
Hi, I have been a member of this project for a few months now, and after finally gotten to grips with Wikipedia I have decided to take on the role of writing this newsletter (currently by myself, but any help would be appreciated) with some helpful tips from The Ed17. After undertaking this I realise why it was so difficult to keep it going. I will, however, persevere. From the members, I would encourage you to vote in the Coordinator elections, and take up roles at the Job Centre. The project has struggled recently, and I am hoping to try and revive it. If, with the publication of this newsletter, there are a couple of things that aren't quite up-to-date (like the Collaboration part), you can be certain I am working on it. I will be trying to get a newsletter out on around the 21st of every month. Finally, thanks for the help Ed.

Current debates
A Kenneth Oppel task force has been proposed. You can comment here. Oppel is a Canadian author who specialises in Young adult fiction.
Novel related news
American writer Michael Hemp wins the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Award in the Action/Adventure category for his novel, The Nadjik Pheromone.
This is my first attempt at the newsletter, and I hope it at least gets close to the previous high standards set by Kevinalewis and The Ed17. I will once again encourage you to vote in the Coordinator elections, as I hope it could be the springboard to revitalise the project. I'll keep working on the newsletter, partially because I like the stress, and partially because we need it to get members and would-be members interested. Hopefully the start of great things. Regards, Alan.
Collaboration of the Month
Because there has been little activity on our Collaboration page for a long time, I have made an executive decision, and chosen The Tin Drum as our Collaboration of the month. All members are asked to assist where they can. The next collaboration is due for selection on 21 July, 2009 so nominate and vote.
Newsletter challenge
This month's article is Mindplayers by science fiction author Pat Cadigan. It is a previous, uncompleted challenge.

Hello. Regarding the recent revert and several previous ones you made to Alternate history: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. When the severity of the warnings ratchets up, the vandal has no complaint that he wasn't properly warned. Thank you.

Sorry for the mistake in placing the citation in there, I'm brand new to this and although I did some reading on some aspects of making editorial changes, I didn't see specifics about placement of citations...obviously I just missed it.
The author of the book "THE LOST FLEET: RELENTLESS", John G. Hemry (aka: Jack Campbell) was aware of my interest in correcting that particular article and asked that I also include the spoiler warning at the beginning of that article.

Looks like a good start. I've seen "counterfactual" used intechangably with "alternate history". There's likely some useful Google Scholar hits here.

Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.
I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.
Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.
(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)
3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Hey there.. I noticed your request for a peer review of World War Z at the WPNovels page. I'm happy to have a look if you like, but I have to warn you that school is about to start for me, so I may have a sudden severe lack of time on my hands soon. I should add that I haven't read the book myself, but my wife and my next-door neighbor are both big fans.
Obviously (since it passed GA) the article is in good shape; it looks like some spots could use some prose-brushing, which I'm happy to help with. I took a look at the rough draft of character lists you've been working on and I must say that I'm not a big fan of those in articles about novels. We can discuss it further anon.
Anyway, lemme know what you think and I'll block out some time to have a look.

I explained my change to the Max Brooks article and provided a source in which Max said flatly that the book is not tongue-in-cheek. You re-reverted it with no explanation this time. I provided a source and I doubt you'll find something better than Max's own words. When someone has provided a source to explain a change, you really need to explain the revert. (The source went in the edit summary rather than the article only because the summary was about a deletion and the article is about Max, not the book itself.)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Jesusland map. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:18, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-12-11T01:18:00.000Z","author":"Erwin85Bot","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Erwin85Bot-2009-12-11T01:18:00.000Z-AfD_nomination_of_Jesusland_map","replies":[]}}-->
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Zombie Survival Guide. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Since you apparently want your talk page kept clear I will leave my response here. There is no such thing as a "zombie apocalypse". It is a small sub-genre of fiction, usually a mixture of horror/science fiction. And even apocalyptic scenarios with two words in the titles are usually not both capitalized, such as Nuclear holocaust or Societal collapse. Also I found no source suggesting that the term is a proper noun, and that is because the term does not describe a unique entity (i.e. Zombie Apocalypse (band)) but a class of common entities. But if you honestly believe I am mistaken, than start a discussion on the talk page and see what consensus is. I would respect whatever the decision the editors of the article reach.

I see the article IQ reference chart has been tagged for expert review since October 2012. As part of a process of drafting a revision of that article in my user sandbox, I am contacting all Wikipedians who have edited that article since early 2009 for whom I can find a user talk page.
I have read all the diffs of all the edits committed to the article since the beginning of 2009 (since before I started editing Wikipedia). I see the great majority of edits over that span have been vandalism (often by I.P. editors, presumably teenagers, inserting the names of their classmates in charts of IQ classifications) and reversions of vandalism (sometimes automatically by ClueBot). Just a few editors have referred to and cited published reliable sources on the topic of IQ classification. It is dismaying to see that the number of reliable sources cited in the article has actually declined over the last few years. To help the process of finding reliable sources for articles on psychology and related topics, I have been compiling a source list on intelligence since I became a Wikipedian in 2010, and I invite you to make use of those sources as you revise articles on Wikipedia and to suggest further sources for the source on the talk pages of the source list and its subpages. Because the IQ reference chart article has been tagged as needing expert attention for more than half a year, I have opened discussion on the article's talk page about how to fix the article, and I welcome you to join the discussion. The draft I have in my user sandbox shows my current thinking about a reader-friendly, well sourced way to update and improve the article. I invite your comments and especially your suggestions of reliable sources as the updating process proceeds. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 20:14, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-05-28T20:14:00.000Z","author":"WeijiBaikeBianji","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-WeijiBaikeBianji-2013-05-28T20:14:00.000Z-Invitation_to_look_at_edits_on_IQ_reference_chart","replies":[]}}-->

Zombie Hunter Smurf. I am Kier Salmon, Steve's first reader for the Emberverse series. I am not very good at wiki edits yet. I've had other things on my plate to learn and do. I looked at the Emberverse page recently and thought to add to it... but I didn't like the very hard to read colored banners.
So I went and looked at other pages that listed series, and they are structured very differently. Would you be OK with my either a) changing the colors to something a little less difficult to read (i.e. more neutral and pallid) or b) changing it completely over to the structure most author series is written in? (look at Mercy Thompson and Patricia Finney for examples of what I mean) Then I could add to the links and bring it up to date through Given Sacrifice.
Since this would be a major change to the page I don't feel comfortable or happy just blasting through and changing it without a go-ahead from you.
Thank you. Communicating with me can happen through [email protected] also.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
