If I am right, then perhaps we should include a note about it here, since it seems to be a point of some confusion (and I guess people aren't looking at the actual template's notes, possibly because this version is much easier to find and use). - 1131:
incomplete", and the proprietary book image is the only image having right to be in the info box. Mind that some portals like German do not accept the "fair use" at all. I suggest at least clearly state that the book image is optional and can be replaced by the appropriate alternative illustration, if available.

I've noticed that a great deal of infoboxes put novels by chronological order of publication in these fields, rather than by series. I was under the impression that these were supposed to be by series (that's what it says on the template page, at any rate, and that's what I thought we concluded

I've encountered some confusion regarding the country designation in the infobox. Some contributors believe it is supposed to indicate the nationality of the author, while others think it is meant to reflect the country in which the work was first published. An example would be,
1184:
Good point, I would belive this relates to "where" the novel comes from. I.e. the nationality of the author being foremost in that. However if there is any doubt about this issue the nation of 1st publication would suit. However this does need to be discussed and clarified. ::
1344:
The use of "date" suggests that the day and month should be included. Generally, however, just the year is given (I tend to substitute "published" here). There is also confusion about the use of the word "series", because some editors erroneously interpret this to include
1086:
When we list the media type, should we be listing all the versions that are out, or the 1st edition type? Currently I'm only listing hardcover and paperback for most novels and not including ebook types. Are we only trying to list first edition details or something more?

Edit out the example if you think it isn't needed. Figured it would be quite helpful for Novel project people to see an example of the Novel project style. Note: Actual book uses Hardback, and only has the year for release date. Example changed to fit complete

The infobox includes the requirement to include cover image which almost never has the appropriate license. The cover images are marked as a "fair use". While it may be possible to tolerate this, probably we should not

The actual suggestion is that a field titled serialisaztion should be added to the infobox to allow for explanation of how the works of authors like Charles Dickens and Jules Verne's works were published.

I have just done a very thorough survey of novels that were serialized and found that the space "series" is never used, unless the novel was one of a sequence of novels, which was rare (i.e.

I have contended that this addition to the template isn't needed, because it can be d/w under "Published" (which can be used in the "release_date " spot, without changing the template). See
