Wikipedia pager -List of "j-Novel" OUT of DATE!!

Ekun

Hi not sure if this can be here, or must be moved to another section in the forums...

But anyway...
Just a search in the forums by the word "Wikipedia" sent me to this OLD post;

J-Novel Club's own Wikipedia article Up and Running

but as stated in the topic, A it DOES NOT contain the Novel titles, but link to another page with them. ... unfortunately it looks a bit too olde and OUTDATED.

To say, "Ascendance of a Book worm" states that "Last Japanese Volume is 25, when actually it is the 29th, ( with 30th following in a few days on) ... and the Last Print English said it's the 6th (Part 2 Vol 3) when already part 3 is finished, ( 3+4+5)= 12th Volumen in Print, ( and 20 in digital) while the 21st "Part IV- Volume IX " is in Pre-Publishing ...

I am really bad with web language ( still learning), I've try to update it ... but not really sure, so I din't end publishing any change ...

Also My Japanese is VERY BASIC, to find proper references to update... so anyone interested in help me with it?
find references in Japanese pages, and eventually try to keep the article in a monthly update basis ...

Cheers fellas.

Ekun

I would discourage you from adding unreleased volumes as a matter of good practice. Also, the page seems to have decided to go with Google Books for it's referencing for whatever reason so I'd replace the TO Books reference with that: https://books.google.com/books?id=WZ5oEAAAQBAJ

If Bookworm hasn't been updated since January 2021 I'm assuming pretty much everything is going to be horribly out of date so it's going to be a massive pain to catch it up to date.

Yup! i did just this because is just a bit less than a week , so can save 1 update.

Far I can see, there are some than when added was still in Pre-publication, as does not point any volume out. ...

I believe 'coz the easy way just using G as search engine by default. Which isn't my case ...
I've try to find it too... but it took me to the "Play store" and I was a bit in a rush to do it before my working shift start ...
So...I've decided for the easiest way, as I got them in my browser bookmarks. (^__^) hehe

And in fact, I am thinking to replace them to point straight to JNC web, at least with all the English references .

Yup! I know that, but if many do it at slow but coordinate pace... we can do it.
other ways it may take quite a long, loong to do it.

My doubt now is...
Count the -AoaB- Fan books as a Novel title?.

I 'll need to add the Side history "RAFY

Just don't do it make a habit of it.

No, the easiest would have been using Amazon so there is a conscious effort to use Google Books.

If you do that you're probably going to really annoy somebody.
