Wondering if there is a standard for including works in progress, particularly under a Selected Works heading? Would the standard be to only include published works with ISBN numbers, or would a wiki editor include works in progress that may have been announced already in reliable press?

This is in regards to a writer / translator page I created here - Max Lawton. Thank you in advance!

If you have a source to cite for it, I think you could include a sentence like “A translation of X was announced in 2024, to be published by Y publisher.” If it’s just something the author has mentioned working on in interviews, I think that’s too speculative to include. I don’t think it’s super important to include forthcoming works since there’s nothing to say about them except the announcement, but if there’s sourcing I also don’t see the harm in including it. Just my take. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 06:29, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240309062900","author":"LEvalyn","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-LEvalyn-20240309062900-Lacanic-20240309031400","replies":["c-Lacanic-20240309070000-LEvalyn-20240309062900"],"displayName":"~ L \ud83c\udf38"}}-->

That makes sense, I’ll go try to find some sources and specific info on forthcoming publishers etc. Lacanic (talk) 07:00, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240309070000","author":"Lacanic","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Lacanic-20240309070000-LEvalyn-20240309062900","replies":[]}}-->

Hello, I have noticed that phrases on Wikipedia often need work and are caught in limbo between WikiProjects. I am considering starting a Phases and Proverbs Wikiproject, but I want to make sure that it isn't within the scope of this WikiProject but often missed. Phrases aren't covered by this or other WikiProjects, right? I can do stuff!

Hello! I'm currently working on the stub for literary fragments. I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for an infobox I could use? Since the literary fragment refers to both historical artefacts (such as the fragments of Sappho) and also refers a literary style or form, I'm unsure of what infobox to use or edit. I'm new at this and appreciate any advice!
