Peer Editing
Hello fellow editors! I am a student editor, and over the next couple of weeks, I will be going through this article to edit for organization and tone edits. Specifically, I want to work with the history section to clean it up a bit and create a more encyclopedic tone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KDBrox (talk • contribs) 18:52, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- Template:Ping Hello KDB! Would you mind giving me proof that you are a student editor? I don't doubt your ability to do what you are saying, however your failure to sign your comment (before the bot) makes me a little suspicious. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:02, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I looked at your userpage and saw the template. For future reference, when communicating with other editors on a talk page, you must always remember to sign your response using
~~~~, which adds your signature and a timestamp (if you forget a bot will eventually come around and add your signature for you, but you shouldn't have to rely on the bot to sign for you). ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:09, 21 February 2022 (UTC) - Hello again! I apologize for not replying sooner, and I will sign all future correspondence before the bot does. I plan to work on the History section of the article for the next couple of days. My revisions will include making a separate section for examples of short stories as a lot of the history section is currently examples of short stories as well as going through the History section for encyclopedic tone.

Extensive list
This article has grown into an extensive list of lists of authors and their works. Per MOS:EMBED, embedded lists should be used only when appropriate. Since this article is ostensibly about short stories, I don't think these extensive lists are appropriate and should be removed.—Anita5192 (talk) 19:11, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Short story vs novella
See related discussion at Talk:Novella#On_length_and_relation_to_short_story. TL;DR, I discuss this in detail in pl wiki, with academic Polish sources - but I am not sure if this represents a global view, or just Polish academic view. See pl:Opowiadanie#Opowiadanie_a_nowela if you are interested. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:13, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- This is the English article about the meaning of the English term. There seems to be a clear distinction between the terms as to length only: flash fiction < short story < novelette < novella < novel.—Anita5192 (talk) 05:41, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
