Logical quotation

[edit]

Hi Kschmick. I see you're new here. Just to let you know: on Wikipedia, we use logical quotation per WP:LQ. This means we only include punctuation that was originally there in full quotes. Sentence fragments, one-word quotes and song titles should not have punctuation inside the quotation marks surrounding them, as it was not originally there. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up, Ss112. I appreciate it! Kschmick (talk) 04:51, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article selections

[edit]
This one might actually be really interesting to do as part of this project since it has a lot of content and actually needs so close work by someone NOT in the field described. It looks like someone from a class took it on 2 years ago, but there are a lot of problems still here. I see info out of place, a lead that is too long, and some sentence-level work to do be done.

A bit more of a tough one but it is noteworthy that the article has remained stagnant for over 5 years. Putting together a good article for such a widespread publication has to be pretty hard (note how few make it to GA status in the magazine category). You could try it, but we might want to talk it over first. Etherfire (talk) 19:05, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is a great selection and I'm going to go ahead and assign it to you. It has clearly been worked on by a student in a class and thus doesn't quite read like a Wiki article (even some of the citations are done in essay format rather than Wiki format). So I think you can do a lot here to rework what is here into a proper wikipedia article. Etherfire (talk) 19:05, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
