Welcome

Hi, Marni! Thanks for your message on my Talk page and I hope your first edits went well. Welcome to Wikipedia! Amy E Hughes (talk) 14:51, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Bibliography

Hi, Marni -- I looked at your preliminary bibliography, and your sources look good to me. However, you made a number of formatting choices that are inconsistent with MLA style, so I think you should work to improve your attention to detail with MLA and get a stronger grasp on the rules. In addition to the handbook (put it under your pillow!), this web site will be helpful: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ If you'd like to meet with me, we can go through your bib and I can point out to you specific errors, but if you look at the OWL at Purdue you should be able to see many of them yourself. Let me know if you have questions or if you'd like to meet. Thanks! Amy E Hughes (talk) 14:50, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Amy! I think it would help me to stop in and ask a few formatting questions in person. Will you have your regular office hours on Monday? I can come by before class. Mcraab123 (talk) 15:29, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Preliminary bibliography for spring 2015

Hi, Mcraab123 -- Your sources look promising! However, as with last semester, you are still having trouble with the details of MLA style. Look very closely at the sample citations for journal articles and books in the MLA handbook or the OWL at Purdue, and then match them exactly. If after you do that you can't see the errors I'm talking about, set a time to meet with me. It would be best if you have a VERY firm grasp of MLA style before you take the Research & Bibliography course in fall 2015. As a general note: MLA no longer requires you to include URLs in citations in your Works Cited list. See: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/ Happy researching! 16:10, 12 February 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amyehughes (talk • contribs)

Well-made play

Hi Mcraab123. I'm providing online support for your course and I noticed the changes you made to Well-made play. I think the content you have added is good but you'll want to provided references to individual claims you've made. You have pointed to works which informed your thinking (e.g. "The well-made play can be broken down, as Stephen S. Stanton illustrates in his introduction to Camille and Other Plays, into a series of steps."), all you have to do is place it in the references itself so critical readers and future editors can add to it. If you need help adding these references or working them into the prose please let me know. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:45, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for this, Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) . I've since added some citations. If you notice more information that needs citing, please let me know. Thanks for your help! Mcraab123 (talk) 21:58, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

• Mcraab123 You've done an excellent job! I'll take another look, but this is great! Thanks for your work here. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:00, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Interested in doing a Wiki Ed student profile?

Hi! I work for the Wiki Education Foundation, which supports students and instructors who use Wikipedia in their coursework. Your article on Well-made play was really well done! I'm curious about your experience with Wikipedia assignments, as it seems you've now been through two Wikipedia courses? If you're interested in talking about those experiences and the work you did for our student profile blog, I'd love to have a chat or send along some questions (here or via e-mail). Drop me a message on my talk page, or send me an email: eryk@wikiedu.org. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
