[edit] Topic
I have just done an extensive rewrite of this article, though I removed very little. Being a newbie, I'm a little unsure of some stylistic issues and having some trouble finding easy answers. Should I remove links to articles like "music" and "drama," which don't have specific relevance to this article?
It needs more citations, but are the ones I added okay? I couldn't find a definitive style guide for bibliographic citations. And should I add a footnote for each sentence that cites to a particular source, or is just one following a string of sentences okay?
Also, while I tried hard to maintain NPOV, part of the reason I started working on the article was to correct a couple of widely accepted myths about her that have no basis in fact. Comments? Laura1822 04:03, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- What a delightful article! About the citations: it looks to me(FWIW) that your citations are fine, but one way to improve them would be with "metatagging". That way, instead of you having to hard-code the citation format, you make each element of the citation (e.g. year) an element that can be displayed according to viewer's preferences. I experimented with metatagging the citation to Lady Morgan's memoirs, and if you like the results, perhaps we can do the rest. One issue arose when I did that ref, is whether the ISBN should refer to the orginial publication (which has no ISBN due to age) or to a later edition. I including an ISBN for a later edition for the sake of people who what to get the book but referenced the earliest publication for other purposes. I'm not sure that is correct procedure but it seemed more useful. Anyway ... have fun editting!!! rewinn 20:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
