Hell Is a Very Small Place
- ... that a contributor to Hell Is a Very Small Place, a 2016 book about solitary confinement, was denied access to a copy of the book while in prison? Source: [1]
- Reviewed: Slow Clap (song)
Created by Bilorv (talk). Self-nominated at 23:36, 21 March 2021 (UTC).
Article is new and was nominated within 7 days of creation. The article has more than 1,500 words in prose. Hook is interesting and can be used. Article is neutral and uses inline citations. The reception section preferably should be paraphrased to avoid copyright issues. lullabying (talk) 08:50, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Lullabying and thanks for the review. I don't agree that there are copyright issues with the Reception section, because the quotes are chosen to always be a small portion of the review, they are attributed correctly in prose and with inline citations and they are not egregiously long. If the issue is "I used Earwig's copyvio detector and it's saying high percentages" then a large percentage doesn't inherently mean there is a copyright violation—it just indicates something you need to assess manually. A limited amount more of paraphrasing would be possible but from my experience with book and television articles, "Reception" sections which use quotes like this are not a copyright issue. — Bilorv (talk) 10:57, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- I understand but it feels like the majority of the reception section is just quotations and they may be overused. I think you should just paraphrase where it is possible. lullabying (talk) 02:53, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- Alright, well there's a balance here with not misrepresenting a reviewer's argument, and that we can't use emotional language in wikivoice but need to quote it to convey the tone of the review. With that in mind, I've tried reducing long quotations and paraphrasing as much as possible without impacting source-content integrity. How does it look now? — Bilorv (talk) 19:57, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Looks good. lullabying (talk) 09:11, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
