Welcome!

Hello, Aswieter, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:07, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

WN Bibliography Entries

Do not use footnotes in your summaries (traditional Wikipedia references — they should appear outside the quotations marks, too), but be sure to use parenthetical page numbers. See the Baldwin for an example. Did you only do one article?

Generally good, but be sure to revise your prose for clarity and precision. When may I expect your WN edit? —Grlucas (talk) 21:24, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

• Grlucas, I will make those changes now. I just entered my second annotated bibliography for the White Negro. Once I correct the changes stated above, I will enter my White Negro edit. --Aswieter (talk) 12:08, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

WN Addition

OK, great start. Both need a bit more explanation: why is the Holmes' article important for the background? It seems, too, that Dahlby should go in "Analysis"? (Maybe even a new section is called for, like "Social Relevance"?) Plus, the Dahlby statement needs fleshing out, too. Finally, use the shortened footnote reference like the rest of the article does. I can help in class today, if necessary. Great start! —Grlucas (talk) 13:07, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Good cleanup and additions. Your Dahlby additions are solid and strong; however, you still need to insert the specific page numbers — not a range. I removed:

In his article for Esquire, "The Philosophy of the Beat Generation", John Clellon Holmes digs deeper into the hipster generation and some works by Jack Kerouac to defend the hipster mentality. Holmes' review of the Beat Generation, its mentality, and culture helps to provide knowledge about common misconceptions of hipsters aligned with Mailer's White Negro to explain the necessity of their ideologies to the survival of the country.

because it still does not offer any specifics and seems out of place where you put it. I hope that you will try again. —Grlucas (talk) 12:36, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Fetterley

I have the Fetterley article that addresses AAD (see the bib on the article) if you would like me to send it to you. It seems right up your alley. Let me know. —Grlucas (talk) 15:30, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Grlucas - that would be great. I got so caught up reading her work, I forgot to post the annotated Bibliography, which is about to be posted today. Additions to AAD will also be completed today. -Aswieter (talk) 13:50, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

AAD Bibliographic Entries

Titles of novels must always be italicized: An American Dream; article titles must be in quotations marks: "'Hula, Hula,' Said the Witches". Be sure to revise before you publish. Good stuff in the Fetterley. —Grlucas (talk) 15:26, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

AAD Edit

It think Fetterley would be more appropriate under "Analysis". The annotations should go after the punctuation mark, and you should eliminate all curly quotation marks. Good points here, but your additions still requires a bit of editing for flow and clarity. —Grlucas (talk) 15:33, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

WWVN Bib

Be sure to use the "official" abbreviation, WWVN, and italicize the novel's title. Good work. —Grlucas (talk) 22:20, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

WWVN Edit

You write:

Donoghue recalls Josephine Miles' study of the American Sublime, reasoning ''Vietnam''<nowiki/>'s voice and style as the drive behind Mailer's impact.{{Sfn|Donoghue|209|p=}}

Your citation is missing the date, and I'm not sure what "209" is (You have the same error with your Poirier citation). Also, I do not understand you sentence: is "American Sublime" a title? This seems to come from nowhere. Check your use of the semicolon. —Grlucas (talk) 23:05, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
