Welcome
[edit]Hello, Bgmaple and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Valfontis (talk) 22:41, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
Additional sources
[edit]- So far the article is quite good. It could use some updated sources, though. Perhaps even something in this century, but certainly in the latter half of the last. Try William Doyle, 2009, The Aristocracy and its Enemies and Warren Roberts, Jacques-Louis David and Jean-Louis Prieur, Revolutionary Artists: etc. Also, did you check JSTOR for something on this? It might not always be called "Day of Daggers " (perhaps Affair of the Daggers) or something. Also, please use 28 February 17.... as your date style. Also, I'll find the proper event box to plunk into this for you. Also, you have a couple of incomplete sentences in there.... There will be more suggestions later. auntieruth (talk) 21:33, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- This particular google book, by Thomas Carlyle, needs the proper reference (actually any google book does). Author, Title, etc. Page numbers are important, because he didn't write anything short. You've jammed all your references at the end of the last paragraph. I wrote on the board how to do the references, at least one way, so try doing that. <ref name=Carlyle539>[[Thomas Carlyle]], ''The French Revolution: A History,'' Thomas Dent Publishing, 1914, Volume 1, [https://books.google.com/books?id=43nSAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA539&dq=french+day+of+daggers&lr=&cd=1#v=onepage&q=539&f=false pp. 539–542]. Subsequent references to it would be <ref name=Carlyle539/> Obviously, you'd leave off the nowiki commands. auntieruth (talk) 17:32, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
