Emma

Hi! I wanted to give you a small warning about the reception section for the Emma novel - there's another page that goes over the reception, so be careful that you don't add more than what you've already added. You want to make sure that you avoid the content in this section getting too long and being redundant to the content that's in the reception history page.

Thanks for the heads up. I did check to make sure that I don't cover the same material and I will not be adding more. I do mention some of the same sources for comments, but use different quotations and don't go into as much detail.Jkburton (talk) 19:38, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bdahik's Peer Review

Hello There, Based on the course website, I see that we are paired up to conduct peer reviews on each other and I must say that I'm very impressed by all the work and revisions that you made to your article, seeing as how you didn't have a partner. In all honesty, I really didn't see many issues within your article because all the information seems to flow smoothly between paragraphs and I didn't detect any grammatical errors of the sort (e.g., sentence structure, capitalization, and punctuation, etc.); however, I feel like the information under the "Plot/Summary," and "Character Descriptions," weren't cited with enough references, but then again considering the length of this article and seeing as how you were the only one who put in the effort, I understand if you ran out of time. Furthermore, given how important the other details were, I wouldn't worry too much about the "Character Description," section as it is irrelevant and less prominent in terms of citations or accuracy. I think people are more concerned about the "Plot/Summary," section though, so I would consider adding a few more citations in.

Other than that, I commend you for your work and I think you did an awesome job on everything else! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bdahik (talk • contribs) 23:00, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bdahik's Peer Review cont.

I forgot to thank you for the feedback on my article. Just to clarify what my work was, I had edited the first paragraph of my article and I made revisions to the "Character Descriptions," page. I'm almost done with this section and I plan on finishing it by this weekend before it is due for class. I also plan on fixing my citations because you're correct in that my sources may be questionable, but I have every intention on correcting this issue as well.

Thank you for the feedback!
