Talk:Rebecca Harding Davis

message: Harding Davis' article "Here and There in the South" (1887) was original listed in this Wikipedia article as "Short Fiction," but I moved it to the "Essay" category because I have a copy of Part V of this essay, and it's clearly a non-fiction travelogue; the places she visited were real, and she does mention at least some real persons, and as far as I know the rest of the essay is entirely factual.  --Skb8721 17:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Note on "Here and There in the South" (1887)

message: Ok group. So here is a breakdown of what we need to add to RHD's talk page-
I. Biography (needs to be added to) 
II. Major Works Nicolette D.
III. Influences Nicolette D.
IV. Style Genesse P.
V. Themes- Anna B. 
VI. Honors and Distinctions 
VII. Legacy- Anna B. 
VIII. Published Works Genesse P.
It looks like their are three of us in this group, so we should start some research soon. The "Influences" section seems like it might be difficult to find info for, but let's just try to do some basic research to see what we come up with. I also think, from what we learned in class about RHD, Honors and Distinctions could possibly be omitted, or included in the legacy section. Basically, we just need to start researching. I'm going to put my name by the sections I am interested in, but seeing as we are such a small group, it might be a good idea to collaborate a little more on this project. Maybe meet in a week and see what kind of info we have accumulated. 
Genesse, I know you were talking about adding pictures, which I think would be a great idea, and give the page a little something extra. -Annamini (talk) 03:39, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Thank you for all the helpful feedback! Our group is new to Wikipedia and we are learning as we go. We went through and fixed all the problems with citation, etc. Hopefully our article is up to snuff now. Please let us know if there is anything else holding it back. Thanks again!

thread_title: General Responses

message: I think your article is pretty good over all.  I like the information you guys have and how you have added pictures. The outline is organized and flows well. The only observation would be to perhaps add a little to the biography as in having a "family" section or something like that or expanding in other sections as the one for "Life in the Iron Mills". Also, Maybe adding an influence section or incorporating it to her style or themes. Lindammunoz (talk) 05:41, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Feedback

message: Hello, I saw this article was nominated at GAC.  Great work so far (especially for a school project)!  I see a few issues (mostly having to do with the references), which you may want to take care of before the review begins.  Since I assume you're being graded on this, I thought I'd just give you advice rather than fix things myself. ;)
*Citation 5 is currently displaying incorrectly -- perhaps because of a missing curly-bracket ( { ) at the beginning?
*When you use a citation more than once, you should combine them using the <ref name=""> tag.  For example, cite 1 and 2 are the same: "Ehrlich, Eugene and Gorton Carruth. The Oxford Illustrated Literary Guide to the United States. New York: Oxford University Press, 1982: 214. ")  To learn how to combine these two (and others in the article), see WP:NAMEDREFS.
*Citation 12 is currently displaying incorrectly, as well.  It looks like it's a combination of citation templates?
*Bare URL alert: citations 17 and 19.
*The References section currently lists these two bare URLS (3. http://www.lehigh.edu/~dek7/SSAWW/writDavisBio.htm and 4. http://scotus.francis.edu/rebeccahardingdavis/) What are these links used for?  Are they meant to be citations, further reading links, or what?
Also remember that you need to include a clean line between your intended paragraphs.  For example, this works:
(This is one paragraph.
This is another.)
While this doesn't:
(This is one paragraph.
This is another)
If you "edit" this section and see how I've written the above, you'll be able to see that in the first example I've included a line between "This is one paragraph" and "This is another" -- this creates two paragraphs.  If you don't include the line, the text appears as one block of text.  I hope these tips help! María (yllosubmarine) 15:05, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestions 

message: I think you need some refs for the style section, especially in re Davis and Realism and the transition to realism.  It might be helpful also to expand this section a bit - - as Davis seems to be a pretty example of the transition to realism.
Industrialism/Gender as themes - - very good.  Wondering if you've picked up any other themes from your reading?  For instance: art and the artist?

thread_title: Style

message: Just an FYI to all of this article's editors, I worked a little to clean up the article, and added citation tags where needed. Please work to get those fixed. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 04:29, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, those citations at the end need cleaning up (3. http://www.lehigh.edu/~dek7/SSAWW/writDavisBio.htm 4. http://scotus.francis.edu/rebeccahardingdavis/). If they're not in-line citations, what purpose do they serve? Ruby 2010/2013 04:29, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
