Talk:The House on Mango Street

message: These two sections, along with all of categorization, was cut from this article back in October by an IP user with no edit summary/explanation. I have restored it, but if someone wants to trim them back that would not be amiss. -- nae'blis 15:28, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

message: This article does not have the first requirement of a bildungsroman.  The home before Mango is not one Esperanza calls a real home.

thread_title: Bildungsroman

message: Someone has taken out several parts of this page, leaving sentences incomplete or not making sense at all. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could fix this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.76.141.132 (talk) 19:35, 15 June 2008 (CUT) 
As a middle school teacher, I recognize the caption "Pen15 Club" for the book's cover as vandalism.  Asking someone to join the Pen15 Club is a way to trick them into letting you write "Pen15"--which looks like "penis"--on their hand.  FYI.  sbt
Also, I have noticed lots of unhelpful "citation needed" additions on personal impression material that is simply information contained in the book  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.137.145.60 (talk) 00:28, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: I think the section on the Author is redundant with the Sandra Cisneros page. Could we agree to merge that information? Or could someone officially suggest a merge with the merge label? (I don't know how right now, but may look into it later if no one else takes up the issue.)

replies: text: Hi, Victoria. I think these suggestions are perfect. This is exactly what the article needs to develop a page that truly informs the reader of not only the plot, but the reaction of our community to the content. I think this is a great start. --Aper1123 (talk) 18:15, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Format and Plot sections 

message: I would like to reorganize this section to outline the different views of the novels release and discuss different examples of censorship. This section should include content relating to the themes promoted by the author and display controversy behind the content. This section should utilize multiple hyperlinks to connect various other novels that have the same claims against the material. By increasing the size of this section, the readers will be more aware of our culture banning certain books based on content. --Aper1123 (talk) 18:13, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Reception

thread_title:  Hi 

message: - Rewriting analysis section or at least trying to find sources and adding citations for each of the claims. 
-Renaming autobiographical elements to "background" and moving it to before the plot summary 
- Trying to reorganize the reception section to divide it between positive reception and criticism. 
-Adding to the lead section and reorganizing it.
Sounds good. Will continue to make minor edits to improve the grammar of the page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rberry222 (talk • contribs) 05:57, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

:OK, User:Ubcstudent1234, User:MLTodd, and User:Stephjos, how many of these sources have you used in the article so far? --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 08:54, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  UBC class SPAN 322: Bibliography 

message: Hey guys... I have just removed the character summaries from the article. This is for two reasons: 1. They were overly-close paraphrases from the source used. 2. The source (Sparknotes) is in no way a reliable source in the first place. Please use the sources you have identified above (or others of similar quality) and ensure you are not simply copying or lightly rephrasing them. Thanks! --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 18:35, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sparknotes and Overly Close Paraphrasing 

message: I cut the "Marxism" section. It was tendentious at best, and utterly unsupported by the source cited (Madsen). And talking of Madsen, I saw that a quote attributed to her came from another book entirely. 
There is a lot of stuff to weed through with this article. And time to add properly-cited material from reliable sources. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 06:42, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
