Talk:And Tango Makes Three/Archive 1

Copyediting
I took a bit from Roy and Silo and also cited the AP story. This is on Yahoo and will not be around for ever. Two weeks is about the limit. I'll see if I can find it elsewhere. Also, I went ahead and linked Incubator to Avian incubation since there is no article on avian incubators, just the one on Neonatal intensive care unit.

In the back of my mind, I think that this and Roy and Silo should somehow be merged. --EarthPerson 16:07, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I found another online source for the November 17 AP article, and cleaned up the section including recent additions. --Ginkgo 100 talk 19:50, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Tangopenguin.jpg
Image:Tangopenguin.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Controversy?
Does moving the book to the nonfiction section really count as controversy? Solar Flute (talk) 18:30, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps but the bigger issue is that controversy sections are discouraged so really all that content should be merged into the rest of the article. -- Banj e  b oi   23:01, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Controversy section needs to include the fact that the penguins are in a completely unnatural environment (a zoo), and that zoo life negatively psychologically affects many animals, so it is difficult to draw any conclusions as to whether or not this would even have happened out in the natural world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.115.7 (talk) 15:34, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Necessary Additional Background Information
A section that gives the background of Roy and Silo in real life and the actual story that occurred at the National Zoo in Central Park would be helpful, as well as additional information on the plot summary of the book. I would summarize the necessary additions with two main questions: -What is the actual story behind the two male penguins at the zoo and how does this effect public perception? -What other helpful information can be added to the plot summary of the book?Zac.schroepfer (talk) 14:42, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Critical Reception Section
The Reception section is heavily skewed towards the challenges & bans of the novel. Thus, a separate section only including the Critical Receptions of the novel is necessary. As well, if there should be a separate section for the Critical Receptions, there should also be a separate section for the value of the novel in classrooms, etc. Morganvr12 (talk) 14:44, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

The cases in the Critical Reception Section should be divided into Arguments For Banning the Book and Arguments Against Banning the Book and then expanded upon and cited more. The Freedom of Speech section should be moved under Arguments Against Banning the Book. Allisonsemands (talk) 17:41, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Allisonsemands

Background
I feel as if there should be more of a background on Roy and Silo and the incidence of homosexuality within the animal kingdom/Penguins. So I will be focusing on improving that background. I have gathered the following sources for this improvement of this section.

Homosexuality in Children's Literature
I believe that one topic that would be essential to add to this wikipedia page would be one on the topic of homosexuality and children’s literature. I believe that this topic is what makes this book so unique, and therefore should be a focal point of focus within the book. I have provided the following citations for this.

New Edits to Page
I was not able to add the comments to the new organization and sections that I added to the page, so the following are my explanations:

-Rather than a plot synopsis section, I altered this to a background section that included the background story of Roy and Silo as well as a brief description of Sexuality in Animals and how this is relavent to Roy and Silo. I edited the grammatical structure of the lead in section of the "Reception" section. I added additional information to the Ankeny, Iowa case

Zac.schroepfer (talk) 15:34, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Subsection Addition
The page should be formatted to where the cases that result in censorship are similarly formatted to those that resulted in retainment, where in the beginning of the table of contents that sub title is defined.

Zac.schroepfer (talk) 07:17, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Reference additions - cite error
I noticed that the reference tag :2 is defined twice in the wikitext. Could someone who added references recently please sort out which usages correspond to which reference? Thanks, Thegreatgrabber (talk) contribs 00:08, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

So its actually not defined twice. There are two separate references (2 and 10) that refer to Simon and Schuster, the publisher, but tag 2 is about the book and tag 10 is about one of the authors. Allisonsemands (talk) 18:05, 5 December 2016 (UTC)Allisonsemands

Reorganization of Background Information
Hi all,

I noticed that since this novel is based on a true story, it is unclear what is background information and what is plot summary. I intend to add a section with plot summary, and then edit and reorganize the section on background information to make it more neutral. I noticed the language in that section is a bit biased. As an example of a change I will make, I intend to change this quote, "The biggest difference between them and the other penguins was that the two penguins, Roy and Silo, were both males" to read like this, "Roy and Silo were both males".

Lizohazo (talk) 23:22, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Confusing Wording and Removal of Unnecessary Language and Sentences
Hello all,

The sentence under the Scientific Explanations section, "Scientists also claim that, typically, animals in the animal kingdom are very unusually fully homosexual" and reword into to simpler words such as "animals tend to exhibit homosexual behavior" to make the phrasing less confusing.

I would take out the whole section "As sociologist Eric Anderson of the University of Bath in England says, “Animals don’t do sexual identity. They just do sex”." I do not believe this quotation offers any extra scientific knowledge. I would like to add to this section more information from a scientific viewpoint.

I would remove the Massachusetts case under "Cases Resulting in Censorship" because it seems unnecessary because it does not offer much insight on the topic.

Invalid Sources
I noticed that a source on the reference no longer exists: http://www.asylum.com/2009/10/02/book-about-gay-penguins-is-most-banned-of-2008/

I also noticed these two sites look like blogs, which are no reliable enough for Wikipedia: http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/11/top-library-complaint-story-about-same-sex-penguin-couple/ https://web.archive.org/web/20140827161739/http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/nlb-to-finetune-book/1295660.html

I intend the remove these references, and the information derived from them. I will hopefully replace them with more reliable sources.

Lizohazo (talk) 23:31, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Edit: After some deliberation I have concluded that the two news sources are in fact reliable enough for Wikipedia. Lizohazo (talk) 14:03, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Misplaced quote and Word choice
Hello,

“	We wrote the book to help parents teach children about same-sex parent families. It's no more an argument in favor of human gay relationships than it is a call for children to swallow their fish whole or sleep on rocks. ” — co-author Justin Richardson, New York Times (2005)[6]

This quote can currently be found in the section of "The Story of Roy and Silo", and I believe it should be under "The Authors". I also want to rename the section to "The True Story of Roy and Silo". I may also try to add the other edition to the basic information box. Lizohazo (talk) 15:47, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Restructuring of Reception and Proposed Value
Hi all, I would like to shorten the summaries of censorship cases under reception, particularly the long paragraphs that only have one source. I would also like to develop the proposed value section significantly. I hope to discuss value to society, families, and curriculums. My sources for that expanded section are below. My goal is to have the reception and proposed value sections be of equal length. I believe this is important so that the opposing viewpoints are given equal space in the article.

Adding a case resulting in retainment
In the section "Case resulting in retainment", I found an interesting case where a woman from Lodi, California requested to ban the book from the Lodi Public Library because the cover of the book was deceptive. However, the book was retained. --Mna58 (talk) 18:16, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Adding a new theme
In the themes section, I am adding the theme of adoption which is something pivotal to the story line. I believe the message of a parents love for their children regardless of whether the child is biologically theirs is a message the authors are trying to portray throughout the book. This constantly shown through the affection that Roy and Silo show for the new member of their family. --Abdullahdabbagh (talk) 18:17, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Adding a small description about a few awards
Felt like it would be interesting to know a bit more about some of the awards. Giving a small description about why the awards are given and the meaning behind the awards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mna58 (talk • contribs) 18:35, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Removing Bias language
In the Themes section, there is bias language in the love section writing that the book is 'undoubtedly' a love story --Abdullahdabbagh (talk) 18:36, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Brief clarification about the mention of homosexuality in book
In the Authors intention section, I am adding a sentence in the end clarifying that throughout the book it is never clearly mentioned that Roy and Silo are homosexual simply showing the reader how close they were and how they are 'family'. --Abdullahdabbagh (talk) 18:43, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Proposed Changes to "And Tango Makes Three"
First I plan to streamline this article. I am going to do an overhaul on the sentence structure and syntax of each paragraph to make it flow better. The word choice is often either lengthy and complicated or it is incredibly repetitive. I plan to make the overall article more cohesive while also improving its legibility.

Then, I am going to edit the “Proposed Value” section of the article. It is a short section that features positive feedback from scholarly sources. I plan to delete that title and instead turn it into an “Analysis” section. Wikipedia notes that this section is very important in establishing the “impact of the book’s ideas”. Here I will keep what has already been written and add more about how scholars view the book. Then I will add an entire section dedicated to how teachers have found use for this book in the classroom, a crucial part of the books reception and impact.

After, I plan to streamline the “Response” section. There are far too many examples of instances where this book has been challenged or banned. I am going to narrow it to three examples for each subsection and each example will only be a few sentences.

I want to strengthen the “Themes" section as well, as it provides more context for why the book may be considered important to teach.

Proposed Edits By Tdonohue18

-Firstly I would like to reorganize the themes to be in the analysis subsection rather than the synopsis section. Given that the themes aren’t explicitly stated it is not as provable as a recap of the book. For this reason it should be put in the analysis section because people will better understand that this is the “generally agreed up” argument for what the book is about. -Update list of years that tango was on most challenged (there are more than what is currently listed) showing that even today it is still a contentious piece of literature -Putting the “background” section before the synopsis. This is the favored method by wikipedia, and may just be a better way to start the article. -Reworking the entire “Analysis” section. Including substantial new sources for the “benefits in the classroom” section + rewording. Also moving the “themes” section into the analysis. -Reworking the “Background” section into one larger piece then three separate pieces as each of the three given areas chosen all fed into each other. -Including a section dealing with the publication and advertising of the book as it came out at a time when homosexual couples were not frequently represented in media.

Bibliography:

-Sources are currently being adapted to being citations. Will be added in immediate future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tdonohue18 (talk • contribs) 18:40, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Proposed Edits to "And Tango Makes Three" -I think it would be beneficial to the page if in the section that is titled "Analysis" there should be a section that includes the problems the book would cause in the classroom. Right now, the only discussion is concerning the benefits of teaching the book in the classroom and without a counter claim this could appear as bias. Ruthaxton (talk) 00:53, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Article Improvement
Hi there. I'm Barkeep49 another editor around here, with a particular focus on children's literature. I see you'll be editing this article as part of one of your college courses. That's great - this article could use some help and attention. The fiction manual of style offers some great guidance about how a well written book encyclopedia article will look (this one has a lot of elements of that but is rather scattered). I also suspect that there is a lot more that can be written from the kinds of sources that you'll have access to through Georgetown's library - what you can add from there will no doubt make it better for future readers. Some of these are referenced in the section above by some previous WikiEd students but I don't think were ever really incorporated into the article itself. As you go about your work please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:19, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks ! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:07, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Proposed Additions and Changes
I am planning on making some changes to the article in the coming weeks. First, I plan on rewriting the background section to eliminate unsourced material and clean up the existing information. I also will be rewriting the genre section to be easier for readers to understand, as it contains odd and confusing wording currently. I hope to bring the genre section more closely in line with Wikipedia's recommendations for articles about books, which includes discussion of how the book relates to other books by the same author. I will also be adding a section on publication history, with information directly from the publishing company. This will also bring the article closer to Wikipedia's recommendations for articles about books. --BenTelerski (talk) 16:27, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
 * These seem great. Thanks for your efforts to improve this Wikipedia article. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 04:13, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Reference Issues
Just a note, citations #11 and #20 are questionable. Both say they are from the Boston Globe, but upon further inspection appear not to be. If you follow their links, both land on low quality commercial sites, not the original articles. If anyone can find further information/a way to correct the citations that would be welcome.

Reception Suggestions
Under the Challenges section of the Wikipedia article the article lists cases throughout time in regards to challenges of And Tango Makes Three. This provides a perspective that challenges the purpose of the book. However, what I find to be an issue with this is that there are only two cases that come from an international standpoint, that being Singapore and Hong Kong. I suggest that if there are not more cases from an international perspective there should be more information put in about the cases of Singapore and Hong Kong. Although most of the criticism that arises from the book stems from the United States, I find it crucial to view this issue through an international lens to gain a stronger understanding of how other countries tackle issues of literacy censorship.
