Talk:Francis Joseph Sherman

Thoughts on recent changes
Good job on the article expansion, it is always refreshing to have something on my watchlist expand. a few thoughts: often with literature authors we have some sort of themes section to examine the themes of the authors work as it has been assessed throughout his whole life. I am sure the biographers and critics you cite problem treat his works as comprehensive a couple of times, you should maybe think about writing such a section on themes. If you want some examples, some FAs that include this are: J._R._R._Tolkien, Mary_Shelley and Ernest Hemingway. Also, if you are going to bold the title of the works, you need to make sure you make redirects to this page, otherwise italics are appropriate for work titles. I am sure I will find some more stuff as you continue to expand :) But good job, Sadads (talk) 22:17, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ Made the redirects, still should have an expanded themes and style section for his collected works,Sadads (talk) 22:23, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Why, thank you: for the kind words, and - for the info about redirecting. I didn't know about that before -- but I was able to follow yours and see exactly how it's done. (That will come in handy, since I did the same in some other articles.) A theme section sounds like a great idea (as far as explaining Sherman's poetry, the present 'Writing' section just scratches the surface for each book - but I'm probably not the person to write it.George Dance (talk) 22:48, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I found an article on Morris's and Rossetti's influence on Sherman, and included a few quotes and relevant quotes from Roberts. That's the best I can do for now; but there's something for the next person to build on. Now that there's a bit more copy, I can see adding subheadings for each book (which is what the bold was there for: I thought a subheading for each paragraph was too pretentious). But I didn't change that; for one thing, it would mean changing all the redirects you just put in. Maybe later, when more gets added.George Dance (talk) 00:30, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
