 * latest twist on the “fat book” phenomena comes from this Dutch designer. When asked why Boom would make a book that was two inches tall and half as thick, containing 704 pages and 450 images, this is how she replied: “The book is small because whenever I make a book, I start by making a tiny one. Usually I make five, six or seven for each book, as filters for my ideas and to help me to see the structure clearly. I have hundreds of those small books and am so fond of them. I’ve always wanted to make one for publication, but no one has ever wanted to do it. And I thought, well, this time, I can.”

 * You still have extensive plagiarism/copyright violation issues. This quote is lifted in full (you haven't even removed the hyphenation from the original page breaks!):


 * In False Flat: Why Dutch Design Is So Good, first published in 2004 and recently issued in paperback, Aaron Betsky, former director of the Netherlands Architecture Institute, begins his discus- sion of Dutch design with him in his office in Rotterdam looking out of the window and musing on the way in which the scene he surveys ‘teaches us how we can make a good society by design. The book itself is put together in a manner that gives a strong sense of spatial organization and flu- idity may go some way to confirming Betsky’s cen- tral thesis. Generously illustrated and idiosyncratically laid out, Irma Boom’s design lends a logic to the text that is both dynamic and contained. The paperback edition is a satisfying object, somehow more tactile and yielding than the hardback, and between Betsky’s essays and Eeuwens’ collations of images of archi- tecture, products and graphic design, the reader is left with a lasting impression of the imagination and eclecticism of contemporary design in Holland.[5]

 * User:Theredproject there is information in my article that I did not even put in. People who have edited my page have added things and edited. M01022011 (talk) 02:41, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Remember that you are responsible for the full article. If another person has added something before you started or during the writing, you are still responsible for incorporating that into your article. This is moot, as all of the other contribs to your article have been helping you with typos or correcting your ref tags. The sections in question were added by you. Make sure they are corrected by Thursday.--Theredproject (talk) 03:36, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

User:theredproject I have rephrased, quoted, and cited all of the work that I have written in my article. I have cited everything that I have inserted. I don't know how anything could be copied. the sites where i got all of the information that i used in my article is cited at the end of the paragraph. i have cited everything. i don't know how to fix or change anything because i cannot see where i did anything wrong. i cannot have this effect my grade and cause me to fail when i know i did not copy anything word for word.

 * I believe that I have completed the cleanup of copyright issues on this article, after its listing at the copyright problems board, where I found text closely paraphrased or copied from a source. While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation – including both structure and language – are. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following passage from The New York Times:

The article says:

As a website that is widely read and reused, Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously to protect the interests of the holders of copyright as well as those of the Wikimedia Foundation and our reusers. Wikipedia's copyright policies require that the content we take from non-free sources, aside from brief and clearly marked quotations, be rewritten from scratch.

This content has been removed. If the material can be verified to be compatibly licensed or public domain or if permission is provided, we can use the original text with proper attribution. If you can resolve it that way, please let me know if you need assistance with those directions. Otherwise, so that we can be sure it does not constitute a derivative work, this article should be rewritten; there is a link to a temporary space for that purpose in the instructions which now appear in place of the article. The essay Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches, while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism". Please let me know if you have questions about this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:32, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Peer Review
Your sources are put in great context. One of the things I would change is the title for boom. You can possibly put her title as the early years of her accomplishments and then break it up into two sections with her early years and then her late years. Or you can put what she has accomplished at the end of the page and what awards she has won. Overall great work.Cpm22 (talk) 04:19, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Thankyou User:Cpm22. I will change the title and add another title seperating her late years from her early years. M01022011 (talk) 20:29, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

A few things to be added would be citations after particular sentences or paragraphs. Your sources are placed after large paragraphs and could use a little more specific citations. Although very specific and informational, the Early Years section is very large and broad. Maybe you could possibly break it down into more sections, such as specific books/titles/works. The page ends off with Early Years, but what happens next? Maybe you could add a little information from recent or present works. Great work! Ellebrager (talk) 15:17, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Thankyou User:Ellebrager. I will fix the citations and break it down into more sections.M01022011 (talk) 20:29, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Edits:changed a run on sentence, also made some grammar changes in the beginning of the article, and some more grammar changes at the end.Cpm22 (talk) 03:29, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
