Talk:Stephanie Strickland

I will shortly be adding quotations from, and links to, published reviews of Strickland's work. Happy to hear from collaborators also interested in Strickland. Juliannechat (talk) 06:35, 5 December 2012 (UTC)juliannechat

See above: despite my big plans, when I saw that many of Strickland's major works were not yet listed, I added those before doing anything else. I have used a quotation to explain how her works overlap print and electronic realms because (as the critical reception material will show) the overlapping elements of her work are the ones that critics and academics have found particularly notable (pro and con). To facilitate presentation of the key critical material, I have listed works from both (and mixed) media in the same WORKS list (for now).

I would be thrilled by any suggestions for further improvement...wait, isn't there a tag for that? Thanks in advance!

(1) Is it necessary to list EVERY periodical that ever published her poetry? (Is the list overwhelming? Also it's only from her own CV - is that a source of sufficient quality?) I think it could go out or be shortened to "S's work has appeared in numerous periodicals, in print and online, including..."

(2) How much work should I do on this before taking off the "auto" so it's no longer automatically a stub...

(3) I used Wanda Phipps (another NYC writer) as a model. Are there other or more helpful models for living authors? I do want to add a "critical reception" section - short, just the key publications - and Wanda doesn't have those. Juliannechat (talk) 10:39, 5 December 2012 (UTC)juliannechat
 * Hi there.
 * No. In addition to the major works, list the most important periodicals or just summarize them by saying something similar to "her poetry has also been published in a number of periodicals, with the most important being X, Y and Z" (along with references). If possible you should try to avoid using her own CV, as we have no way of verifying it without other sources. If possible, the periodicals should be used as a source if they published her. Remember that a reference doesn't have to be in the form of a link, a book or the issue of a journal/periodical is just as good (if not better).
 * You can probably remove the stub template now, the article is longer than a stub usually is.
 * Have a look in categories such as Category:American women poets for more examples. An article may contain any section as long as it's relevant to the article. Adding a section on critical reception would also be a natural place for more information on any awards.
 * Hope this helps you a little! Bjelleklang -  talk 11:10, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

I've thanked Bjelleklang on their page for the help, and also learned from the reformatting by 68.48.52.26. I've almost come to the end of the Strickland material I have here to be added, but will probably do a few more edits before I am able to shape it properly. My to-do list: Juliannechat (talk) 01:24, 11 December 2012 (UTC)juliannechat
 * 1) Where possible make references more usable (not just links) following Bjelleklang's advice.
 * 2) Need to confirm with Star Black (the photographer) that the photo has been released under a license that allows it to be used here, and complete the paperwork for that over at Wikimedia.
 * 3) Add more material under Career (her time as an editor) and a Critical Reception section.
 * 4) Reduce the number of periodicals, and definitely add links to the notable ones that have Wikipedia entries.
 * 5) Remove the stub designation.
 * 6) See whether I can find a usable reference for this, which I heard about at an e-literature meeting: Strickland's "papers" are going to Duke; she was chosen by Duke partly because she offers an opportunity to experiment with the archiving of a writer whose work is partly in print and partly born-digital, and who often collaborated with others (so they are collecting email etc). Will only include if it seems relevant. Again, thank you everyone!

Have begun the "Critical reception" section by adding comments from six critics and scholars (four of whom have Wikipedia entries of their own). Have provisionally removed the Notability tag but understand there is more work to be done in this area. [Have a number of additional references but don't want this section to overwhelm the others.] Juliannechat (talk) 21:23, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

"Sea and Spar Between" is incorrectly attributed to Stephanie Strickland alone, but in reality it was co-authored by NIck Montfort. Not sure how to correctly add this info (do I just edit the line? Where does his credit go? Or is it not actually necessary to include given that this is S's page?) but thought I would leave a note on the Talk page for some more confident person to respond to. 70.42.157.5 (talk) 03:56, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * [[Image:U2713.svg|18px|link=|alt=]] Already done I'm not quite sure what you were seeing, because this article does credit Montfort.
 * (Just a note: It is customary to place your questions after .) --User:Anon126 (talk - contribs) 05:55, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

I have recently improved "Critical reception" and reduced the periodicals as discussed. I will be doing further work today, trying to make the sections more compact but also more thorough. Juliannechat (talk) 12:22, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
