1. What stub did you choose? Why did you choose this one? Copy and past the URL link into your Sandbox


 * I chose “Book frontispiece” as my stub article. I chose this because out of all the choices I went through, it was the most interesting and I have always been interested in the subject.


 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_frontispiece

2. How do you know that it's a stub: Identify where on the page that you know that this is a stub


 * I knew that this page is a stub because when you click on the “talk” page, it is stated in the tannish color box on the top of the page that it is rated as a start-class page. Also on the bottom of the actual article it states that the “publishing-related article is a stub”.

3. What are some missing or under-developed parts of this stub? A good way to determine this is to compare your stub to a more developed article on the same topic and category. So for example, if you chose a stub-article on a horror novel, look for another Wikipedia article on another horror novel that is more fully developed. What is missing on your stub page in comparison? You should devote 4-5 sentences to answering this question.


 * This article only has a general information section. It is missing a history section (although it does have an origin section) and you could possibly argue a section that includes some examples. There’s not that many other articles that correspond to this Wiki page that I could cross reference but the ones I looked at are underdeveloped as well. There isn’t a Wikipedia page for a front cover (which this stub article sort of takes care of).

4. In particular, locate the "References" section of the stub. What, if anything, is listed in the references? If the references are hyperlinked, do the links still work?


 * There’s only four references listed for the entire page. There are more things that need to be referenced (I believe) but are not given any. Out of the four references, only only has an actual hyperlink to the reference (story) but the others do not.

5. And, when you compare this stub to a well developed article of the same category type, what sections of the overall article are present, and what are missing?

From Dr. Hildebrandt: Great job on this and SA #24, Ashley. It also looks like you are on track to be able to find an article to edit soon.
 * There is only one Wiki page that I could find but it is listed as a start page. There is more information listed for it compared to the stub article that I chose. The page has a general information section, a history section, and a cover design section.

How to edit Wiki pages: "Visual Editor Buttons"

Paragraph: Set the style of your text. For example, make a header or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.

A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The “More” options allows you to underline (U), cross-out text ( S ), add code snippets ( { } ), change language keyboards (Aあ), and clear all formatting.

Links: Highlight text and push this button to make it a link. The Visual Editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an “external links” section, for example) click on the “External link” tab.

Cite: The citation tool in the Visual Editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the Visual Editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Once you've added a source, you can click the “re-use” tab to cite it again.

Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list.

Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.

Ω: This tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.
