Proposed Changes to the Article "Absalom, Absalom!"
As far as content goes, I think it would be a really good idea to include the reception of this novel during its original publication as well as in today’s society. There is a section for that in the Light in August article and I think that portion of it really contribute to the overall holistic evaluation of the piece.

I would probably start by looking for reviews in newspaper archives, including those for local papers, literary journals, and national papers. After that, I would probably look briefly into academic publications to see if any speak about the reception, but overall I think I would want to stay away from these because I think the primary sources would be more valuable. Looking into modern reception, current book reviews would also be helpful as well as news articles about reactions and comments towards the book.

In regard to the style and organization of this proposed section, I think it would be best to lay out the material in chronological order first, and then within each segment group together like reactions, listing these groups then in a sort of order from negative to positive reactions and receptions.

== Article Evaluations == Citations can be added by: moving the cursor to the end of the sentence that needs the citation; selection "Cite" from the top banner; inserting the URL or ISBN of the source; generate the citation from the box; select "insert". The citation should be nicely listed in a sort of Chicago style layout.

To reuse a citation that is already on the page, proceed as normal but when given the option, select "reuse" and then choose which source you are pulling from again.

Both direct quotes and paraphrases need citations. Anything that is not a key concept or written in your own language and is not cited is considered plagiarism and is not allowed.

A "References" template can be created by choosing Insert--> Templates--> and searching "reflist" in the search bar.
