Hi David
Glad to see you here! Enjoy the weekend and I'll see ya in class! Mcraab123 (talk) 00:22, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Welcome
Hi, David! Thanks for your message on my Talk page and I hope your first edits went well. Welcome to Wikipedia! Amy E Hughes (talk) 14:54, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Sandbox?
Hi, Deliirving -- I got your message that you posted your bibliography in your Sandbox, but for some reason I can't access your sandbox...it could be because you need to add a link to it on your user page (there is no link at the moment). Go to your User page and add this text at the bottom: Don’t forget the curly brackets! This will add a “button” to your User page that will allow me to access your sandbox. Please let me know when you've had a chance to do this, and then I will review your citations and give you feedback. Thanks! Amy E Hughes (talk) 14:02, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Nevermind -- I was able to find your sandbox another way, and so I looked at your bib. The sources you've chosen look great and promising. However, I can't tell if you've formatted them using the Wiki referencing tool (which formats in APA style) or if you've styled them in accordance with MLA? In any case, if you did format in MLA, you have some errors and I would be happy to point them out to you if you make an appointment to meet with me. You might also be able to identify the errors yourself if you page through the advice and examples at the OWL at Purdue: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ Let me know if you have questions or need help, or leave me a message here. Thanks! Amy E Hughes (talk) 14:54, 2 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, David -- the educational banner should be added to the Talk page of the article you're working on (not your user Talk page). Thanks! Amy E Hughes (talk) 15:23, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Preliminary bibliography
Hi, Deliirving -- thanks for posting your prelim bib. I am excited you're thinking of working on Barker this semester. Your list looks solid so far. Remember, though, that in MLA style, book titles should be in italics rather than quotation marks, and you don't need to include the state next to the city if it's clear from the publisher's name where it's located (e.g., the state is already in the name of Southern Illinois University Press). Let me know if you need help or have questions. Happy researching! Amy E Hughes (talk) 15:25, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Multiple citations to the same work
Hi, Deliirving -- I just looked at the additions you made to your Wikipedia article. Note that when you cite the same source more than once, you need to give the source a "Ref Name" so that it will have the same reference number throughout the article. This has the added benefit of reducing your time -- whenever you cite the source, you can just enter the name instead of all of the publication info in the citation tool. For more information, see this page: Reference lists: the basics Pay special attention to the section "Footnotes: using a source more than once." Amy E Hughes (talk) 18:47, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Amy and Deliirving. I've cleaned up some of the reference issues on the page. Multiple references are tricky, especially where editors try to preserve pagination for individual references. If we name as a specific reference (e.g. ), subsequent uses of it  will point to that page only. There are a few ways to split the difference, but none of them are easy. I wish we could use named references and specify a page for individual uses, but for right now some combination of one-off references, named references and author-date citations for repeated trips to individual pages in one text may work.
