User talk:Juliaasano/sandbox Zuni Myth

The additions that you are making are well written. I do think that the article could be even better if you go into a little more detail about some of the deities that Awonawilona created, like adding their names to the article. The references and in-text citations that you listed are good. One more thing that I think you could add is how Poshaiyankya first appears in the myth.

Aloha, the first paragraph is actually what I edited from the original wiki page. The second paragraph is what I wrote as a draft to publish it. Mahalo for your review Juliaasano (talk) 08:16, 15 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Juliaasano I just wanted to let you know that I contacted Atraeber and requested peer edits on your second paragraph. If I don't see more feedback posted tomorrow, I'll send you my own suggestions for improvement. Thank you for your patience! Gardneca (talk) 08:07, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Juliaasano your paragraph is a good starting point for improving this article. Obviously, since the Wikipedia entry is currently so short, any addition at all is a welcome one! You can definitely re-write the entire page from scratch if you don't like the first paragraph, I don't think anyone would object to that. Of course, the big challenge you're facing is finding sources and adding content. In terms of finding sources (which is directly related to adding content), have you checked the Zuni mythology Wikipedia page? Also, a quick search for Awonawilona in Google Scholar turns up some interesting results, some of which you should be able to see on Google Books, others are articles (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Awonawilona&btnG=). I don't think our library is going to be of much help, so I'd suggest finding the most recent book on Google Scholar, and seeing if there is additional bibliography there. Good work so far, I'm looking forward to seeing how the final product turns out! Gardneca (talk) 01:28, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
