Introduction and Synopsis
Hey Paul, do you mind working on the introduction part and synopsis section, expanding both? Carla and I will be adding a plot summary, publication details, and analysis of the labyrinth and other themes. Otherwise, anything else that you can think of to add would be great!Eshiu (talk) 05:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations!
Well done, Paulleblanc! You can now, if you want, put the following box on your user page:

 * Paul, you have to click the red link to finish the nom; the instructions are at WP:FAC. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 04:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Great; that's two out of three, almost done. But you should indicate co-nom with the other nominators, and sign by clicking on the red link on the fac template on the article talk page.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 04:56, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Good job putting the article up for FAC! Now there'll be comments and suggestions over the next few days. Let's hope that there's not too much they ask us to do. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 05:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 05:12, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

thanks, and advice...!
Heya, thanks for supporting my support (heh) over at the FAC. But as I mentioned, this is an exercise in diplomacy, too. Probably better on the whole to stick to responding to substantive comments, rather than being distracted. Is my advice! --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 06:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Congrats!!
Congratulations on the FA status, it was well deserved.. Thanks for helping it reach FA and in doing so improving Wikipedia :) Acer (talk) 00:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, many congrats!! I'm so pleased. You can now put this on your user page if you want:  --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 02:10, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Wooohooo! We did it! Congratulations Paul! Carlaty (talk) 05:05, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

You and your friends made this a cert all along with all your meticulous sourcing. I love your attitude: your tutor promised everyone in the class that they'd get an A* if they achieved this and no way were you letting the opportunity go. That sort of determination puts you in a small group at the top of your class and I suspect it bodes well for your future success.

Your tutor is also remarkable. Much though I loved my tutors at university, I can't imagine any of them putting in this amount of time and work to help students along within the writing of an assignment. To be honest, I never really thought of my tutors as teachers, just as founts of knowledge who handed out booklists, graded essays, and left the rest to chance. This project is ahead of its time, and I expect it will prove seminal and semi-legendary (don't be surprised if in thirty years time, or whatever, you find yourself interviewed as one of the guinea pigs of this type of assignment). I have no doubt that education will become increasingly interactive, that sourcing skills will rise in importance, and that the barriers between free public information and privileged, expensive scholarly information will be drastically eroded.

I hope you will keep your eye on the article, because trivial deteriorations tend to creep in otherwise. Regard this as a baby that you now have to care for for life. qp10qp (talk) 13:29, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
