User talk:Sacvan

Thank you for the continued work you put in expanding and improving the Sacvan Bercovitch article. You may post comments on the article's talk page if you want to explain the reasons behind certain edits you've made. For example, I would probably place the writing section before the rest, since it is the main reason he appears in Wikipedia. Similarly, the comments on his teaching would be kept to a minimum as statements regarding his popularity are hard to quantify, or verify, and have little place in this article.

If you have information regarding Bercovitch's personal life, you might want to add a subcategory discussing that, where all the details about the origin of his name, his stint at a kibbutz, wife and children (?), etc. could be brought together. I also suggest expanding the opening line to include some of the details of the article, so it would be easier for someone to come away with a general idea of the man from reading a short paragraph (See Albert Camus for a good example of this). Finally, a bibliography is also a good idea (if you want to put in the titles and dates, I could probably track down the ISBNs for them). From there on we could hopefully move on to write articles about the books themselves. Once Again, thank you for all your contributions. AshcroftIleum 22:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
