Ways to improve Multimodality
Hi, I'm Jamesmcmahon0. Tgraban, thanks for creating Multimodality!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Hi thanks for you contribution, it would be great if you could re-write the intro to your article on Multimodality in a more easy to understand way.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Moohan (talk) 18:37, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

About Draft:Public Sphere Writing
I am sorry to say that I have just turned down Draft:Public Sphere Writing. It sounds like it was a very interesting class project. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. We don't publish original research. A topic needs to be notable, that is already well-known and published and analyzed in the secondary literature. See What is an article? and No original research. I am unable to find any published material on the concept "public sphere writing". The paper is an interesting piece of research, bringing together a lot of ideas, and it would be nice to get it published somewhere. StarryGrandma (talk) 02:17, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Update on Draft:Public Sphere Writing
I've been doing some research on writing for the public sphere. I also added the term "public writing" to the article because that also turned up in searching. I think a different introduction is all that it will take to turn this into an article. An encyclopedia article needs to rely on reliable secondary sources rather than primary sources. Many of the sections quote individual theorists rather than a secondary source that may have analyzed the work of those theorists. But I feel that providing an overall explanation at the beginning with secondary sources will do.

The "Definitions" section starts with: "Public sphere writing can be defined as a set of practices that involves the composition and circulation of texts across public platforms via various media." This makes the article sound like a university paper introduction leading to analysis and conclusion rather than an encyclopedia article. An encyclopedia article is about something that is already known to be so. So revise this say it IS "a set of practices that involves the composition and circulation of texts across public platforms via various media". Then footnote this section with secondary sources. By that I mean not the original authors' publications on the topic, but articles or books that have evaluated the ideas using those primary sources as their sources. See No original research.

As I looked for secondary sources I particularly liked In Chapter 7, "Writing and literacy in the digitalized world", he mentions that the modern public sphere had been "read-only", but no longer.

An area that you didn't mention is how college teaching of composition has changed now that public writing is "read-write". I liked what I could see (the table of contents and a bit more) of I could see the bits here at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Moving-Beyond-Academic-Discourse-Composition/dp/0809324164. I'm sure he does his own theorizing here, but the analysis parts of books make good secondary sources.
