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)[reply]

Citations

Paul, do you mind also adding the citations to your parts that you have added earlier? It has been mentioned quite a few times on the discussion page and think it may be needed for getting good article. Thanks!Eshiu (talk) 21:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Paul, you added with this edit the following:

"Critics have also noted that Bolivar’s anti-Americanism reflects a sentiment which is still widely held in Latin America. Bolivar tells his aid at one point in the novel that “[America is] omnipotent and terrible, and its tale of liberty will end in a plague of miseries for us all.” As a critic observes, American diplomacy in Latin America has changed little since the time of Bolivar. Further, given that Russian communism has come to an end, this modern unchallenged America has never seemed so “omnipotent.” Perhaps then, Garcia is observing like Noam Chomsky and other respectable political scientists, that an all powerful America will only lead to disaster for the world."

It's not clear which critics and/or critic you are referring to here. There needs to be a citation. Can you provide one? This is holding up the article from passing Good Article review. Thanks. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 09:12, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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