[edit]

II just added some basic info to get us started. All of it is lifted from the NU website. I tried to add less than this, but I immediately got a notice that we "weren't relevant" and so might be deleted. To protect us from getting kicked out, I added basic biography from the NU website, and the list of publications they had cited. Here's some ideas for whoever wants to edit next: - her educational info is listed on Northwestern's website, just follow the link which is reference #1 - the books I listed could be in bullet form (Sam?) - synopses are available on Amazon for the books I listed -- those could be added to the list, which also gives us another reference - more biographical information? I dunno where to find it, but it seems like a good idea...

I will check back tomorrow and see how we're doing! -Emerie


I just added the "Selected Presentations" part. For some reason it isn't organizing the entries on separate lines, as in the "Selected Publications" part. I put semicolons between the entries, but there must be a better way. Also, should we cite every one of these things, instead of just saying that it came from the MSEd website? They are sort of citations, in themselves, though...

To make a new line, you have to hit the button on the toolbar that looks like the Enter icon on a keyboard. it's an arrow pointing to the left, sort of.... Anyway, I just did that after each line of the publications.... you can look at the page in edit view and copy the
which is html code to do the same thing. I'll fix it!! Also, I'm going to make the format of those entries look like the entries under Publications.

as for the citations, maybe we should cite the site in each section? would that be more clear...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ewa23 (talkcontribs) 02:09, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. I think our speedy-deletion alert was removed! yay! I went to add the "holdon" description of why SHG was notable, but when I went in, the tag was nowhere to be found. So i guess she's in the clear. good work, team! keep adding  :) -EWA


I found info on her books on Google book search. Do we want to write about each one or just a few? Can I just copy and paste provided I cite the website? Oriana —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alesandra101080 (talk contribs) 14:35, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Tell me if you think the format and content work for the book overviews (abstract?). Since I haven't read any of these books, I don't want to go into much detail and mainly want to cite other reviewers. Let me know what you think. -Oriana

Scratch that idea...no info on any of her publications except "Turning the Soul". I did italicize the publications (Sorry Lani- I didn't realize until after I did it that you had already said you would). I couldn't figure out how to underline so I italicized according to the NU website- does anyone else know how to underline? -Oriana


Nice work, ladies! I went in and bolded certain words in the introductory paragraph to draw attention to them. I also linked any words/phrases that had a Wiki site, such as Northwestern University and University of Chicago. Also, I added a "References" section and an "External links" section to the bottom. -Sam —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildcats5 (talkcontribs) 16:24, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


I added bullet points to the "Selected presentations" and "Selected publications" parts. Also, I noticed that Sophie's last name is not capitalized at the top of the page. I can't figure out a way to edit it. Does anyone know how to do this? -Sam —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildcats5 (talkcontribs) 16:35, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


I noticed the same thing about the un-capitalized name. I think that was my fault from the get-go because when I searched to see if one of you had already started the page, and i realized a page didn't exist, i just clicked to create a new page. So, my un-capitalization was set in stone from the beginning. I wonder if the Wikipedia admins can just go ahead and change that so it's correct, but I don't think we have the capability to change titles of pages. Which is odd, because in that article we read, that one dude was changing titles to "____ on Wheels." how did he do that? I guess that's why HE'S the pain in the a**, and we're not.  :) I added a bit more info about Turning the Soul according to the U of Chicago Press website, which also adds another source. -EWA —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.105.230.94 (talk) 16:59, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


I fixed the second reference so that it would show up in the references section. -Sam —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildcats5 (talkcontribs) 18:25, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
