Online Ambassador[edit]

Hello, Brian, and thanks for the message. I'm looking forward to helping you and your classmates! -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:11, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see you made your first edits to a theatre article. Yay! Note that we do not need to bluelink the names of countries (like Germany) or very well-known cities, like Chicago. The reason is that you don't want people to click away from your article just to read about these places; they might not come back! :p For more information on when to link or not to link, see WP:OVERLINK. Happy editing! -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:18, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Coauthors[edit]

I think I fixed this by removing the old "coauthor" field and using author2. However, you will need to explain the authorship of the piece more clearly in the article. It will confuse readers to say that one of the authors is "Oberammergau, Germany". I would say, in the WP:LEAD section, who the principal authors are, and then, in the body of the article, explain who all the authors were, what their contributions to the text were, and how the various texts are used in the settled text of the play today, or how it has changed over the centuries. By the way, the LEAD section should not have the references; the more detailed section in the body of the article should have the references. The Lead is just a summary of what is in the article below. Please read WP:LEAD. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:41, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the plot synopsis. The article remains largely unreferenced. I added some "cite needed" tags so that you could more easily see where references are needed. -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:44, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Page numbers needed[edit]

Hello Brian. For the book sources that you added, would you please add the page numbers where the information appears in each case? Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:12, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

First substantial addition and visual content?[edit]

Hello, Brian -- it looks like you missed the deadlines for making a substantial addition and adding visual content to the article on Augustin Daly. Will you be doing that soon? If you do, then you'll get partial credit for those two steps of the assignment. Let me know when you've done this. Thanks! Amy E Hughes (talk) 16:49, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
