Hello! First talk page post.

Preliminary bibliography

[edit]

Hi, Croussos! Thanks for posting your bib. The quality of your sources is great. As you keep researching, I think newspaper articles published during the time of the controversy and subsequently will help you. You can use the Lexis-Nexis database through our library and there are probably other databases that could be helpful (ask a librarian; you can do that 24/7 via chat). Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. Happy writing! Amy E Hughes (talk) 14:43, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Amy! I am in the midst of figuring out if I'm sticking with the NEA 4. Haruki has ceded the topic to Julia and I, I know she has been looking to see if her primary source can be an inspiration for her wiki topic. So I'm just waiting to hear from her. Lexis-Nexis is a great suggestion. 2604:2000:8067:7D00:DCC5:39F9:E37B:DE5D (talk) 14:54, 12 February 2015 (UTC)croussos[reply]

Hi again! FYI, Julia and I spoke last night and she is going to pursue a topic related to her primary source presentation topic (vaudeville), so the NEA 4 is all yours!! .... I forgot to mention something about MLA style: MLA specifies that in your Works Cited list, you should abbreviate often-repeated words like "university" and "press." So if you have a citation of a source published by Oxford University Press, you should list the publisher as "Oxford UP" in your citation; similarly, for a book published by University of Michigan Press, "U of Michigan P." Please take a look at the MLA handbook or the OWL at Purdue web site (there's a link to the OWL on Blackboard in the Resources area) for finer details like these. It will help for your thesis and perhaps other papers you write before that. Amy E Hughes (talk) 15:05, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, one last thing: don't forget to add a "button" on your userpage that leads to your sandbox. There are instructions for how to do this on the Course Page and handout, in this week's tasks. Amy E Hughes (talk) 15:07, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And here's the LAST thing: you can find a lot of helpful potential sources in your classmate's sandbox! -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jsattler07/sandbox It could be a great help as you move forward. Amy E Hughes (talk) 15:32, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A note about image use.

[edit]

Hi. Look, I'm not a lawyer, but follow two paths for me for a moment here (my copyright experience comes from developing FOSS, from whose licenses Commons' definitions and licenses were originally derived):

1)

"No other restrictions or limitations: The work itself must not be covered by legal restrictions (patents, contracts, etc.) or limitations (such as privacy rights or being for non-commercial use only) which would impede the freedoms enumerated above."

Now, 2)

Do you see that little "nc" there? Please check out what it means and compare it to the restrictions (known as "protections") in #1 above (those restrictions restrict restrictions from being imposed, including the nc restriction, if you weren't following). It may be a problem on Commons, and I hope your instructor can address it knowledgeably with you.   —Aladdin Sane (talk) 04:46, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Aladdin Sane for your feedback. I've contacted my professor and will be looking into this. 72.225.219.25 (talk) 22:32, 6 April 2015 (UTC)croussos[reply]
