Heroic section and undue weight[edit]

Hey Markdance. Welcome to Wikipedia! I agree with you that the quality of Cantor's work seems quite good. The thing is, if we give him several paragraphs to himself when extremely prominent critics such as Elaine Showalter get only a few sentences, then we aren't really reflecting the debate as a whole proportionally, are we? Here are some ways that we can work Cantor in, though.

  1. Add a heroic section to the Literary criticism of Hamlet page.
  2. If you want to add it to the Hamlet page, keep the heroic section to one paragraph, and be sure to mix it with several other (i.e. two or three more) critics' views on the subject.

Most newcomers don't even understand the basics of citing to scholarly sources, so you are light years ahead already! Wrad (talk) 02:54, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
