Athenian tragedy sandbox

Hello. It seems you've found my Athenian tragedy sandbox and added some info on some of the lyrical forms, etc. Thank you for that, although I'm afraid that not all of the information is correct. A monody, for example, is a song, not a speech, and was sung by one of the actors on his own (hence "mono"). And the "turning" of the strophes is a contentious issue--there isn't much evidence for the actual forms of dance employed. As you'll see from the Theatre of ancient Greece article, Wikipedia is full of information whose reliablity is dubious, unfortunately, so in the article that I'm preparing I am making sure that I provide at least one, and often several, sources for each and every statement that I make in the article. When it finally goes into the mainspace, then it will be a reliable article. I haven't worked on that one for a little while, but it will go live eventually.

I don't want to discourage you from contributing to the encyclopaedia, as it sorely needs help, especially in this subject-area. I would encourage you, however, to try to always keep the importance of providing a reliable citation foremost in your mind. In practice, thesedays, what that means is that every sentence needs to have a footnote that gives a source and page number, where the sceptial browser can go and check that fact for themselves. Otherwise your contribution can always be deleted without discussion. It looks like you're a new contributor (hence my welcome note above), so you wouldn't know this, but generally it's frowned upon to alter "personal" pages--i.e., those that start with a "User:blahblah"--without first checking with the relevant User. They generally contain drafts of articles that are not ready for public consumption yet.

I hope that's helpful. If you are interested in collaborating on developing the Athenian tragedy article, do let me know - you can leave a message on my "talk" page (click the link next to my username at the end of this message.

Happy editing,

No worries. And thanks for the encouragement. I might return to the subject a little later in the summer, though I have some Deleuze-Guattari and Stanislavski articles on the go as well that'll probably come first. I'm involved with a company developing a new version of Electra, but we're not due to return to it until September, so my tragedy-related Wikis might wait until that's about to kick off. If you're going to be contributing to theatre-related articles, you might like to join the Wikiproject. Just add your username here. And is SF San Fran? I lived near there a while back, when I was studying. Kind regards, DoctorMabuse (talk) 15:07, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
