Hi there. Well done on this article, which is a great first contribution to Wikipedia. Could I ask you, though, to re-do the citations? That would help a lot. The main thing is to use the cite book and cite journal templates for bibliography. You will find those templates by clicking on the "insert template" icon at the top of the edit box. But what I would also recommend, to bring it in line with the most recent best practice, is to use the shortened footnote system, which you will find explained at Template:Sfn. Here you don't actually put the bibliographical data into the footnote. Rather, you put it into a separate bibliography section, and put an sfn link into the footnote. That lets you put the bibliography alphabetically, and gives you footnotes that are far easier to read - and if you hover over them, you get the data in popups, which is really cool. I'll do the first two for you. Ask me if you need help with the rest. --Doric Loon (talk) 10:15, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, Doric Loon, for making those citation changes. I went back today to do the revisions and found that you had already done them. I did add references when the label "citation needed" was placed. JendisMoreau (talk) 17:53, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi @JendisMoreau, sorry, I really should have left that for you to do, but I am an inveterate tinkerer, and I'm on holiday. But I'm glad to see you have got the hang of this citation style. It has real advantages, even if the templates are not always user-friendly. I just added a completely unnecessary refinement by grouping the footnotes with sfnm in cases where two footnotes came at the same place - it looks prettier in the text. So now you can have a little laugh at my fixations. None of this really matters - the important thing is the fantastic article that you have written. Why not do another one?

By the way, when a new article is accepted through AfC, it can be proposed for Wikipedia:Did you know, but that has to be done within a couple of weeks. Check that out - if you are lucky, you could see a little advert for your new article on Wikipedia's front page, which is kind of cool. Doric Loon (talk) 18:15, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Oh, what I also wanted to say: there are a couple of things that will further improve the article from a formal point of view. In the bibliography, can you add the first names of authors, rather than just initials, if you can find them? If possible, it is a good idea to give the ISBN for books - I have added one already. And for specific citations, it is good to have precise page numbers. You already have that in your Dobres & Hoffman citation, and can see how I have fitted that into the sfn format. Do keep improving the content too. I think eventually this could get Good Article status. No chance of getting a picture? Doric Loon (talk) 18:29, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

I think I found the isbns and as many first names as I could. The exact page numbers might take a little longer, though many of the citations to books are referring to the entire book. For instance, Wenger's entire book is about Communities of Practice. JendisMoreau (talk) 22:18, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
