I have selected the Platus play Amphitryon as my Wikipedia article that I will expand upon/ improve. I plan on doing this by adding a more detailed and researched synopsis, adding a section dedicated to the characters, and a section to the historical significance of the play.

The content is relevant to the topic, but it is underdeveloped. It also seems to be a bit bias and not as specific as it should be. The citations are all reliable. Wording can be improved upon. AngRenzi (talk) 01:10, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Since further inspection I have decided to select the subject Atellan Farce as opposed to the play Amphitryon. I believe this is a better choice because I have a bit more to work with and have found that many sources exist that can help me with expanding on this material.

Feedback on preliminary bibliography

Hi AngRenzi -- you have the gist of MLA style, but there are some details you need to attend to. First, university presses are abbreviated with "U" and "P," e.g. Oxford UP. Book titles and journal titles are italicized. And if you are citing a journal article or other publication that you found in an electronic database, you need to include the name of the database, the URL, and the date that you accessed or downloaded the publication. For more details about this, see https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_works_cited_electronic_sources.html Looking forward to seeing how your work develops this semester.

Peer Review

Hi! Nice work, I definitely feel like I came away from reading it with a better sense of what Atellan Farce is. You have done a great job of citing all of your sources. Maybe think about combining the history section with the rest of it, so you aren't left with that one sentence and really, the whole thing is historical so that would be fine. I could use some more illustrations. And I'm not entirely sure about the direct quotes you have towards the end. I think Wikipedia prefers you to restate those in your own words. But I'm not 100% on that. So far, so good though! Ee1013 (talk) 18:14, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Bibliography for Lerner and Loewe

This is not a set in stone decision and I would still like to see if there are any articles at all related to Rogers and Hammerstein that I could improve but I have found a preliminary list for Lerner and Loewe who I also am interested in learning more about as a musical team.

Feedback on spring 2019 bibliography

AngRenzi, this is a great list, and I'm glad you've found a range of sources (books, articles, encyclopedia entries). I see only two things you would need to correct: 1) check MLA handbook regarding how to list inclusive page numbers. For example, I believe you should write: 276-87 instead of: 276-287; 2) MLA specifies that frequently used words like "university" and "press" should be abbreviated, e.g. Oxford UP, St. Martin's P. Enjoy working on this project! I look forward to seeing your work unfold. Amy E Hughes (talk) 13:37, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
