Final edits

Hello, my article is complete: Ernest and Norman (Exit Music)

@Flowersbloom: great, thank you. I made some corrections. Please be sure to sign your talk page posts. —Grlucas (talk) 09:59, 10 April 2025 (EDT)

Good evening, Dr. Lucas. Below is the link to my edited article: https://projectmailer.net/pm/User:ASpeed/sandbox

@ASpeed: great. Let me know when it’s finished and posted, and I’l have a look. It appears as if you still have a bit of work to do. Please be sure to sign your talk page posts. —Grlucas (talk) 09:59, 10 April 2025 (EDT)

Good evening, @Grlucas. I have completed most of my Remediation Articles, but I still show issues for the one named, "Norman, Papa, and the Autoerotic Construction of Woman.

Based on the latest updates, Battles for Regard, Writerly and Otherwise looks good with exception of including a category.

@ALedezma: this one is good. I made some corrections before removing the banner, mostly in your sources. —Grlucas (talk) 09:59, 10 April 2025 (EDT)

May you let me know if there is anything I can do on my end to resolve the issues with the first article?

ALedezma (talk) 21:47, 8 April 2025 (EDT)

@ALedezma: looking very good, but some sources missing page numbers. Please see to those. Thanks. —Grlucas (talk) 09:59, 10 April 2025 (EDT)

Dr. Lucas I finished my remediation article https://projectmailer.net/index.php?title=The_Mailer_Review/Volume_4,_2010/Norman_Mailer%27s_The_Fight:_Hemingway,_Bullfighting,_and_the_Lovely_Metaphysics_of_Boxing&action=edit TWietstruk (talk) 19:44, 8 April 2025 (EDT)

@TWietstruk: good work so far, but there is more to do: placement of footnotes (eliminate spaces around them and punctuation always goes before the footnote.); proofread for typos; fix all red errors at the bottom (most of these are from errors in sourcing); works cited entries should be bulleted list and eliminate space between entries. Thanks. —Grlucas (talk) 10:05, 10 April 2025 (EDT)

Dr. Lucas, I have finished remediating my assigned article. Please review it at your earliest convenience. The link is here: Norman Mailer's Mythmaking in An American Dream and “The White Negro”Erhernandez (talk) 08:52, 4 April 2025 (EDT)

@Erhernandez: well done! A couple of things: never bury your talk page post. Put it at the bottom, preferably in its own section by clicking "Add topic" on the top-right. I removed your banner after making a few corrections. Please have a look over it and move on to the next thing. Thanks. —Grlucas (talk) 09:06, 5 April 2025 (EDT)

Dr. Lucas, I transferred and edited my article. Can you look at it and remove the banner? Here's the link: Authorship and Alienation in Death in the Afternoon and Advertisements for Myself ( APKnight25 (talk) 13:02, 28 March 2025 (EDT) )

@APKnight25: looking good! A couple of things: never bury your talk page post. Put it at the bottom, preferably in its own section by clicking "Add topic" on the top-right. Next, eliminate all "fang" quotes in the article and add “real quotation marks.” Your sources should be a bulleted list. And there should be no space before a citation. You’re almost finished! —Grlucas (talk) 11:21, 30 March 2025 (EDT)

Remediation of "Reinventing the Wheel" Mailer Article for Review

Dr. Lucas,

My article is ready for review.

Thank you! TPoole (talk) 15:29, 29 March 2025 (EDT)

@TPoole: great! Could you include a link to it? Thanks. —Grlucas (talk) 11:07, 30 March 2025 (EDT)
OK, I found it. Looking really good. Great work. There are some citation issues that need to be seen to. The two red categories at the bottom should not be there; they will go away when the citations errors are corrected. Eliminate any quotation mark "fangs" in the text and replace them with “real quotation marks.” Let me know if you need help. —Grlucas (talk) 11:14, 30 March 2025 (EDT)
@Grlucas, what are the citation issues? Which ones need correcting? TPoole (talk) 17:31, 31 March 2025 (EDT)
@TPoole: When you click your citations, they should jump to the works cited entry they correspond to. Several of yours do not, indicated by the red “Harv and Sfn no-target errors” at the bottom. You also have a "CS1 maint: Unrecognized language" error that will likely be cleared up when you fix the citation issues. —Grlucas (talk) 08:55, 1 April 2025 (EDT)
@Grlucas, I have tried correcting the sfn codes in my citations. I was able to get the 2 web citations to link correctly. But for some reason, I cannot get the Mailer 1967 film Wild 90 citation to link to the reference list. Please advise. TPoole (talk) 20:24, 4 April 2025 (EDT)
@TPoole: OK, all fixed and published. Thanks. Please move on to another remediation. —Grlucas (talk) 08:46, 5 April 2025 (EDT)

Remediation of: "Contradictory Syntheses: Norman Mailer’s Left Conservatism and the Problematic of 'Totalitarianism'"

Dr. Lucas

I finished the remediation of the following article:

https://projectmailer.net/pm/The_Mailer_Review/Volume_5,_2011/Contradictory_Syntheses:_Norman_Mailer%E2%80%99s_Left_Conservatism_and_the_Problematic_of_%E2%80%9CTotalitarianism%E2%80%9D

It is ready for your review. Thank you. JKilchenmann (talk) 19:04, 30 March 2025 (EDT)

@JKilchenmann: looks great. I made some tweaks to the references and some throughout, like changing ' and " to real apostrophes and quotation marks. A bit more clean-up, but you might want to check over it again. I removed the under-construction banner. Well one. —Grlucas (talk) 21:32, 30 March 2025 (EDT)

Final Edit

Thank you for your comments on my remediation of "Authorship and Alienation in Death in the Afternoon and Advertisements for Myself."

I've eliminated the "fang quotes" and changed them to “real quotation marks.” This was a very fascinating tip that taught me something new. It's something I've never noticed before but now always will.

I also put my sources in a bulleted list and removed the space before the citations. I think I'm all set now.

@APKnight25: great work! Please help other editors to complete the volume. Thanks! —Grlucas (talk) 08:34, 3 April 2025 (EDT)

Remediation for Firearms in the Works of Hemingway and Mailer

Grlucas

Hi Dr. Lucas,

I believe I have done everything for the Remediation of my article. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do.

I will also link the article below:

https://projectmailer.net/pm/The_Mailer_Review/Volume_4,_2010/Firearms_in_the_Works_of_Hemingway_and_Mailer

Thank you, Caitlin Vinson

@CVinson: great work so far. Your references must use templates, please. Blockquotes must also be done correctly. No spaces or line breaks before or after the {{pg}} template. Footnote placement is also off (punctuation goes before the footnote; no spaces before or after the footnote). I will add the abstract and url. Thanks. —Grlucas (talk) 08:30, 3 April 2025 (EDT)
@Grlucas: Hi Dr. Lucas, I believe there have been some updates made to the project. I believe I have also updated the works cited section to show correct templates. Please let me know if there is anything further that I need to do. Thank you, Caitlin.
@CVinson: please sign your talk page posts correctly. Thanks. You still need to do some work on the sources. Use the |author-mask=1 in your template for repeated author names. Also, you must eliminate the red “Harv and Sfn no-target errors” message at the bottom. No spaces or returns before or after the {{pg}} call, as I already mentioned above. No parenthetical citations should be left, either; those should all be remediated to footnotes. Thanks. —Grlucas (talk) 10:50, 8 April 2025 (EDT)
@Grlucas: I have updated the sources and updated the in-text citations. I am still having trouble with the "Harv and Sfn no-target errors." I have not been successful in fixing this error and have tried multiple ways to fix it. —CVinson (talk) 8:18, 8 April 2025 (EDT)
@Grlucas: Hi Dr. Lucas, I see that I still have a red X for my remediation assignment. Is there something else I am still missing? —CVinson (talk) 11:35, 10 April 2025 (EDT)

@MerAtticus: good work so far. Please remove wikilinks. Change ' and " to typographical apostrophes and quotation marks. And all red errors at the bottom of the page need to be taken care of. These are likely all from coding errors in your sources. Thanks! —Grlucas (talk) 07:24, 7 April 2025 (EDT)

Vol. 4: Rumors of Grace article remediated

I believe I have completed remediation of Rumors of Grace: God-Language in Hemingway and Mailer, vol. 4. I was having last-minute trouble with sfn errors for sources without authors, but Justin Kilchenmann helped me out, so I think they are fixed.

@Sherrilledwards: You have done a remarkable job—a real Herculean effort! Footnotes should not go in any notes. See those I changed; the others should be changed in the same way. I have done some, but the others have to be fixed, I'm afraid. Thanks! —Grlucas (talk) 09:20, 8 April 2025 (EDT)

Completed: Norman Mailer: Playboy Magazine

I hope I am doing this is right. I have finished remediating my article about Norman Mailer and its in my designated sandbox here. If there are any last minute edits, let me know. I got the last of the errors removed yesterday. And I believe we are on the same page with leaving the in-line citations for Playboy to be as is, since the author didn't put them down in the works cited. NrmMGA5108 (talk) 20:14, 7 April 2025 (EDT)Nina Mizner

@NrmMGA5108: looking good! So, the parenthetical citations still in the article, I'm assuming, are there because of those missing sources? Please check your page numbers; some seem to be off. Thanks. —Grlucas (talk) 10:04, 8 April 2025 (EDT)

Completed Remediation From Here to Eternity and The Naked and The Dead: Premier to Eternity?

Greeting Dr. Lucas,

I have made the adjustment that you mentioned.

I also made additional edits to my short footnotes and noticed that my citations did not link to my references - which has been fixed.

I have tested all of my citations, and they all work.

Here is my article by Alexander Hicks, From Here to Eternity and The Naked and The Dead: Premier to Eternity?

https://projectmailer.net/pm/The_Mailer_Review/Volume_5,_2011/From_Here_to_Eternity_and_The_Naked_and_the_Dead:_Premiere_to_Eternity%3F

Have a great day.

@THarrell: Please always sign your talk page posts. Several “quoted items” in the article appear as ‘quoted items’; these must be corrected, please. No spaces or returns should surround {{pg}} calls. Multiple page numbers should look like this {{sfn|Moretti|1996|pp=11-14}}; note the double pp. There seem to be many typos. I corrected some for you, but you must see to the rest. Thanks. —Grlucas (talk) 10:16, 8 April 2025 (EDT)


@Grlucas: Greetings,

Are these the only additional corrections that need to be made? This is different from what you mentioned before.

I just want to be sure that I have hit everything.

Also can you verify what other typos you are seeing, I have ran through this twice.

If something is spelt a certain way, for example "Soljer", I have left it that way. Since it is mentioned like that in the article. —THarrell (talk) 06:49, 8 April 2025 (EDT)


@Grlucas: Greetings,

I have gone through and fixed all of the short footnotes.

I have gone line by line with a ruler to look at any typos, and fixed the words that I found that had a dash in them/needed to be lowercased.

I have also fixed the quotations.

@KForeman: it's coming along. Please always sign your talk page posts. Right up top, there are errors. Please use the real {{pg}}, like all the other articles. Citations need to be fixed. All parenthetical citations must be converted. You still have quite a bit of work to do. All red sections need to be seen to and corrected. Thanks. —Grlucas (talk) 10:20, 8 April 2025 (EDT)

I enjoyed working on this assignment. I look forward to your suggestions and feedback. All the best, Danielle (DBond007)

@DBond007: ok, good work. Please remove all the external links. Links to Wikipedia are not necessary, but if used, they need to be done correctly. There should be no spaces before {{sfn}}. May sure all your ' and " are actually typographical apostrophes and quotation marks. Remove any superfluous spaces and line breaks; these mess up the formatting. Thanks! —Grlucas (talk) 17:29, 8 April 2025 (EDT)
