Hey there. Good work so far on [[The Mailer Review/Volume 2, 2008/From Monroe to Picasso: Norman Mailer and the Life-Study|your remediation]]. There are some typos and your references need fixing. I fixed the first paragraph, and moved the rest of the article you posted to [[User:Eswilliams/sandbox|your sandbox]] to work on. Let me know if you have any questions or need any more help. —[[User:Jules Carry|Jules Carry]] ([[User talk:Jules Carry|talk]]) 17:18, 15 September 2020 (EDT)

== Rollback ==

Sorry, I had to rollback [[The Mailer Review/Volume 2, 2008/From Monroe to Picasso: Norman Mailer and the Life-Study|your article]] again—there are just too many errors. I recommend you transfer a paragraph at a time, so you can find errors as you go (you shouldn't save each time, just preview to be sure everything is working). Also, punctuation always goes ''before'' the source, like this.<ref>This is a correct example.</ref><br />“or this.”<ref>This is also correct.</ref><br />not like this<ref>This is an incorrect correct example.</ref>.<br />—[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 20:47, 22 September 2020 (EDT)

:{{reply to|Grlucas}} Thanks for the heads up, This method of creating in text citations is new to me and I didn't know about the punctuation aspect of that, thank you for the advice. Are those the errors you are talking about? I thought I mostly cleaned up the rest of the formatting issues that happened when I transferred from the pdf, but I would appreciate some direction there as I'm not entirely sure what else i've messed up.

:also I don't know how to fix that citation error that is popping up, do you have any advice for that? I started a [https://discourse.grlucas.net/t/multiple-works-cited-in-the-same-year-for-the-same-author/523/2 help thread] in the forum, but it looks like nobody's looked at it yet. Sorry I'm having a hard time catching on with this project.<br /> -[[User:Eswilliams|Eswilliams]] ([[User talk:Eswilliams|talk]]) 23:01, 22 September 2020 (EDT)

::{{Reply to| Eswilliams}} I think I saw some typos, too, but it was mostly punctuation and footnote placement. When you have a year that is the same for two references by the same author, use, for example, 2010a and 2010b. I also answered this on Discourse. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 06:40, 23 September 2020 (EDT)
