{{reply to|Grlucas}} I edited the advertising copy for the gallery. Please take a look at the link and let me know if I am supposed to add the reviews that have been crossed out.

:::{{reply to|Grlucas|Mango Masala}} I reviewed your Trotter letter at [[User:Mango_Masala/sandboxTrotter1965]] and I hope you don't mind that I made a few minor edits such as adding italics and links. I was able to read most of the words you had questions on with exception of one word. Flat could not make it out. Will have to ask Dr. Lucas if he can and make the edit. You did a really good job on the letter.--[[User:Dillbug|Dillbug]] ([[User talk:Dillbug|talk]]) 12:18, 24 April 2019 (EDT) | |||

:{{reply to|Grlucas}} I assume these articles have not been addressed? I'll take the Laist article if it hasn't been taken. I assume the goal is to locate the actual article from the abstract, seek permission, transcribe and post? I'd like to keep working on contributing, even if we're "done" as a course.

:::{{reply to|Grlucas}} Just fyi, I've started the Laist article at [[AnAmericanDream:AmericanExistentialism]]. It's a long one and my cut and paste tool is doing something odd suddenly and I can't move out of the layout tool for some reason. I still need to set up the notes and references as well, so this might take me a couple of days, but I'll let you know when it's ready for your review. --[[User:JVbird|JVbird]] ([[User talk:JVbird|talk]]) 15:37, 28 April 2019 (EDT) | |||

All, longer gallery additions should probably have their own pages — like the Buckley review; the long ad that lists excerpts from reviews would also be a good candidate for its own page. We could mostly just make them subpages of [[An American Dream Expanded|''AAD'' Expanded]].

== PDFs == | |||
All, I have tried to install the PDF handler extension for MediaWiki, but my hosting service is missing a crucial piece of software. I'm going to see if they can help, but I would suggest we continue as if we will '''not be able to get PDFs to embed'''.

:{{reply to|Grlucas|waebo|Dmcgonagill|Mango Masala}} I am back online, finally, after the storms, and am able to convert one page PDFs to JPGs. Is there a trick to dealing with a multi-page PDF? Every time I try to convert to a JPG, I get separate files instead of one scrolling picture, like the PDF has. Any ideas, anyone?

::{{reply to|JVbird}} I know little about it - sorry. I'm trying to sort out why the left side of the letter I added is missing.

# getting rid of multi-page images. Link to another page where you can display all the images and a transcript. | |||
# transcribing all longer pieces on their own subpages. (For a guide: see how the Buckley review is done.) | |||

:::{{reply to|Grlucas}} I noticed that there's already an early mock up of the cover, so is the Mock up that I posted a repeat of that mock up?

Please use [[An American Dream Expanded/Major Reviews for a Major Novel|Major Reviews for a Major Novel]] as a guide to posting your gallery stuff.

:{{reply to|Grlucas|Dillbug|Dmcgonagill|JenniferMGA|Mango Masala|Namir Riptide|Roger C. Byrd|Sherita Sims-Jones|Waebo}} This is where I am stumped. I've gone to the Wiki page for creating a subpage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_pages#User_pages_and_user_space but I am just not getting how to create the subpage. I went to the Major Reviews for a Major Novel and I see what it is doing, that the image has a link to a separate page with the image and the transcript, and I want to be able to do that.

::::{{reply to|Grlucas}} Dr. Lucas, one more question so I make sure I am doing this correctly. I transcribed the North American (Robert Dana) Review and created a sub page [[TheNorthAmericanReview/RobertDana]] My question is this.
