+{{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. I did not know how to cross through them once posted. [[An_American_Dream_Expanded/Advertising_Copy]] Thank you.--[[User:Dillbug|Dillbug]] ([[User talk:Dillbug|talk]]) 12:20, 23 April 2019 (EDT)
+:{{reply to| Dillbug}} Nice work. I took out the third image, since it was only of a blank page. You needn't worry about the x-out items, unless you want. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 07:38, 24 April 2019 (EDT)
+{{reply to|Grlucas}} Dr. Lucas, I transcribed the letter in my Trotter sandbox. Please review and advise on what to do for the illegible words. Thank you. [[User:Mango Masala|Mango Masala]] ([[User talk:Mango Masala|talk]]) 12:32, 23 April 2019 (EDT)

+:::{{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)

 == ''MR'' Articles for this Project ==
 These are available in the shared Google drive under ''Mailer Review''.
 * Vol 3: Laist: “''An American Dream'': American Existentialism”
 * Vol 5: Sermeus: “Norman Mailer’s Mythmaking in ''An American Dream'' and ‘The White’”
 * Vol 6: McKinley: “Mailer’s Modern Myth: Reexamining Violence and Masculinity in ''An American Dream''”
 * Vol 7: Batchelor: “Visions of the American Dream: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Bob Dylan, and Norman Mailer Probe at the Heart of the National Idea”
+:{{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. It's an interesting process and everyone I know who is a mover and shaker in various English departments says that the digital Humanities is the wave of the future! --[[User:JVbird|JVbird]] ([[User talk:JVbird|talk]]) 07:27, 26 April 2019 (EDT)
+::{{reply to|JVbird}} Yes, sir! These particular articles we already have permission for, since they were published in the ''Review''. Also, they are already in the shared drive. Just click the red link in the particular volume, and add the essay. Any help would be appreciated. See any other article in the same volume as a guide. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 09:55, 26 April 2019 (EDT)
+:::{{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)

And, need help on adding corresponding transcripts. See links below for claiming & easy access if you are on board with what I started.

 :{{reply to|Dmcgonagill}} Hey, Dana. I'll take the Publishers Weekly Press Conference and will be glad to do anything else as well. Just let me know.  I'll go in and check what you did, but that won't happen until tonight. If you get a chance, can you check me on the way I've done the multi-page  reviews? I'm still not sure I'm doing it right (North American Review, for example). [[User:JVbird|JVbird]] ([[User talk:JVbird|talk]]) 14:51, 22 April 2019 (EDT)
+::{{reply to|Dmcgonagill}} Dana, the transcipt for the Publishers Weekly Press Conference is up but I'm not sure about the format, since the original has columns. Are the columns necessary in the transcription? See what you think, please. --[[User:JVbird|JVbird]] ([[User talk:JVbird|talk]]) 12:51, 23 April 2019 (EDT)
 :{{reply to|JVbird}} Where is your work at? Send me link and I'll definitely check it out! Thanks!([[User:Dmcgonagill|Dmcgonagill]] ([[User talk:Dmcgonagill|talk]]) 15:29, 22 April 2019 (EDT))

 {{reply to|Dillbug|Dmcgonagill|JVbird|JenniferMGA|Mango Masala|Namir Riptide|Roger C. Byrd|Sherita Sims-Jones|Waebo}} All, thanks for all the work. 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. Just posting images will not suffice; there should be a transcript on a separate subpage. They should be subpages, as I mentioned, of [[An American Dream Expanded|''AAD'' Expanded]], too: just look at the model above. Thanks. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 18:05, 22 April 2019 (EDT)
+:{{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. I'm missing the steps for doing it, though. Does that make sense? Josef --[[User:JVbird|JVbird]] ([[User talk:JVbird|talk]]) 08:27, 23 April 2019 (EDT)
+::{{reply to|JVbird}} I sent you an email that should help you create it. [[User:Sherita Sims-Jones|Sherita Sims-Jones]] ([[User talk:Sherita Sims-Jones|talk]]) 09:07, 23 April 2019 (EDT)
+::{{reply to|JVbird}} Here's how I created the example above: <code><nowiki>[[An American Dream Expanded/Major Reviews for a Major Novel|Major Reviews for a Major Novel]]</nowiki></code> off the [[An American Dream Expanded|''AAD'' Expanded]] page. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 09:10, 23 April 2019 (EDT)
+:::{{reply to|Grlucas|Sherita Sims-Jones}}  Thanks, Dr. Lucas and Sherita, for the help. Working on these posts now and getting them set up correctly. --[[User:JVbird|JVbird]] ([[User talk:JVbird|talk]]) 12:53, 23 April 2019 (EDT)
+::::{{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. Should it stay as a subpage for now while I'm cleaning it up before I link it to the PM page itself and can you look at it quickly to make sure it's actually what the subpage should look like? Thanks!  --[[User:JVbird|JVbird]] ([[User talk:JVbird|talk]]) 13:27, 23 April 2019 (EDT)
+:::::{{reply to| JVbird}} No, it should be a subpage of ''AAD'' Expanded, like my example above. I think this was fixed, and since it's a review, was moved to the bib — it's fun being a team, huh? 👍🏼 —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 07:42, 24 April 2019 (EDT)
+:{{reply to|JVbird}} I hope you don't mind, I added links and italics where needed to your article.--[[User:Dillbug|Dillbug]] ([[User talk:Dillbug|talk]]) 17:43, 23 April 2019 (EDT)
