Improving Absalom, Absalom!
[edit]- Perhaps a slightly longer, more in depth lede
- Section dedicated to describing each character-especially given the complex nature of the plot and the way the characters relate to one another
- Section about the structure of the book
- Themes of the novel
- Break up the information in the "Analysis" section into more specific sections. Reads more like the editor's own personal analysis and is potentially biased.
- Would need to look at additional scholarly work on the novel. Would need to actually read Absalom, Absalom! in order to describe the characters or plot.
Article Evaluation

Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.
[edit]A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allows you to underline, add code snippets, and change language keyboards.
Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. The visual editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.
Cite: The citation tool in the visual editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the visual editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source[1] and just want to cite it again.
- Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.
Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables
Ω The final tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.
