In need of expansion

edit

I think the individual articles on the Barlow sisters could use some expansion. I'm planning on adding a few tidbits of information here and there, but, for Becca, there's the whole story of her eating disorder documented in the book "BarlowGirl: More Than Music". Would it be okay to quote parts from the book, making sure to accurately cite it? WordyGirl90 12:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yes, as long as it not slanderous/libel. Please cite quotes inline. An easy way to do this is to use the {{cite book}} template. Royalbroil 12:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I hope I have done okay. The last parentheses around the inline citation is messes up, but the template does not allow its change. Also, I need to get citations for her hobbies and homeschooling history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WordyGirl90 (talkcontribs) 00:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

You did a great job. Quotes can only be used if they are cited like you did on the first quote. I fixed the citation. Please cite the second quote, or reply here and I can do it. I don't like the sentence: "She cites painting, cutting hair, cooking, and fixing automobiles as her hobbies." because it sounds like something that belongs on MySpace, not in an encyclopedia. I'll leave it alone since you cited it, but don't be surprised if someone removes it. Royalbroil 03:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
