In this space, you should discuss the creation of your article with your group and instructor. This is the conversation area. All text edits to the draft article should be made on the "user page". Happy editing! --Rburdette (talk) 19:44, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Team, I think you have a good layout and nice information--do you have enough notes? I think the idea is that every line should be footnoted, especially in the "themes and motifs" section, since you are presenting other people's ideas about the themes in the play. I do like you linking with the Faust legend. Can you tighten the plot summary at all? I know the play's plot is very involved, but I worry that the page will be flagged for having too much plot. Also, you will probably want a character overview section that explains each character and links him/her to the appropriate archetype in the Faust legend.

Article review by User:GorillaWarfare

Nice article! This looks pretty solid. I do have a number of comments, however:

• The article is completely missing a lead section. Please add one, following the suggestions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Theatre/Article Structure and WP:MOSLEAD.
• The plot section should be broken into sections by act. I would also suggest shortening it a bit; it is important that plot sections do not dominate the entire article.
• Check your citations in the plot section. Most of the citations are to page 16—does all this action really occur on just one page? Also, just a minor detail: "pp." is used when you are citing multiple pages.
• I would suggest combining the "Characters" section with the plot section. Just insert the information there as prose in the plot section, and don't feel the need to mention the very minor characters.
• Section headings should follow sentence capitalization, and get rid of the ampersands. For example, "Themes & Motifs" should be "Themes and motifs".
• Don't have a section that is only one sentence long. The "Translation" section can be mentioned elsewhere.
• I would add a "History" section. Check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Theatre/Article Structure for some advice.
• You need some more wikilinks. For example, you never link to Faust in the article text.
• Perhaps try to add an infobox. You'll want to use Template:Infobox play. I would suggest asking someone more experienced with Wikipedia (such as an online ambassador) for advice here, as the syntax and usage can be somewhat confusing for new users.
  • Great idea! I've added the Info Box template to your page should you choose to use it (if not, just simply delete the code for it). If you look at the code I've left in all the other parameters. Fill in those that you want to use and just leave the others (any that are left blank will simply not appear on the live page).--Rburdette (talk) 18:33, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Looks great, though! The citations look good, except for the potential issue in the plot section. I would suggest moving this to the mainspace soon. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 16:40, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Impact of recent student edits

This article has recently been edited by students as part of their course work for a university course. As part of the quality metrics for the education program, we would like to determine what level of burden is placed on Wikipedia's editors by student coursework.

If you are an editor of this article who spent time correcting edits to it made by the students, please tell us how much time you spent on cleaning up the article. Please note that we are asking you to estimate only the negative effects of the students' work. If the students added good material but you spent time formatting it or making it conform to the manual of style, or copyediting it, then the material added was still a net benefit, and the work you did improved it further. If on the other hand the students added material that had to be removed, or removed good material which you had to replace, please let us know how much time you had to spend making those corrections. This includes time you may have spent posting to the students' talk pages, or to Wikipedia noticeboards, or working with them on IRC, or any other time you spent which was required to fix problems created by the students' edits. Any work you did as a Wikipedia Ambassador for that student's class should not be counted.

Please rate the amount of time spent as follows:

• 0 -No unproductive work to clean up
• 1 - A few minutes of work needed
• 2 - Between a few minutes and half an hour of work needed
• 3 - Half an hour to an hour of work needed
• 4 - More than an hour of work needed

Please also add any comments you feel may be helpful. We welcome ratings from multiple editors on the same article. Add your input here. Thanks! -- LiAnna Davis (WMF) (talk) 20:22, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
