Proposals for Article Revision

After reviewing The Blizzard article and comparing to similiar articles, we have some changes to the article that we would wish to make. The changes we are proposing to make to the article will be to add multiple new sections. These sections may include the considered genre of the work, theme(s), alternate translations (with links), and a possible modern adaptation section. We would also like to add the date of creation for this work.

Of course, all of the making of these proposed sections will be based on our ability to find credible and non-biased sources for the information required. The article, itself, is already well done, but we believe these changes would greatly strengthen the overall quality. Ccoleharrison (talk) 02:07, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Article Update

Additional information regarding the in-text citations has been made. I will be editing the page to include more detail in the structure and style sections. I will also be looking to combine the film adaptions and music adaptions sections into one section entitled "Adaptations".

To clean up the article, I will be adding a bibliography section to ensure that the citations are noted properly. I will also be attempting to add a small themes section featuring the work of Richard Gregg, on behalf of the Slavic Review.

These updates will be made in the coming hours. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ccoleharrison (talk • contribs) 01:59, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
