Reference errors on 8 February

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Organization for Transformative Works page, your edit caused an ISSN error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:22, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

External links in articles

Hi,

Just a friendly notice: normally, articles don't include external links in the body text of the article. (Please see WP:External links for proof I'm not lying .) Since Archive of Our Own is already linked in the lede (not a typo) and a working link is in the reference for the 50 best websites line, I've removed them from the body. I hope you don't mind. I come in peace, Me, Myself & I (talk) 00:42, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

Thank you so much for your note and for making Wikipedia a nice place! MayCauseDrowsiness (talk) 00:46, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Here's one!

Toni Morrison

Frescadp, I apologize. I had become so used to the article as it had been for a few years I read only the Critique section you added. I did not realize how much you have improved the article in the last week. I would really enjoy working with you to get the article ready for Good Article review. Wikipedia deserves to have a featured article for Morrison but, that's a hard slog. I just ordered two books from Amazon; used, about $5 each with free, two-day shipping: Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination and Critical Essays on Toni Morrison (Critical Essays on American Literature). A third looks promising, Toni Morrison: Memory and Meaning, but the prices are too steep.

I must admit that I'm atoning for a youth misspent with hard science. I've not read much "literature", and my writing has mostly been for oral delivery... my use of punctuation shows it.

Your joke is witty... I like it.

Neonorange (Phil) 07:39, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

@Neonorange:!

No worries---I made a lot of changes--more than I've ever made to an article before, because I was surprised how much was missing from Morrison's (I'd assumed such a famous writer would already have a Good Article)-- and, to tell the truth, I wasn't sure it was the right decision to set the negative criticism off by itself, so you were right to question that. I'm going to put the Stanley Crouch quote in with the positive criticism of Beloved, and then I'm calling it a day for now. I applaud your willingness to work on improving the article but at this time, i don't have time (the changes I made took three over four days of reading and researching--rewarding, enjoyable, but time consuming!).

Thanks!Frescadp (talk) 14:20, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
