Talk:Ferron/Comments
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am grateful for the editing and editorial notes by Pacien and others, which assisted me and others to focus the article, to clarify some matters, and to insert additional sourcing. Parenthetical source citations are one method of scholarly apparatus for bibliographic referencing in the social sciences and humanities, and may look unusual to readers not familiar with this conventional practice. The ten citations provide the sources of all the quotations and facts presented in the article, and further assists the interested reader to pursue additional research on this subject. I have not yet learned how to insert a hyperlinked note (such as a footnote) to reference each quotation to its particular source in the bibliographic listing, but would be very interested to learn how to do so in Wikipedia. I consider this ever-developing article to be a balanced and informative summary of the biography and significance of this gifted poet and songwriter and her critically acclaimed work. It has benefitted from the contributions of many. My contributions to the article have been drawn from archival and scholarly research about this artist's oeuvre, conducted over a period of some twenty years, for a comprehensive catalogue raisonné and archival preservation project. I hope that the article encourages interested readers to visit Ferron's official website and to research the referenced printed sources to learn more about her biography, and to more directly appreciate the accomplishment of her poetic and prosaic writings and her musicical compositions. 66.31.250.198 22:17, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
