[edit] McCall Smith

Thanks for your input on "The Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency". I agree that the original editor is to be commended on his or her attempt, but that the "essay style", with personal impressions and opinions, is not appropriate. It's a great book, and deserves a good article.

Hope you enjoy working on Wikipedia! Camillus (talk) 10:04, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citing published sources

Hello, Delancy! I've added a response to your comment on the Discussion page for The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Go right ahead and edit the pages accordingly; anything suitable for consultation with other Wikipedia editors can be raised on the Talk page for the article in question. If you do cite published sources, you can use citation format for a particular quotation. Otherwise, add a Level 2 heading, References (just above External links, if any) and start the entry for each source with an asterisk. You'll find guidelines in the Manual of Style, or you can "borrow" the format you see on any well-written page of a similar work of fiction. Feel free to contact me on my User Talk page for particular questions. I'm fairly new myself, but would be glad to help you learn the ropes of Wikipedia editing. -- Deborahjay 19:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
