Untitled

I've removed this article from the GA nominee list because it needs a great deal of its language changed in order be more encyclopediac. Help would be appreciated, hoping to have it back on the list by the end of next week. Thanks. Bardofcornish (talk) 20:22, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

refs

My technical skills on WP are not great, and I'm having some trouble citing sources. Perhaps I'm using the wrong system (footnotes) but how do I get number one to appear under a refrences section? Any help would be greatly apreciated, or leave a comment on my talk page. Thanks. Bardofcornish 00:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Looks like it's been fixed. Bardofcornish 12:01, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Birth name?

What was it?

Propaganda

There seems to be a blatant piece of propaganda in the paragraph about the novel by Chiaverini. Rhus (talk) 16:43, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

I agree, possibly it would be better to list it in the bibliography or have an "impact" section with a reference to it. It's worth mentioning, but not in that way, in the middle of the section like that.96.233.98.79 (talk) 16:29, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Spelling of Keckly's name

It is now established that Keckly's name is spelled "Keckly," not "Keckley." See footnotes 3, 4, and 5. Therefore, I think that "Keckley" in the title of the article and every use of "Keckley" in the article should be changed to "Keckly," with a statement somewhere containing the information in footnote 4, explaining that her name was previously misspelled.
