Proseminar in Homophile Studies
Crompton in 1983
... that the Proseminar in Homophile Studies, offered in 1970 by Louis Crompton (pictured) at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, was one of the first university courses about homosexuality?Source: "I want to reproduce a shortened version of an archival essay written by Louis Crompton, a pioneer in the field of gay and lesbian studies. The course about which he writes was among the two or three "firsts" in the United States" - McNaron cite, pp 167-168
- Comment: Open to other hooks!
Improved to Good Article status by Urve (talk). Self-nominated at 13:01, 19 September 2021 (UTC).
Interesting course, substantial GA on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF. The hook is fine, but you could also go further and say that it was only held one semester. Does it really matter which university (... trying to avoid the repetition of that word in the little space we have)? The image is licensed and a good illustration. - In the article, you may want to separate Cited sources from Further reading (compare In Freundschaft), and may go a step further using sfn referencing (see also there) which makes the link from short citation to the actual definition of the full citation automatically. I wonder if there's an appropriate infobox. I understand that you are still exempt from qpq. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:52, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review. No, university does not matter. Your suggestion for semester is good, and avoiding university name; perhaps these? (only differences is a word):
- ALT1a:
... that the Proseminar in Homophile Studies, offered in 1970 by Louis Crompton (pictured), was one of the first university courses about homosexuality and offered only once? - ALT1b: ... that the Proseminar in Homophile Studies, offered in 1970 by Louis Crompton (pictured), was one of the first university courses about homosexuality and was offered only once?
- I will ask you a question on your talk about sfn... thanks again, Urve (talk) 13:17, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you! how is this?
- ALT1c: ... that the Proseminar in Homophile Studies, offered by Louis Crompton (pictured) in 1970 as one of the first university courses about homosexuality, was held only once?
- for two of the options --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:45, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
