Hi Dan!

Welcome

[edit]

Hello, Bufoamer, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Yunshui, and I am your Online Ambassador for Prof. Hughes' Theater History course. My job here is to help you to work within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, to answer any questions that you have about editing here, and to act as your advocate in the (unlikely) event that you find yourself in a dispute with another user. I have a BA in Theatre (not a typo; I'm a Brit!) from years back, so I'm looking forward to working with you guys on this project.

You are welcome to contact me at any time by leaving a message on my Wikipedia talkpage or by emailing me. I will respond to any messages within 24 hours (though I aim to be faster!), but if you need more immediate help, you can ask questions of experienced editors at The Teahouse or get live help via Wikipedia's IRC channel (connect here).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Once again, if you need help with any aspect of Wikipedia, please just ask; it's what I'm here for. Enjoy your course! And thank you for your greeting on my talkpage.

Adding to article

[edit]

Hi Bufoamer, and thanks for updating the Brooklyn College article. Your edits are appreciated, but if you have a published reference for the changes you've made, by all means stick it in - Wikipedia tries to only contain information that can be verified in reliable sources. There's some information about how to add references in this brief essay. As a general rule, any major additions you make need to be supported by references; you'll need to know this when you come to start editing your chosen article.

Hi Bufoamer. Congratulations on moving your article to mainspace. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there's some serious work that needs doing to the page in order to retain it - at present, it's at risk of being deleted, since there's no suggestion that it meets Wikipedia's inclusion requirements.

The most useful and important thing you can do at this point is to add additional sources - specifically, you need sources that discuss the play in some detail. Your sandbox has a ton of what look like suitable references - get them into the article as soon as you can. A quick trawl of Google Books also netted this, this and this in addition, all of which provide useful tidbits. (By the way, it looks like the original play on which TPoNY was based was Les Pauvres du Paris, by Edouard Brisebarre and Eugene Nus.) Yunshui  08:45, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A bibliography is a good start (are there online editions of any of those?), but what you really need is inline citations. This essay might be worth a few moments of your time. Yunshui  20:09, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
