Du bist die Ruh' article

[edit]

Hi, I've just been reading through this. It looks great! Just a few recommendations for your next article, all of which are now fixed:

  • One problem with the article was that it didn't include any links to reliable sources, just blogs. This is actually easy to fix now that Google Books is available: you can look on Google books to find sources and use the citation builder to fill out a citation just from the website address. All you need to fill in is the final page number. (This isn't such a problem with a less-controversial topic like a Schubert song, but it would be for an article on someone now alive.)
  • The other thing was that the sources were duplicated. This isn't necessary. Type in a 'reference name' when you add a source, hit preview, and then you can put in the same reference again automatically by choosing from 'named references'. (You can try this with the article now since the book sources got names automatically - though if you're automatically creating several references from the same book you'll want to manually give them different names.)
  • The last thing was that there were no categories - so I've added one. You can look at other articles and copy in categories you think are relevant.
  • Also, this article wasn't linked to any other, so it wasn't possible for people to discover your work easily. I've fixed this by adding a link on the main Franz Schubert article.
