Talk:Bacon: A Love Story/Archive 1

Feedback

• Main thing I notice is frequent quotes. As many as possible should be de-quoted and paraphrased. I don't think any are memorable enough to remain in quote form. Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:35, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks, will do. -- Cirt (talk) 21:21, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Copyedit request

I've put in a request for copyedit for this article, from WP:GOCE. — Cirt (talk) 14:25, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Further reading section

I'm not sure if this is in the guidelines, but shouldn't the books in the "Further reading" section be further reading about the subject of the article, rather than the subject of the subject of the article? In other words, shouldn't they be about Bacon: A Love Story, rather than other books about bacon? Curly Turkey (gobble) 06:53, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Either is okay, though the latter is ideal. They should be books that the reader would find interesting for more information about the general topic, after having read the wiki article. — Cirt (talk) 13:25, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Copyedit finished; notes on lead and citations

I think I'm done with the copyedit; feel free to revert anything you disagree with. Just a couple of things:

• The lead is supposed to summarize information that is in the body of the article; as such, inline citations are not needed in the lead, as they should be in the body. It's not a rule, but a recommendation to leave inline cites out of the lead unless they are for particularly contentious claims.
• There's a citation for the book's 2009 publication in the lead; this is not stated anywhere in the body of the article. If there's not enough info for a "Publication history" section, you could expand "Reception" to "Publication and reception" and throw in a quick line about the publication date (and publisher?)

Also, I'd personally prefer to see the "This ode to 'the king of breakfast meats' is entertaining and informational" quote go—it's advertising, not encyclopædic. An bacon image somewhere in the article might be nice, as well (though certainly nothing like a requirement). Curly Turkey (gobble) 22:48, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay, thanks very much for the copyedit, I'll go through this with respect to further quality improvement. — Cirt (talk) 22:50, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Please keep at short subtitle for location of this page

Please keep at current short subtitle for location of this page.

This is needed for disambiguation purposes.

Per WP:SUBTITLES, this is appropriate as a "short subtitle" may be used for disambiguation purposes, and there are many other books that start with a similar title.

Please, don't move this page unilaterally if you disagree with above, but discuss here on the talk page, first.

Thank you,
