I made several attempts before creating a new account (as recommended by the "Help" section) and changed my user name to ReadQT. ReadQ and ReadQT are the same person. See both ReadQ contributions and ReadQT contributions. ReadQT 02:42, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect references in the article[edit]

The entire third paragraph is taken from an online article which is not cited properly in the footnotes (and, copied in exact, plagiarized, language):

The plot line of most of the narrative constitutes a picaresque journey of incredible incidents, all governed by Divine Providence.[10] The narrative describes a double journey from slavery to freedom, spiritual and physical. Bayley’s rhetorical structure frequently oscillates between an interpretive perspective that is (sometimes in the same paragraph) both African and Western. Bayley’s merging of African and Western belief creates a liminal space for Bayley in which he does not have to abandon one to adopt the other.[11]

Reference added and quotations. Please feel free to add references and/or quotations as you come across ways to improve any article. Editing Wikipedia is a group effort and we work on many articles; it is easy to leave something out and there is always room for improvement. ReadQT 18:25, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
