Talk:El Tío

Notes

I know this subject only second hand through the texts that are cited in the article, so I would really appreciate input from anyone who knows El Tío better than I do. Stylistic and copy editing help would also be much appreciated. --Joe Quick (Talk) 04:31, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

Update

I’ve marked the article “developed” but it still needs work in a couple of areas:

• I would really appreciate a style editor here. Several sections of the article are written in rather dull and simple terms while others feel overly academic. Please feel free to rewrite and reorganize.

• Some sections are a little repetitive. In the interest of readability, these should be trimmed.

• Wikilinks. I’ve added some but I’m sure that I’ve missed some important ones, since I neglected to add them as I was typing.

• Fact checker. I’ve read as many reliable sources as I could find and I’m confident that I’ve followed them pretty well, but they are relatively few in number. So other scholarship, if you know of any, would be really helpful. In particular, the section about the offerings should be checked for inaccuracies.

• A glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. My mouth is parched and I haven’t had fresh-squeezed in months. :-)

Thanks to all for any help you can provide. --Joe Quick (Talk) 06:32, 15 July 2007 (CDT)

Can someone correct the problem with the footnotes? --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 18:52, 14 September 2007 (CDT)

They seem to be working fine for me. What kind of problem are you seeing? --Joe Quick (Talk) 18:57, 14 September 2007 (CDT)

I modified the original image to see if I could brighten it up without losing too much. Yes, no? --Robert W King 23:59, 20 September 2007 (CDT)

I think it is much better.  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 01:56, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

Just want to get Mr. Quick's opinion before changing the article space, seeing as he started the article. --Robert W King 02:00, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

Just do it! It is Draft of the Week, so is on public view. Also, can someone deal with the horrid footnotes, or tell me how to remove the wrong numbers? --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 04:25, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

I actually kind of like the darker picture. I think it shows off his sinister side. But feel free to do as you like; you can count on me to speak up if I don't like the results. :-) --Joe Quick (Talk) 10:13, 21 September 2007 (CDT)
