Awards and Recognitions

3. The work will be split up between us in the following manner: mstmaurice will do parts 1-3 of the biography, while exclamationpoint will take care of sections 4-6 of the biography. The remainder of the sections which are shorter will be worked on jointly.

You guys are making great progress here! I'll tidy up a little later, and help format the references. But a quick look suggests that this is basically ready for DYK right now! --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 00:54, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help everyone. Everything's going according to plan so far - but we definitely need more sources. I've emailed the creator of the website which wasn't so reliable in order to get information about the legitimacy of the interview with the author, hopefully that yields something. The next step now is some more research into reliable sources. The article also needs some organization and a lot of reviewing in terms of the writing - but I suppose we can worry about that after we have our information. --Mstmaurice (talk) 06:36, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unreliable source

One of the recently added refs looks unreliable: this one is just a home page, and so self-published. The interview itself might be reliable if we can find it in another source, but I don't think this page is usable as it stands. Mike Christie (talk) 01:09, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've emailed the creator of the page to get more information and see if there are legitimate credentials regarding the interview, hopefully I hear back soon! --Mstmaurice (talk) 06:19, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibility for Did you know?

Not quite sure how the process goes... but I was thinking we could do something like did you know... that Carmen Rodriguez published many of her works in both English and Spanish? What sets her apart is that she was also the one responsible for their translation. --24.84.59.200 (talk) 18:06, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
