The link to the BBC website and a video of Woolf is effectively dead for many of us since it requires Flash. This should be removed or a warning placed on the page caption.
It is necessary to add the word "antisemite" in the section "Attitudes toward Judaism, Christianity and fascism". The examples are already there, but someone shies away from the crucial word which describes her attitude (my guess is that has been censored/forbidden by Woolf's feminist fanboys/fangirls)
It's not listed in the source under "notable works". That source was the most appropriate one I found that explicitly states which of her works are considered notable. I wrote it that way specifically to avoid a sprawling bibliography or discussions about which of her works are and are not notable.
I do acknowledge that it's a bit weird that it only excludes one of her novels; if it bothers you then feel free to change the source or reword the section to indicate that it's a list of all her novels and also some notable other works. Ligaturama (talk) 18:17, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To my mind "Selected works" allows one to select some of her essays and short stories, and all of her novels. And I'm not sure why we need to be beholden to Britannica here. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:20, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
An editor making an independent judgement on what works are and aren't worthy of inclusion in a list of selected works seems like WP:OR. I've already suggested that you can change the source if you like. Ligaturama (talk) 18:32, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My point is that I have not in any way suggested that we're "beholden to Britannica". I don't know what your issue is with using it as a source; the author of that article is an academic who's written a biography of Woolf. Ligaturama (talk) 18:40, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Well, it is already sourced (twice) in the article: once in the main text and once in a footnote. So I didn't see that as a problem. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:14, 18 September 2024 (UTC) (.... and it has its own Wikipedia article)[reply]
Wiki Education assignment: Technical and Professional Editing
This article is currently the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 13 January 2025 and 6 May 2025. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Mala1027 (article contribs).
Hello, everyone! I am working on this article for a technical editing project for Texas A&M University. I am a student editor, so I will be including my plans for this article for future reference.
Copyediting: Cleaning up any issues involving grammar, spelling, sentence structure etc.
Refining: This article has been tagged as including intricate details that may not be necessary for this biographical article, so I will be assessing all information and refining as needed.
Citations: I have seen this article contains some original research and lacks citations, so I will be making sure everything is sourced.
Encyclopedic tone: I will also be making sure the article maintains an enyclopedic tone to ensure it does not sound like a personal essay.
This is just a general summary of my plans based on the errors I have seen so far. I will continue to refine the editing plan as I go along, and I will make sure to be specific about my choices. Mala1027 (talk) 19:23, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
