Origin of article
[edit]This was originally the class demonstration article for researching and writing about influential works of electronic literature. We did review it in the office hours for Wikieducation. LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 18:24, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- As we do intend to create more articles about the notable and influential works of electronic literature as part of a planned project, please be specific about what this article needs so we can learn and improve. Thank you! LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 18:25, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- Can you indicate two or three independent sources that write about this work at some length (not just mention it in passing)? - Jmabel | Talk 03:32, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Jmabel Thanks. I have added the Landow reference, where he cites this and spends 3 pages analyzing the work. Also, could you help me figure out what is wrong with my Landow reference? I don't see the extraneous text from the parameter value?
- I thought these references were substantial?
- The GPS Museum reference has 3 pages on this work, which I thought was substantial.
- The American Cultural Resources Association article is 2 pages with photos (out of a 17 page work). These early newsletters were a bit rough because GPS was just beginning to gain prominence. (Think early references to Edison at the time... not much interest, but pretty important looking back).
- The reason this is notable is that it is one of the very first locative hypertexts and possibly the first to use GPS technology. LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 18:14, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

- Landow reference fixed.
- I think what you say here answers my question. @Vanderwaalforces: does this meet your concern about demonstrated notability; if not, can you be clear about where it falls short? - Jmabel | Talk 18:27, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Jmabel Nice nice! Thanks for following up with this. If @LoveElectronicLiterature re-submits this, you can just accept it or ping me, so that I will. Many thanks again. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:06, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you all. We greatly appreciate your insights. BTW, we are working on a proposal for ELMCIP (a vetted electronic literature database) to go into Wikidata. And we are working on a project for electronic lit so we can track these article creations. I still don't quite get how that works, but I am learning!LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 02:00, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 03:10, 26 November 2023 (UTC)@Jmable, what was wrong with my Landow reference so I know not to do that again? Thanks!
- @LoveElectronicLiterature I just saw this. Please, if you want to ping someone, either use {{ping}} (or equivalent) or write out the correctly spelled user link (e.g. in my case "User:Jmabel", not "Jmable"). (Also, we usually sign comments at the end of the line, not the beginning.)
- The error that messed with template functionality is that you wrote "pages 247 - 250" instead of "pages = 247 - 250". Also, less importantly, presuming "University Press" was part of the publisher's name it should be capitalized (if not it should be omitted). - Jmabel | Talk 21:55, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you! I will learn @User:Jmabel LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 02:17, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
