Footnotes

[edit]

Some footnotes on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Crane are incomplete and unhelpful. In particular, #Secondary_sources lists three such books by Paul Sorrentino:

(1) Sorrentino, Paul. 2006. Student Companion to Stephen Crane. Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press. ISBN 0-313-33104-9.

(2) Sorrentino, Paul. 2014. Stephen Crane: A Life of Fire. Cambridge, MA: Belknap Press. ISBN 978-0674049536.

(3) Wertheim, Stanley and Paul Sorrentino. 1994. The Crane Log: A Documentary Life of Stephen Crane, 1871–1900. New York: G. K. Hall & Co. ISBN 0-8161-7292-7.

Five of the 250 footnotes refer to works of Paul Sorrentino, as shown below.

40.  Sorrentino, pp. 34–35.

188. Sorrentino, Life of Fire, p 11 194. Sorrentino, Life of Fire, p. 131 196. Sorrentino, Life of Fire text, p. 25 202. Sorrentino, p. 59.

Of these, 188, 194, and 196 are helpful, but 40 and 202 significantly less so, as the specific works by Paul Sorrentino are omitted.

In relatively minor matters: (1) a period after p in 188 should be included, (2) italicized "text" in 196 should likely be removed, (3) use of the subtitle rather than the complete title in 188, 194 & 196, while certainly better than nothing, may violate a Wikipedia standard.

FAR needed

[edit]

See above for citation issues (another issue is that most sources are lacking isbns or other identifiers as appropriate). There is also some unsourced content, and I'm skeptical that the article meets the standard for well researched and comprehensive. For example the 2014 scholarly biography is only cited a couple times despite being more recent and higher quality than other sources cited to a greater extent.
