Talk:Chapter 1

Some guidelines to improve pages

This page and subsequent ones could be improved in a couple of ways:

• More exhaustive sources: for instance, in the first entry, the sentence "Also, bene [Latin] = "well-intentioned", observes Molly Hite." Who's Molly White? Where did she observed it?

Molly Hite was an associate professor at Cornell. She wrote a critical analysis of Pynchon's first three books titled -Ideas of Order in the Novels of Thomas Pynchon-, copyright 1983. Assume it comes from that book. I will try to find a link or the exact quote from the book.

• Update of dead links and cross-referencing of information: for instance, second entry, "Pynchon worked on aspects of NORAD [later acronym] when he was at Boeing." without source.

• Readibility: style uniformity when quoting texts, single words and links, for instance.
