<div>== Use quotation marks to enclose direct quotation ==<br />

*"Mom, his name is Willie, not William. A thousand times I've told you, it's Willie." "Willie is a derivative of William, Lester. Surely his birth certificate doesn't have Willie on it, and I like calling people by their proper names." "Yes, it does, ma'ma. My mother named me Willie K Mason." -Gloria Naylor<br />
*'''Remember''' If a single speaker utters more than one paragraph, introduce each paragraph with quotation marks, but do not use closing quotation marks until the end of the speech<br />

<hr />
<div>== Important information about commas ==<br />
<br />
*Commas are the most used and misused punctuation for beginning college writers.<br />
*Commas are used to signal and pause.<br />
*Commas help to make a sentence’s meaning clearer, but if used carelessly, can cloud the meaning entirely. <br />
*The comma was invented to help readers understand run ons and smushed together sentence parts.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''''Follow the rules and you will begin to use commas correctly.'''''<br />
<br />
<br />
== Put a comma before a coordinating conjunction when it connects two independent clauses. ==<br />
<br />
''':''' Our plane was late, so we ate dinner.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Put a comma between items in a series and coordinate adjectives. ==<br />
<br />
<br />
''':''' I’m taking math, science, and reading.<br />
''':''' Use the large, red pen.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Some words seem to go togther, so do not need a comma: ==<br />
<br />
''':''' She is a sweet little old lady.<br />
<br />
== Put a comma after an introductory expression (word clause, phrase) that does not flow smoothly into the sentence. ==<br />
<br />
''':''' Yes, I have visited New York City.<br />
''':''' Although I like reading, I watched a movie instead.<br />
''':''' For example, dogs might be a better choice than hampsters.<br />
<br />
== Put commas around the name of a person being addressed (direct address). ==<br />
<br />
<br />
''':''' Look, Derek, I do not care for your attitude.<br />
''':''' Kim, would you hand me that piano?<br />
''':''' Would you get me a Coke, darling?<br />
<br />
<br />
== Put commas around expressions that interrupt the flow of the sentence. ==<br />
<br />
''':''' I think, of course, that she is the best person for the job.<br />
<br />
== Put commas around non-restrictive information, or nonessential information. If the information is removed, it will not change the meaning of the sentence. ==<br />
<br />
: George W. Bush, the President of the United States, will speak tonight.<br />
<br />
== * Use commas with date, addresses, tittles,and numbers. ==<br />
<br />
: On December 31, 1956, Peter was Born. I was born in Columbus, Mississippi, in the 1980's. Bill Barnes, M.D., performed my knee surgery.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Use commas to set off conjunctive adverbs. ==<br />
<br />
<br />
''':''' Over one million people in Atlanta wanted tickets to the big game. Their access to the Super Bowl, however, was a chance in a million. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Use commas with coordinate adjectives. ==<br />
<br />
''':''' After the NASDAQ bubble burst in 2000 and 2001, the Internent technology companies that remain are no longer the fresh-faced, giddy kids of Wall Street. <br />

The entry was well cited and has a lot of great information. You could add links to other pages.

You have good examples and with some quick fixes it will be a good entry. - Dave Burkert<br />

I like the format that the author used to illustrate their point. I like the way the examples were given . The paper seemed to have pretty good scanability and it was decently sufficient in the information it gave on the topic.

<hr />
<div>Try to make the sections a little more brief and to the point. Paragraphs of information do not catch the eye and make you want to read it, but try to bullet or bold information. These make the eye stop and read what is going on. You have great information within the wiki, but you just need to make it more appealing to eye. Think of it as you were scrolling the page quickly. What would catch your eye? Overall just need little revision. <br />

This entry is full understandable ways of using tone in writting. The entry is also put together clearly. D Davis<br />

<hr />
<div>A lot of great information. You need to break up the long paragraphs and add a table of contents. The information just needs to broke up in to sections. Bold and add bullets to information. You could add links to the page and put a works cited area for where you got the information. - Dave Burkert<br />
<br />
The long paragraphs take away from the information. I do not know for sur, but I don't think we were supposed to use "I".-Amberly Keough<br />
<br />
This entry has a huge opening paragraph. I don't think people would want to read it to get the imformation. D Davis<br />
<br />
You need to seperate your first paragraph. You have a lot of good information, but it does not stand out because its all stuck together. I liked how you linked your sources. <br />

If you stated what wordiness and redundency are, the topic would be a lot easier to understand. Your examples were helpful. You may want to space some of the different subjects out so certain topics will stand out. <br />

<div>== Use quotation marks to enclose direct quotation ==<br />
*"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.<br />
'''Remember:''' Do not use quotation marks around indirect quotations. An indirect quotation reports someone's ideas without using that person's exact words.<br />
<br />
== In dialogue, begin a new parapraph to mark a change in speaker. ==<br />
*"Mom, his name is Willie, not William. A thousand times I've told you, it's Willie." "Willie is a derivative of William, Lester. Surely his birth certificate doesn't have Willie on it, and I like calling people by their proper names." "Yes, it does, ma'ma. My mother named me Willie K Mason." -Gloria Naylor<br />
'''Remember''' If a single speaker utters more than one paragraph, introduce each paragraph with quotation marks, but do not use closing quotation marks until the end of the speech<br />
