Attention writers!

There is quite a few of you people that have not added references in your texts in an accurate way. You have to use either footnotes or references within the text, put in paranthesis, and at the end, after the proper text, ADD A REFERENCE LIST in alphabetical order based on authors´ names (family name first), with subheading References. Required information: Author, year of publication, title of book/article, publisher and place of publication. Look in printed and published books how it is done, if you are uncertain. This is not fun to do, but you will thank me afterwards for reminding you. This is a service to the reader. It shall be possible to find the books you have referred to in your text. It improves the quality of your work, otherwise it appears careless. Remember that we are making a book here, and are not just producing a few papers that will be put away after the course is completed.
Apart from this, I must say I enjoy reading your work. There is a lot of potential in the group.
I am now proofreading your texts, checking and correcting spelling mistakes and minor grammatical errors. I am not rewriting anything, it is only the most obvious I will attend to.
After that, I will send to Bob, who will forward the material to you for check-up.
Now, when you get your texts back; check them out and ADD REFERENCE LISTS.
