improved. The news sources are not wildly effusive about the quality of the shows even now. So, I'm just saying that we need to be careful about overstating what the references say. Also, the references don't say that the festival is "improving" - they just say that it has improved from its dismal situation many years ago, and that it has grown larger in recent years, but I don't think they say that "2010 was better than 2009, which was better than 2008", etc. So, I think the jury is still out on whether it is "improving". Also, I would note that the festival has its own article, so we don't need to go into too much detail in the Buxton article, since people can click on the blue link for more information. Nevertheless, as I said before, I thought you did a good job in adding information about the cultural events and institutions in Buxton, and so thanks. Best regards, --

This isn't a 'degrading, "macho" attitude', it's just that she has not done that much work in the public sphere. What other star's PAs have their own Knowledge (XXG) article? The reason she does not have an entry is because she is merely not notable enough for an encyclopedia, there's no judgement on her or her work, she is just not known for her work by the general public. I understand that she is now a freelance producer and if she becomes successful in that field then it might be time to consider making an article for her but at the moment she is only widely known for being Christian Bale's spouse.' 753:

involved in many activities, so the copy strategy you use (e.g., encyclopedic writing) has become tacitly engrained in your way of thinking. Most learners learn informally, by copying good examples. I have read all of the suggested materials, and will continue to read, but we do learn best by doing. I am trying to understand and become a legitimate participant in your Community of Practice. A model example of good "encyclopedic copy" would be very helpful, especially in the context I am currently working on.
