Just finished the excellent Reception and Adaptation panel with very varied topics ranging from death to the virgin Mary to Beowulf to Joyce. #Textualities19

[Sonnets, Stars and Shakespeare @AndSonnets]

A very enjoyable presentation by @jamie_christine exploring the portrayal of India in one of my favourite childhood books, A Little Princess. #Textualities19

After a short break, we're back with the next panel 'Cultural Identity: Old World and New!'#Textualities19

Very interesting first panel with speakers exploring the Monstrous from superheroes to women to saints to witches. #Textualities19

A very diverse selection of talks today, beginning with the Monstrous! #Textualities19

A snippet of the edited page #EN6009 #Editwikilit

[Sonnets, Stars and Shakespeare @AndSonnets]

Finally finished, phew! #Editwikilit #EN6009

[Sonnets, Stars and Shakespeare @AndSonnets]

Currently going through the tedious task of linking names to their own Wikipedia pages. #Editwikilit #EN6009

[Sonnets, Stars and Shakespeare @AndSonnets]

The page automatically included a contents box in the top left hand corner which was very helpful. Thank you, Wikipedia! #Editwikilit #EN6009

[Sonnets, Stars and Shakespeare @AndSonnets]

The unedited Wikipedia page did include a few paintings depicting Titania but I'd like to include more to improve the overall aesthetic of the page #Editwikilit #EN6009

[Sonnets, Stars and Shakespeare @AndSonnets]

Although the original Wikipedia page did contain examples of Titania featured outside of Midsummer, I felt it could be laid out clearer if separated into categories such as art, literature and film. #Editwikilit #EN6009

[Sonnets, Stars and Shakespeare @AndSonnets]

I had a bit of difficulty figuring out how to link certain figures or words to their respective Wikipedia pages but I eventually managed to figure it out. #Editwikilit #EN6009

[Sonnets, Stars and Shakespeare @AndSonnets]

No mention of the abuse Titania is made to endure by her husband in the original Wikipedia page, definitely something I intend to rectify. #Editwikilit #EN6009

[Sonnets, Stars and Shakespeare @AndSonnets]

I decided to choose the Titania character page to edit because, although she is a highly important character in Midsummer, the page lacks a lot of information, particularly when compared to the character page for her husband Oberon. #Editwikilit #EN6009

A quick before picture of the unedited page #Editwikilit #EN6009

[Sonnets, Stars and Shakespeare @AndSonnets]

First minor change, altering Titania from a character in Midsummer to a PIVOTAL character #Smallthingsmatter #Editwikilit #EN6009

[Sonnets, Stars and Shakespeare @AndSonnets]

Just about to start editing the character page of Titania from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream!' #Editwikilit #EN6009

[Sonnets, Stars and Shakespeare @AndSonnets]

Excited to take part in the UCC English MA #EN6009 Wikipedia editing assignment tomorrow morning which will be live-tweeted! #Editwikilit
