OK, folks, get ready for the ride: Fun Home will be Today's Featured Article on the front page tomorrow. We'll probably get lots of vandalism, and some useful edits too hidden in their midst. Per Wikipedia:Main Page featured article protection, the article probably won't be protected unless the vandalism is really hideous (and even then, it'll probably be only temporary semi-protection). I won't be around all the time the article's on TFA, so I hope that others will step into the breach. (I know that lots of admins habitually watch the TFA article, so it shouldn't be a problem.) Anyway, I thought I'd give folks a heads-up. — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 05:12, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Well written + Well cited + Appropriately Relevant + Short = Great Article! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.120.161.13 ( talk) 07:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks to MisfitToys ( talk · contribs) for performing the copyedit: there were lots of little things in there I either hadn't noticed or didn't know how to do (for example, I've never been quite sure what the best way to put a posessive 's on an italicized word or phrase was, and was using <nowiki> tags to prevent "Fun Home's focus" from looking like "Fun Homes focus".
But I have questions about two small matters: first of all, the change from "Alison Bechdel" to "Alison" in the plot section. I agree that "Alison Bechdel" was clumsy, but the surname had been inserted because another editor thought that it sounded informal to refer to "Alison" and "Bruce" without surnames. I don't feel strongly about it, but wanted to point out that there was a reason behind the clumsy surname usage.
Second, linking "Utilitarian" to Utilitarianism — I had considered that, but Utilitarianism is really about the ethical philosophy rather than utilitarian style, which is what the quote refers to — more Shaker furniture than John Stuart Mill. Awadewit had suggested that it's generally not a good idea to link terms in quotations anyway — should we perhaps unlink all those words?
These are nitpicky questions, but I suppose copyediting is about picking nits. Anyway, thanks for giving the article a once-over. — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 02:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I am slightly concerned that the section about the attempt by the South Carolina legislature to punish the College of Charleston for selecting Fun Home for incoming first-year students to read may be getting a bit out of hand and/or off-topic. I've tried to keep the section focused on the book and the various responses to it, but I'm not sure that I've succeeded. One news source which I considered including but decided against was this article about an effort to shame the supporters of the funding cuts on social media here, which I thought was interesting but not quite relevant to an article on the book. However, I'd be happy to hear from other editors about this question (is the section too detailed? not detailed enough? too recentist? etc.) — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 05:03, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I am editing the Fun Home page for a class in order to better fit the wikipedia guidelines. I have proposed adding a background section and analysis section to better fit the Fun Home page with Wikipedia's stated guidelines. The background section would include more detail regarding Bechdel's motivation for writing the book and the process of doing so. In this section, I have added more information on Bechdel's motivations and moved the artwork section into it as that is not a standard Wikipedia section. I also added an analysis section to discuss scholarly interpretations of the effects of the book. Please feel free to note any suggestions or other feedback below.
